Hydrapad Grant Application for The Sandbox Ecosystem
TL;DR: We have previously applied for a grants via web3 integration. And was rejected.
Previous Application: Grants Application for Hydrapad - Revolutionizing web3 ecosystem - #5 by yuelwolf
Reasoning: System is too complicated and not user friendly enough, Plus the budget is too high. So we have cut a lot of edges and made the application simplified. Also instead of Web3 integration, We are applying for Community growth, As we are in test phase of our application, Where over 500+ users have taken part in testing phase.
So we are concentrating on new user onboarding to Sandbox ecosystem with Onchain KPI validation, Creating an app that is already has proven success rate & popular in the market, with SAND backed instant Token + Presale creation with live trading. and demand in the market. Sandbox promotion via twitter spaces once a week.
