# 💡What is LAND

A LAND is a digital piece of real-estate in The Sandbox's metaverse. Game designers use LAND to build digital experiences, such as games or dioramas, and also populate it with ASSETs.

Each LAND is a unique, non-fungible ERC-721 token on the Ethereum blockchain. A total of 166,464 LANDs will be available.

Multiple LANDs can be combined to form ESTATEs. A special type of ESTATE owned by more than one person is called a DISTRICT.

LANDs can be accessed through a virtual map on The Sandbox's official website.

The proximity of LANDs to large partners and other key positions will play a role in the gameplay, visitor counts, economy and visibility of the games built on those LANDs. 

It will also be possible to rent LAND to game creators. Game creators will also be able to collaborate with other creators or voxel artists to build a great experience on that LAND.

LAND can also be combined into larger ESTATEs or DISTRICTs, as long as they are adjacent. Alternatively, ESTATEs can be split into smaller LANDs.
