Oasis TOKYO will offer experts and users from these fields a forum to connect amongst themselves as a community platform.
The Sandbox has been heading the metaverse and NFT activities in Japan since 2020. It partnered with Coincheck in the same year, and both companies have worked jointly by selling LAND through the Coincheck NFT beta version, which is most important for launching games in the Sandbox.
