Speaker 2
Yes, i very excited to talk about sandbox, because i know that you've been at this for a very long time. And do you wonder this quickly? Wt, give us the background of what you've done over the last few years and where you are to day.
Speaker 1
Sure, sure. So i've been myself a serial ntropner for close to fourteen years now. Is my business backner atmadre, together with cofonded four companies. Three of them have been qire. We started in two thousand seven in space, always being pioneers in technology, new technology. The first company was using bitorrant a, piatupia protocl to enable videon deman donlos for catchvid, et cetera. We saw that company toaen network. Then we were one of the first into the unline. Mejust torage for your photo vido and music and streaming to your friends before the cloud was even called cloud. Or tefor portifi or net flakes. Saw the company again two thousand eleven, we were one of the first mobile free to play a game studio that was working witi pies and brands was doing usse. And that company was acquired two thousand eighteen by animo ca. Brands, parron company. No of sandbox and a suched sand boxits a ipe, thats over a dgade old started on i west and under wi. As the game were s could turn any player into a crater by essentially allowing them to cradle too deep. Lecelwar, where you drop a wanderr saw elements, characters, enemies with a touch of your finger on the screen, and you could share that creation on line. But with all, it had a huge success, like over fourteen million installs. But that game had one flaw in the way, lit with all the content that crater made, more than seventy million crate and millions of active uters contributed massively to the success of the game. And we had literally no way to reward those craters. So at the end of two thousand seventeen, when we saw tokites and crypto panks and ftis, one of first an eftis appearing, rather than applying it to vitural cats, we thought, why don't we enable our craters any one anetand use thatto reward the creator to the creation? That's how the sun box, as you know it now, as a freelevof tra word with a a mercy player, mercy platform and a use blockchan and anet was born and has reached the state where it is now to day,
