Support for Estate-Level LAND Transactions in The Sandbox Marketplace

💡 SIP: Ideas All Ideas
1

Background

Currently, all LAND trades are limited to single 1x1 parcels.
Estate-level sales (e.g. 12x12, 24x24) require risky external methods like OpenSea private listings.

This presents issues such as:

  • High fraud risk
  • Complexity from managing hundreds of transactions
  • Inaccurate price representation of full estates

:small_blue_diamond: Proposal
We propose adding official Estate bundle listing and transaction support within The Sandbox’s marketplace.

Suggested features:

  • Allow grouping of LANDs into estate bundles
  • Sell via one transaction to a specific wallet (private listing option)
  • Optional escrow support or fulfillment via Seaport

:small_blue_diamond: Benefits

  • Reduce friction in premium LAND sales
  • Help revive estate-level trading
  • Enhance user trust & safety in high-value transfers

Without this feature, both buyers and sellers are disadvantaged.
(And since NFT Trade IO is ending its service, there is no alternative.)

I recommended a large land purchase to an acquaintance, but there is no way to purchase it.

Couldn’t agree with this more.

That said, it seems like something they would have done if they could, so it may be useful to ask them why they haven’t done it yet.

Any feedback from @Delegates on this one? : )

Great idea. Would make onboarding easier as well.

Very good idea and long waited features of the market place. Remy former responsible of lan sales said that TSB was working on it but that was already months ago.

Yes please. Huge amount of friction dealing with more than 1x1 sizes.

I will support this SIP because it addresses key issues in The Sandbox’s LAND trading system.

even trying to buy a 2x1 or a 3x3 … this is way too hard right now. we should be making it way easier for whales who want to invest heavily.

I’d like to modify it a bit more aggressively…

DCL is really good at real estate transactions. Why isn’t our sandbox working??? Is it because we didn’t make it?

This seems like a great SIP to me, based upon community feedback, so far.

So, let’s make sure we collectively explore all angles to consider how this can achieve maximum success, @Delegates and others.

Thanks for this idea, @shont.

Any questions or additional related ideas to drive this conversation forward? :thinking:

:pushpin: Problem Summary:

The current Sandbox marketplace only allows single LAND (1x1) transactions. However, many holders and investors own LANDs in larger estate units such as 3x3, 6x6, 12x12, or 24x24.
The lack of official support for estate-level trading causes multiple issues:

:red_circle: Seller-side Problems:

  • Must list each LAND individually.
  • Risk of partial purchase, which breaks the estate’s functional value.
  • Requires off-platform communication, increasing risk of fraud.

:blue_circle: Buyer-side Problems:

  • No guarantee of acquiring the entire estate.
  • Others might front-run and break the bundle mid-process.

:green_circle: DAO Ecosystem Problem:

  • High-value LANDs remain illiquid and unused.
  • Slows down creator onboarding and platform expansion.

Key Features:

  1. :white_check_mark: Batch Listing / Bundle Transaction Support
  • Sell LANDs as a unified group, transacted in one operation.
  • Like Decentraland’s approach: treat multiple LANDs as one unit for sale.
  1. :white_check_mark: Estate Shape Presets or Manual Grouping
  • Auto-detect standard estate shapes (3x3, 6x6, etc.).
  • Manual grouping option for flexible estate configurations.
  1. :white_check_mark: Transaction Integrity & Safety
  • Use on-chain escrow or Seaport contract with batch execution.
  • Add condition: ‘All or nothing’ fulfillment logic.

If seaport has the functionality that seems like the best bet, but would highly recommend asking the team why it hasn’t been done yet. Do we have a contact from the smart contract team @theKuntaMC ?

I’m not sure! I will ask, though.

@shont Thanks for bringing this to our attention, and it is indeed a big question mark why this is not possible for years now… Bundle sales were discontinued by OS once, but it seems it’s possible again with OS2. Just not sure if there is a limitation on how many NFTs can be bundled into one sale, back then it was 20 and this would only allow S-Estates, and M-Estates already would need to be split, which is not a solution.

I truly hope TSB LAND Team can make this happen directly on their MAP frontend for users.

I think they are waiting for this.

If you ask the team, it seems like they are waiting for the integration into Layer Zero..

Interesting …
Yeah that could be it. I wonder what the development progress has been since the July post

Current Status

Asset Chain Support Use Context Status
SAND Ethereum, Polygon (BNB/Base announced) Web payments, staking, etc. Not yet live on BNB/Base
LAND Ethereum, Polygon Ownership, Marketplace ETH/Polygon only
Avatars & Items (ERC-1155) Polygon Web + Game Maker + Game Client Polygon-only (migrated end of 2024)

SAND/LAND vs. Avatar/Item NFTs

Asset Type Complexity Reason
SAND / LAND (ERC-20 / 721) Low Simple ownership/transfer, not actively referenced in real-time gameplay
Avatars / Items (ERC-1155) High Actively used in gameplay: movement, equipment, animation, power, status
→ ONFT conversion SAND/LAND can be converted via LayerZero easily
Avatars/Items require full engine-level support and syncing

Final Conclusion

  • SAND and LAND are mainly used on the web, so ONFT/LayerZero conversion is relatively easy.
  • Avatars and Items (ERC-1155) are deeply integrated with The Sandbox’s Game Maker and runtime → much harder to migrate.
  • As of now, no official support for BNB/Base or other chains for these NFTs, but technically feasible in the future.

If I think about it, distributing SAND and LAND doesn’t seem like a very difficult task.
