Several image posts on socials and community forum
Then, I would like to clarify that regarding the point “Focus on the Discord server by onboarding new users to The Sandbox, with daily moderation and weekly community prompts”, we have decided to move this task to the final milestone (and indefinitely as we plan to keep doing even after the grant ends). The initial delays caused this activity to be significantly postponed, so it will now be addressed later in the process.
Regards,
Tobik

Milestone #3 approved for 6092 USDC, accepted 5 of 5 deliverables. @Tobik please invoice per the guidance in our DM.
Milestone History for Application #20
Per Post #31, Milestones are
1. Publish 10+ pieces of original content across all platforms (mix of short-form and long-form and social media image posts). These will include:
- Deliverable accepted
- Per Post #45: SandSpark published 6 videos (see deliverable 2 & 3)
- Per Post #47: Tobik confirm these are the original content posts: 1, 2, 3, 4
2. Three gameplay tutorials videos (long videos, 3-5 mins)
- Deliverable accepted
- Per Post #45: Tobik posted tutorial video 1, 2, 3
- Videos 1 and 3 were 2:49 in length instead of the required 3 mins, but upon reviewing the video itself, it is of superior quality and accomplishes exactly what it set out to do. This is acceptable.
3. Three informative videos (short reel-kind videos), Several image posts on socials and community forum
- Deliverable accepted
- Per Post #45: Tobik posted informative video 1, 2, 3
- Superb. Absolutely awesome.
4. Focus on the Discord server by onboarding new users to The Sandbox, with daily moderation and weekly community prompts.
- Deliverable accepted
- Per Post #45: Tobik posted a link to a forum post introducing SandSpark and linking to the SandSpark Discord. The Discord does not seem active. In Post #49, Tobik gives rationale for why this is. This is acceptable given the initial delays in KYC/KYB and payment. Tobik intends to make this right in Milestone 4.
5. Track performance metrics and document user feedback for content improvement.
- Deliverable accepted
- Per Post #47: Tobik posted a link to the Google analytics and metrics.
Hey, Lanzer. Here is the response to the things that are not accepted yet.
Yes, those posts are the ones I’m referring to.
Sure. Our main idea was to accomplish this in the current milestone. Unfortunately, due to the initial delay in the start of our grant, combined with the recent discovery that everything must be completed before the 31st, we had to postpone this activity.
Nevertheless, we plan to continue our development efforts even after the grant officially ends, and we will begin this activity in the final milestone.
Sorry, our wrong. Here it is: Stats - Google Sheets
Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for your time.
Regards,
Tobik

Updated evaluation in post #46 accepting deliverable 1 & 5
There definitely was a delay, no doubt there. Completing before August 31st was always the case. I made it part of this evaluation in your post #2 under Q7 Timely and my post #3
The discord has looked inactive almost since the beginning, I’m trying to understand why that is.
Please add links to the posts that you entered the stats for. Our side is using it for the capstone event and other metrics to prove SDGP’s success
Hello, @lanzer and hello, community.
I’ve updated the doc with the new stats: Stats - Google Sheets
Regarding the Discord, you’re right — there was a mistake on our side. We got overwhelmed and should have started this much earlier, even if it meant a slight delay. To make up for it, we’ll be launching the Discord campaign in the next milestone, aligned with the timing of the giveaway campaign.
Thank you for your understanding, and as always, I appreciate your support.
Best regards,
Tobik
Also, I got aware that I should get the second milestone approved before July and the third one before 7 of July. That’s also part of my rushing.
Thanks,
Tobik

Updated evaluation in post #46 with milestones acceptance
Awesome, thanks for the explanation. Yeah those early days of SDGP were chaotic. I can understand that. 
Alrighty, I updated my evaluation in post #46 accepting the deliverable.
Got it, thanks. I’ll check with the DAO Admin on this. I haven’t heard that there is a limit on payments being paid or milestones being accepted. My understanding is that Domain Allocators can continue to accept milestones and payments, we just won’t be personally compensated after August 31st (today). Which, just to speak for myself, is okay with me

Hello, @Lanzer and the rest of the team. Here is our grant final milestone report.
- First, in regards to the previous milestone, we were able to activate the Discord server with the giveaway campaign and I could say it’s being doing good so far.
The people have been reading and performing activity there. With future giveaways and activations, I even see way more activity.
Then, here are the links for the things promised for this month.
- Two gameplay tutorials videos (long videos, 3-5mins):
- Three short videos (short reel-kind videos)
- Run one giveaway campaign or content challenge (e.g., “Best Avatar Design” or “First Gameplay Experience”) to boost participation and awareness.
The proof is available on our social media and in our Discord. You can check the #screenshot-giveaway channel where people shared tons of pictures of their best TSB moments.
The post announcing the contest is the same as the one shown on one of the videos (https://x.com/thesandspark/status/1967057269561946198/video/1) and the proof the prizes being sent is here: https://imgur.com/a/QoKB1ns). Most winners also shared their experience on X (you can check our reposts on that).
- Several image posts on socials and community forum
Example: https://x.com/thesandspark/status/1968692047784616419
Example 2: https://x.com/thesandspark/status/1965068058235400602
Example 3: https://x.com/thesandspark/status/1964343102790832469
Example 4: https://x.com/thesandspark/status/1963980480971173993
And on the forum: SandSpark: a TSB Community - #3 by Tobik
- Final performance metrics and document user feedback for content improvement.
The spreadsheet has been updated: Stats - Google Sheets
I think that would be all for us, please let us know if there is something missing. On top of that, I would like to thank Lanzer for the amazing work and support we’ve been receiving from him. This comes both from me (Tobik) and Maia. He does an amazing contribution to the ecosystem.
Regards,
Tobik

The pleasure was all mine. You and the SandSpark team were really easy to work with, and I can’t tell you how cool those videos were to watch. Super short, to the point, animations were very relevant and Maia did a superb job.
