The Sandbox has been working with the crypto exchange Coincheck since September of 2020, aiming to introduce the Japanese audience to the metaverse innovations and blockchain technologies.

Likewise, the partnership marked the launch of LAND, or digital real-estate on the Sandbox, which was sold on the Coincheck marketplace. 

The Executive Director of Coincheck Kensuke Amo spoke about the upcoming project, hoping the metaverse will become one of the "leading virtual worlds globally." He added:

"We are committed to helping artists and companies connect with their fans and build communities in the metaverse."

While there is no set date for its release, the Oasis TOKYO metaverse project is expected to launch sometime in the spring of 2022.
