# The Sandbox LAND prices — the index entry

The Sandbox LAND floor history, the deepest drawdown of the major worlds, and what the partner-estate model did to the price structure.

The deepest drawdown of the major worlds — down roughly 95% — and the clearest case study in what happens when land supply is sold faster than population arrives.

The Sandbox LAND has fallen roughly 95% from an average near 2.86 ETH in 2021 to about 0.13 ETH. The cause is structural rather than sentimental: a very large parcel supply was sold during the peak against a population that never scaled to match it.

## The supply lesson

### What went wrong

The Sandbox sold land aggressively during the peak, in partnership with recognisable brands, and each sale was reported as validation. Every parcel sold was also a parcel added to future supply. When the incoming brand cohort stopped, the market was left holding an inventory sized for a population that never came.

This is not a criticism of the model — pre-selling land is a reasonable way to fund a world. It is an observation that land supply is a decision the platform makes and the buyer bears .

### What to check before buying land in any world

- Total parcels minted versus daily actives. If the ratio is worse than one parcel per daily user, most land will never see a visitor.
- Remaining unsold supply. Land the platform still holds is an overhang whatever the current floor says.
- Who bought last time. If the previous cohort was brands running campaigns rather than operators running businesses, they will not renew.
