Although both SAND and ETH are built on the Ethereum blockchain, they are very different and have very different functionalities. Ethereum (ETH) uses the Ether native token to operate decentralized apps (Dapps). ETH can help build Dapps for various purposes without requiring a centralized party to keep things running. In contrast, The Sandbox (SAND) is a blockchain-based virtual reality environment where you can use SAND tokens to play games, communicate with people, and earn NFTs you can sell or promote.
