The Sandbox, Nuqtah and Sandsoft Partner to Promote Web3 and Metaverse Adoption in Saudi Arabia and MENA Region
Web3 Adoption in Saudi Arabia is set to receive a significant boost following a new partnership between metaverse firm The Sandbox, mobile-first game developer Sandsoft, and MENA-based Web3 platform Nuqtah. The partnership aims to support the Web3 gaming ecosystem in Saudi Arabia, with a focus on creating gaming and Web3 experiences that align with the tastes and preferences of Saudi gamers.
Partnership to Boost Local Creators
The collaboration between The Sandbox, Sandsoft, and Nuqtah will pave the way for increased innovation and growth in the Saudi region. Sebastien Borget, the COO and co-founder of The Sandbox, expressed excitement about the partnership, stating that they aim to attract more local creators from Saudi Arabia into their user-generated content platform. Borget also mentioned that the collaboration with Nuqtah will enable Saudi creators to monetize their digital asset creations on Nuqtah’s platform.
Nuqtah to List Land and Avatars
As part of the partnership, Nuqtah will list SAND land and avatars on its NFT marketplace. The initiative will kick off with a contest for local creators early next year. Nuqtah will leverage The Sandbox’s 3D editor VoxEdit to launch a Design Contest, with winning creations set to feature on the Web3 infrastructure provider’s NFT marketplace. In a tweet, The Sandbox expressed excitement about the partnership and the upcoming VoxEdit contest, stating that the winners will have the opportunity to feature their creations on Nuqtah’s NFT marketplace.
Expanding Across Saudi Arabia and MENA
The collaboration also involves a commitment from the three platforms to work towards enabling Saudi Arabian creators to tap into The Sandbox metaverse for projects tailored for the local market. Additionally, Nuqtah is expected to list The Sandbox land and avatars on its NFT marketplace, further supporting the Web3 gaming ecosystem in the region. The Sandbox views this strategic partnership as just the beginning of further collaboration as it looks to expand across Saudi Arabia and the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
Overall, the partnership reflects the growing momentum of Web3 and metaverse adoption in Saudi Arabia and the MENA region, signaling a bright future for the development and growth of the gaming and digital asset markets in the region.
