• The Sandbox (SAND) has upgraded its NFT Royalty program.
• SAND’s value could jump following the announcement.
• NuggetRush (NUGX) is gearing up for a 58.3% increase as it nears round four of its presale.

The Sandbox is looking to boost NFT activity with a new royalty program. Experts now debate the effect of the upgrades on the Sandbox (SAND) price movement.

NuggetRush (NUGX) is quickly becoming a go-to project for investors after it raised 30% interest in its ongoing presale. The project is a mining adventure set to rival The Sandbox. Which project will emerge as one of the top crypto coins? Let’s discuss.

The Sandbox upgrades its NFT royalty program

The Sandbox (SAND) is making waves within the cryptocurrency space after redesigning its NFT Royalty Programme. The new development would see a larger part of secondary royalties distributed to original creators.

This could help The Sandbox rival top DeFi projects like Decentraland, thus pushing SAND’s value up by 18.8% to $0.631.
