G-Shock Enters The Metaverse
In an August 12 blog post, the Sandbox NFT team confirmed that they have partnered with Casio to launch the virtual G-Shock non-fungible token avatars collection in the Metaverse.

The electronics company is known for producing a wide range of products, including timepieces, musical instruments, calculators, and electronic devices. Casio is recognized for its innovative and durable watches, such as the G-shock watch series, and its massive contribution to the development of the first compact all-electric calculator.

In the meantime, the sandbox NFT team has launched the allowlist for the G-shock Droid non-fungible token avatar collection.
