Metaverse coin projects partnered
FlickPlay users can now use Flicky, an anthropomorphic chameleon wearing different outfits, as an avatar in The Sandbox metaverse. Flicky is the first collection of Non Fungible Tokens (NFT) produced by FlickPlay.
FlickPlay is a Pokémon Go-type social metaverse coin project that allows users to search digital collections in the real world using an interactive map on their mobile phone and record videos with digital collections collected using augmented reality (AR).
The partnership between FlickPlay and The Sandbox brought up the concept of interoperability of different metaverse projects. The idea is based on exploring different metaverse coins with the same set of NFTs and accessories.
Flicky NFT collectibles will be unlocked for the first time by users in The Sandbox game. It will allow players to use the full version of Flicky in both games. Pierina Merino, founder and CEO of FlickPlay, believes companies will complete the interoperability feature within the year.
Sebastien Borget, co-founder of The Sandbox, said of the partnership:
The integration is noteworthy because it may be the first partnership to bridge an NFT in the virtual world with connected use to the physical world. The partnership with FlickPlay will help create a more immersive experience that spans the metaverse and The Sandbox.
According to the roadmap, the company will introduce 12,000 Flicky NFT collections. Apart from these, 200 Flickys will have special Sandbox features that provide their owners with various high-level rewards in The Sandbox Game. There are also special reward types of 0.1 ETH and above associated with Flicky’s features, customized fashion expressions, free airdrops, autographed merchandise from famous artists and athletes, access to special events and more.
