Q1 Name of your Grant
SandSpark - Community and quality content for The Sandbox
Q2 Total Grant amount in USD ($)
$ 14 880 US$
Q3 Evaluation Factor – Specific
This grant will enable our team to build SandSpark, a high-impact content creation project designed to address two major challenges facing The Sandbox ecosystem today: Firstly, the scarcity of consistently high-quality content creators, and in second place the widespread lack of understanding among gamers and potential investors about how The Sandbox works, how to earn, and how to engage meaningfully with its economy.
Our team of six (content strategists, video editors, and a gameplay creator) will use the grant to produce an ongoing pipeline of professional, engaging, and educational content that showcases the depth and opportunities of The Sandbox.
With this grant, we will:
- Produce and publish high-quality informative content covering Sandbox news (new experiences, seasons, etc.) on YouTube, X, TikTok and Instagram.
- Create instructive gameplay videos and tutorials that guide viewers step by step through how to play The Sandbox and its different mechanics. These videos will cover everything from account setup and avatar customization to LAND navigation, asset interaction, play-to-earn mechanisms, and participation in events.
- Build and manage a Discord community. This will be a space for education, support, and interaction — hosting live Q&As, gameplay hangouts, and challenges to earn different prizes.

Q6 Evaluation Factor – Realistic
This grant will have a meaningful impact on The Sandbox ecosystem by addressing current gaps in content visibility and community cohesion with our high-quality media production and community-driven engagement.
We will focus on the following major branches of the TSB Ecosystem: People and Purpose.
People: Our project will support The Sandbox users by simplifying access to information and empowering both new and existing players. By producing easy-to-understand content — including news updates, tutorials, and gameplay’s we will help users navigate the platform, understand its potential, and participate in its social dynamics. Additionally, through our Discord hub, we’ll foster an active community space for players to connect, collaborate, and grow together.
Purpose: The Sandbox is built on the vision of user ownership, creativity, and decentralized participation. Our content demystifies the tools and opportunities of the metaverse. We will enable more people to understand how we play, earn, and contribute and in doing so, promote a culture of inclusion. SandSpark will function as a content-driven bridge between The Sandbox and a broader global audience that may not yet see the value or accessibility of Web3 gaming.
Q7 Evaluation Factor – Timely
The grant will wrap up before August 30, but we’re committed to keeping core operations going for a while to continue supporting the community. If the DAO feels good about the journey so far, we’d be excited to apply for a second grant and take SandSpark’s presence in TSB to the next level—together.
