Business-activity disclosure
The Sandbox provides a creator and gaming metaverse with SAND transactions, LAND, NFTs, experiences, governance and staking programs. Game content can be permissible or impermissible depending on implementation, while staking, prize/raffle mechanics and virtual-land speculation require school-specific review.
Limitation: No issuer revenue, balance sheet or universal prohibited-activity numerator exists, so company-style quantitative screens cannot be applied.
Purification
No issuer income stream exists for a standardized purification calculation; game, marketplace, staking and reward activity require a qualified scholar's treatment.
Inputs, assumptions and primary sources
- SAND is the utility and governance token of a decentralized game and metaverse ecosystem, not an operating company or fund with issuer financial statements.
- The Sandbox documents SAND as a medium of exchange for avatars, LAND, assets and experiences, with governance, liquidity/staking programs, play-and-earn contests and raffles; virtual-land and game-content use require qualitative review.
- Debt, liquidity, receivables and income ratios are not economically applicable; placeholder inputs exist only for the shared record schema and are not a financial classification.
This is a reproducible financial screen, not a fatwa. A failed total-assets screen can coexist with a pass under a market-cap methodology. ZakatInvest keeps the qualitative assessment separate so numerical thresholds do not erase material context.
