Practical overview

When it fits

Use the repository when your task is to inspect or develop against The Sandbox's contract code and you can work in its Node.js, Yarn and Nx-based workspace.

Who it is for

  • Developers exploring or adapting contracts for blockchain assets in creator-focused games.
  • Teams building integrations around The Sandbox token contracts or on-chain assets in a user-generated-content gaming experience.

Documented uses

  • Review the contract packages underpinning The Sandbox.
  • Use the repository's Hardhat example as a starting point for smart-contract development.
  • Inspect workspace dependencies using the Nx graph command.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

The repository is public and identifies the monorepo license as MIT; individual packages may have their own licenses.

  • The README specifies Node.js 18.x and lists Yarn and Python as prerequisites.
  • Nx is the workspace build system; the README documents nx graph for viewing project dependencies.
  • The repository includes package targets for tests, coverage, linting and formatting, and notes that new-package deployment is handled through the deploy package, except for core.
  • The monorepo is MIT-licensed, but package-level licenses can differ.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.
