The Sandbox, a virtual gaming world, has announced the introduction of $SAND staking on Polygon. This new staking system is compatible with the $SAND token alone.
It will not require that users pair their $SAND with other tokens to stake it. It is also important to note that users do not worry about gas fees when staking.
We are introducing a new staking mechanism that works ONLY with $SAND…
🔹 Open to ALL – on @0xPolygon

What to Know about the New Staking Mechanism
$SAND token holders can now directly stake their mSAND tokens without any addition or pairing with another token. Suffice to mention that the program is open to every gamer on Polygon Network. The new staking mechanism supports gasless transactions using Biconomy.
The Sandbox has also introduced a rewarding system to encourage the adoption of this system. For the first four weeks of the launch, about 500,000 mSAND will be available as rewards each week. Users can only claim their mSAND rewards once every week.
The staking program has opened on February 11 at 8:00 pm UTC, and the rewards will start on the same date but at 9:00 pm UTC. The Sandbox will release new announcements on the mSAND staking subsequently.
