Okay, go ahead and repost your whole grant application again in here, and make all the edits we’ve discussed so that I can evaluate it again. Make sure in the Q4 Measurable that you have the exact count of spaces you will be doing.

Please and thank you!

Nice! I think we’re very close.

Evaluated on 6/22/2025

Q1: Name of your Grant

  • Score: Remains at 4 of 5

Q2: Total Grant amount in USD ($)

  • Score: Increased from 3 to 4 of 5
  • Decision: Meets intent of the question. No additional input required.
  • Rationale: Amount is justified.

Q3: Evaluation Factor – Specific

  • Score: Remains at 4 of 5

Q4: Evaluation Factor – Measurable

  • Score: Remains at 4 of 5
  • Decision: Meets intent of the question. Additional input required.
  • Rationale: For MS#1, You have “Launch 2 weekly live spaces introducing The Sandbox basics” in the description and “Live session links (2 total)” in the “Completion Proof” section. That reads odd to me. You’re doing 2 per week, and your completion proof is 2 total? Wouldn’t your completion proof be far more than 2 total?
  • MS#2 has “Host 4 bi-weekly live spaces with creators & Q&A”. I’m losing track of the math here. 2 weekly lives for MS#1 and 4 bi-weekly live in MS#2…??? Make sure your “Completed proof” matches the description of what you are delivering.
  • In conclusion it says “Launch 8 live spaces and 1 Final Mega Space to Round it all up.” Need clarity please on how this maths with MS#1 & 2.
  • MS#4, add under “Compelted Proof” a post here in this thread summarizing and linking everything please.

Q5: Evaluation Factor – Accountable

  • Score: Remains at 4 of 5

I saw your posts on X. Looks really good! A few things I’d like to see going forward so that I can keep track of everything going on

  1. Can you please amend your plan to include coordinating with @theSandboxDAO instead of Kunta directly. Tag the DAO instead of Kunta in your posts

  2. Please make two reply posts to this one, and I want you to edit them instead of making new reply posts please, similar to what you did for your application

The first one I want you to link all of the X posts that are scheduling the space by you and the two other people you’ve identified in your Grant. Posts like this one that Captainweb posted

The second one I want you to only post the X spaces links that you actually host so that I can listen to them, and also the actual YouTube videos and medium articles you write. Just edit and add links as you do them please

  1. When you believe you’ve successfully completed a milestone, I want you to post a separate reply with your statement that the milestone is complete and link or attach all the evidence please so that I have I’ve place to review them

There’s going to be some repeated things you post, that’s okay. If you separate them like I described then I think it’ll work out okay.

Thoughts?

Concerning the space, Captainweb we be the host, i and kunms we be the cohost, i we copy all links, documents and every evidence in one track for easy access.

Concerning the reply post, X have limit of 1 hour edit, after 1 hour we can’t edit again unlike here that i can edit any time i want, that we be hard to do. I think we will be find another way concerning that to be more precise on whatever we want to post.

The video uploading to YouTube is in milestone 2, we will do that when we reach there and should i include medium articles into my milestone?

I we only tag the DAO account because i remembered that you said no one in the team is help us, we should deliver everything by ourselves, i understand that and i have pass the information to my team member

I mean post all the links in here. I didn’t mean edit the X posts

Have 1 post be for all the X spaces and YouTube videos and articles you publish.

Have another post be for all the advertising and marketing posts you make

Put both of those posts here in this thread, and edit the thread to add more links as you do them

Make sense?

Okay, and final thing. When you are ready to request a milestone payment, make a separate reply here in this thread, and please list, link, and attach screenshots of all the evidence and deliverables required, regardless of whether they are also linked in the 2 posts we just were discussing.

Make sense?

Thanks

@Goldenson , thanks for putting in the effort you did to complete Milestone 1. Questions are below.

What exactly did you optimize? I don’t see anything sandbox on any of them. Your X account labels yourself as a shiller…?

I think we’re going to need to talk about your X spaces. It looks like there were 5 people on your first space (I X’d myself out as I wasn’t there but it shows me when I listen to the recording). Of those 5, VictoWrite is another grant author, Captainweb and you were supposed to be there. The only new faces I see are Ismart and Chuks.

I don’t see a second X space besides the “Get in to know more about @TheSandboxGame”, can you link me the second space please.

When your grant was approved to host X Spaces, it was to onboard African communities, bring creators from Roblox, Minecraft, and web2 communities, increase user retention, bring in more creators.

Your full response to Q6 Realistic is here

Q6: Evaluation Factor – Realistic
This plan is achievable within the revised timeline (June–August 30) and tailored to deliver meaningful impact in The Sandbox ecosystem.

Key Rationale:
■ Onboarding African Communities.
■ We’re focusing on Web2-to-Web3 onboarding, bringing creators and gamers from Roblox, Minecraft, and general Web2 communities into The Sandbox.
■ Content is designed to simplify The Sandbox tools, increasing comfort and retention for first-time users.
■ Interactive and gamified engagement strategies are proven in past community growth initiatives we’ve led.
■This grant enables us to scale our efforts with live interactions, and storytelling – all aligned with The Sandbox’s vision of decentralized, community-powered growth.

Expected Impact:
● Increased user retention from onboarding
● Stronger semi-global presence (African Community)
● More creators building with Sandbox tools after engagement

How did this X space do that?

Responses: 73

I’m confused about what I’m seeing here in this picture. Can you link me the survey please? Where can I see the 73 responses?

Question 1
Have labeled myself to me part of the Sandbox

Question 2
I only hosted 1 space and more than 80 people tuned in, When you are checking, it only brings out The Host and the Speakers and thats what X do whenever anyone host a space

And secondly, concerning the space hosting, can i change some things in my proposal?

  1. Removing Roblox and Minecraft from my outreach and includes Algorand Community into it
  2. Can i remove space hosting and focus more on creating contents? Seems that’s what my community love most.
    Recently. There’s network failure in Nigeria which stop Kunms ( one of my team) ftom joining the space.
    If i focus on Making content. I believe it we be more better than space.

@Goldenson

I went back through my post and bolded the questions for your reference. Here they are below with your answers.

  • I asked: What exactly did you optimize? I don’t see anything sandbox on any of them. Your X account labels yourself as a shiller…?

    • You answered “Have labeled myself as part of the Sandbox,” and I see on your X profile that you removed the “shiller” reference and on your X, YouTube, TikTok channels you added “I am a Sandbox creator”.
    • I’d still like to know. When you submitted for your milestone approval you said you had optimized, what optimizing did you do? Why did your X account label yourself as a shiller?
  • I asked How did this X space do that? when comparing how your first X Space went.

    • You showed me the screenshot with 82 people tuning in. Were 82 people there live in the Space with you? I searched Google for what “tuned in” means and some websites talk about how many people were there live, and others report that it’s something different from that. Grok says
Grok answer to the question

The “tuned in” number on X Spaces is meant to show the number of live listeners in a Space at a given time. However, discrepancies can occur for a few reasons:
Technical Glitches or Delays: The platform may not always update the listener count in real-time due to caching or network issues, leading to an inaccurate display. This can happen if the app or server is slow to refresh the count.

Bots or Inactive Accounts: Some accounts may join a Space but not actively listen (e.g., bots or users who join and leave quickly). These may still be counted in the “tuned in” number if the system doesn’t immediately register their departure.

Anonymous Listeners: Listeners can join via direct links without logging in, and these users might not be fully reflected in the visible participant list but could contribute to the “tuned in” count.

Platform Errors: As noted in some X posts, the platform sometimes struggles to accurately distinguish between live listeners, total views, or impressions, which can inflate the “tuned in” number. For example, impressions (how many times the Space appeared in feeds) might be mistakenly displayed instead of concurrent listeners.

If you noticed only a few active participants but a high “tuned in” number, it’s likely a combination of these factors. X Spaces analytics can also be reviewed post-session to get a clearer picture of live listeners versus replays, which might help clarify engagement. Always treat such metrics with skepticism, as platform inaccuracies are common.

  • I asked Can you link me the survey please? Where can I see the 73 responses? Please provide that when you can.

  • I asked if you could please show me the feedback you were referencing when you said “Feedback from new users suggests strong interest in game asset creation and monetization strategies.” Please help me see this when you can please.

And secondly, concerning the space hosting, can i change some things in my proposal?

  1. Removing Roblox and Minecraft from my outreach and includes Algorand Community into it
  2. Can i remove space hosting and focus more on creating contents? Seems that’s what my community love most.
    Recently. There’s network failure in Nigeria which stop Kunms ( one of my team) ftom joining the space.
    If i focus on Making content. I believe it we be more better than space.
    1. I’m a bit confused about this. What is causing you to want to change from Roblox & Minecraft to Alorgand? Why Algorand?
    1. No, I already approved the max number of grants for content creators in the West African Region. I approved your grant because it was focused on something different from what I had already approved. What is causing you to want to change what you had applied for in your grant?

Here is the link to the response

Note: The response am taking about is from the space.
Only 8 people fill this survey form and give there feed back there. You may not be able to access the link, i guess
Kindly please send me your email address so that i can forward the link there.

About the space, i said it earlier that network is the main problem here that hinder people from joining the space, most people are rugging, ThekuntaMC is there throughout the space, he can also testify to it. Both people on the space live and after the space ended is more than 80 (Tuned in)
More than 20 people are there live with us when hosting the space, some people later came into my dm asking for guidelines on how to participate in the space







Here is part of the onboarding process.

Kindly provide me your email address so that i can send the link to the feedback, space reviews.

I think I misunderstood. What was the “73 responses” that you cited in this post?

Can you help me understand please…so 20 people were there live in the space with you and but 80 people total were tuned in outside of the space? And you know this because people were reaching out to you via WhatsApp while the space was occurring live. Do I have that correct?

Here is part of the onboarding process.

Okay, that helps. :slight_smile:

Kindly provide me your email address so that i can send the link to the feedback, space reviews.

Just please keep everything in here and viewable by everyone here in public. That way we can be transparent.
