Sandbox is one of the flagship products of the segment. At its core, it is a strategy based on buying/selling land plots of in-game metaverses as non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
Star Atlas is an MMORPG based on space exploration. The game is developed on top of the Solana (SOL) blockchain, one of the most popular smart contracts platforms in 2021. Star Atlas tokenomics has two tokens: ATLAS and POLIS.
Axie Infinity, an Ethereum-based GameFi ecosystem, allows its players to collect fantasy creatures known as Axies. Axie's dual tokenomic design also leverages two tokens, AXS and SLP.
Vladislav SopovMagic Craft is a BSC-based war-themed on-chain MMORPG. Seven powerful castles compete in various challenges, P2P battle and tournaments. Winners are rewarded with MCRT tokens.

All trades are carried out through TSX, the core native utility token of the platform that is issued on Ethereum (ETH) blockchain. Also, traders can compete against each other in Fantasy Sports.
Fantasy Stocks are minted as F-NFTs (Fractional-NFTs) on Ethereum, and can be purchased and sold back via smart contracts. Through the F-NFT implementation, TradeStars issues a fixed amount of Stocks for each athlete and creates a NFT Market, instead of representing each athlete by a single token.
To accomplish unmatched speed and scalability, TradeStars has integrated Polygon Network (MATIC), the cheapest and fastest EVM-compatible solution.
