CoincheckCoincheck launched Coincheck NFT (beta version), an NFT marketplace integrated with its crypto asset trading service, in March 2021, and has been strengthening collaboration with "The Sandbox" to expand awareness by selling LAND as the first step. As a second step, we will create and foster a community on LAND. NFT is highly compatible with the metaverse, and we believe that "The Sandbox", a metaverse that already incorporates NFT and blockchain, will be one of the most influential metaverses in the world.
