The Sandbox Pays Tribute to the fallen heroes of 9/11
The character NFTs up for purchase are Brenda, Josefina, Carlo and Danny. So the naming convention alone humanizes this event. Each NFT costs $4,000 SAND and there will only be 25 of each Legendary Hero, so a hundred in total. The net proceeds from the sale will go towards the 9/11 Day charity.
According to The Sandbox team, “The Heroes of 9/11 epitomized the highest and most altruistic aspects of humanity. These four characters are The Sandbox’s representation of the heroism shown on that fateful day.”
- EMT Josefina — efficiency, sincerity, and knowledge
- Fire Captain Brenda — Courage, determination and generosity
- Firefighter Danny — endurance, strength, and sacrifice
- Paramedic Carlo — empathy, intellect, and healing
