(Impacts not covered will receive increased scrutiny during evaluation)
Yes it does, The Sandbox’s mission centers on decentralization, creator empowerment, and metaverse growth. Nigeria has a fast-growing creator economy, a booming developer scene, and untapped potential for virtual world adoption.
This grant taps directly into that potential by bringing Sandbox tools and infrastructure into the hands of real creators in a community that’s eager for opportunity and global exposure. With support from a tech hub here in Univerisity of Nigeria, Sandbox gets lasting impact, new creators and localized brand trust.
