The upcoming release of 1,500 NFT characters for the game Symbiogenesis will be minted on Arbitrum, a Layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum, starting on May 31.

In related news, The Sandbox has launched The Sandbox DAO, allowing SAND token holders and LAND NFT owners to participate in governance decisions and propose improvements.
With this strategic move to Arbitrum, Square Enix is setting a new standard for blockchain gaming, prioritizing user experience and cost efficiency. Stay tuned for the exciting release of Symbiogenesis characters on May 31.
