MATIC to SAND Exchange

In the summer of 2021, The Sandbox announced its intentions to move to the [Polygon](https://changenow.io/blog/polygon-records-100-million-distinct-addresses-in-four-months) blockchain to reduce the carbon footprint by adopting the scaling solution. So why would you prefer one over another? Polygon allows developers to access an assortment of modules, which can be operated to build their own blockchains that are applicable to the Proof of Stake sidechain and are able to benefit from it. The said sidechain provides a higher transaction speed and lower fees. Polygon’s Plasma framework, built onto its PoS, allows it to take in an unlimited number of DApps. However, [The Sandbox](https://changenow.io/blog/sandbox-sand-in-2021) takes a step further, creating a decentralized metaverse. It is a virtual world based on the blockchain technology that functions as a game, allowing users to create and collect blockchain-based assets. It facilitates a “play-to-earn” model, allowing users to combine two roles: a creator and a gamer. The Sandbox also favours decentralized governance, allowing its users to give input on the project’s development. With its environment friendliness and unique ability to appeal to gamers and those interested in the crypto world, The Sandbox is reaching a niche market, and you can become a part of it right now!
