A Medium post announcing the new development explains how The Sandbox and the WoW Foundation will encourage more female participation through a series of interactive experiences. These will involve educating newcomers to the Web3 space, giving more visibility to women-centric causes, and giving back to charities.
Yam Karkai, Co-founder and Artist of World of Women, commented on the partnership, saying:
“We are thrilled to be teaming up with The Sandbox. With this grant, we are going to establish our mission in the metaverse, by leading and supporting women in this new space.”
As part of the collaboration with The Sandbox, World of Women will start by voxelizing all 10,000 World of Women NFTs, allowing holders to use them as avatars in The Sandbox game. Additionally, the WoW Foundation will create The WoW Museum within The Sandbox, which will showcase the foundation’s work.
World of Women was one of the first female-led $NFT projects to gain mainstream popularity. The collection of 10,000 non-fungible tokens promotes itself as a “thriving community celebrating representation, inclusivity and equal opportunities for all.” Since the collection was released in July last year, World of Women NFTs have maintained their position as a top traded collection on OpenSea, racking up a total trading volume of over 55,000 $ETH.
Last month, KPMG Canada, one of the country’s largest employers, announced it had purchased a World of Women $NFT. According to Benjie Thomas, KPMG Canada’s Managing Partner for Advisory Services, the purchase reflects the company’s belief in the continued growth of NFTs and the value of World of Women and its mission.
