Q6 Evaluation Factor –

This grant supports a writing-focused project aimed at making Web3 and Sandbox easier to understand through clear, useful content. It helps me remove basic tech limitations so I can work consistently and publish writing that supports both new users and active builders.

The goal is to create a steady stream of content that’s honest, helpful, and community-driven, using writing to share knowledge, highlight others, and contribute to a more open ecosystem.

Q7 Evaluation Factor –

This grant will fund the development of a consistent, writing-focused content pipeline aimed at educating and connecting users in the Web3 ecosystem. The project is structured to deliver clear outcomes within a short timeline while laying the groundwork for long-term sustainability.

Timeline Overview (July 8 – August 1):

Early Phase (July 8 – July 14):

  • Purchase core writing tools (laptop, software, storage).
  • Set up a focused workspace and writing workflow.
  • Publish a public content roadmap.
  • Release three initial pieces: one long-form blog post and two short-form threads.
    *(Milestone 1 – Setup & Rollout)

**Middle Phase (July 15 – July 28):

  • Publish at least 10–12 original educational or community-focused content pieces.
  • Engage with readers and gather feedback via replies, DMs, and comments.
  • Monitor performance through metrics such as reach, engagement, and shares.
    *(Milestone 2 – Consistent Content Delivery)

**Final Phase (July 29 – August 1):

  • Host two content-based collaborations or writing challenges with community members or small teams.
  • Document participant involvement and overall reach.
  • Submit a final report detailing all content delivered, engagement metrics, collaboration results, and key takeaways.

*(Milestone 3 – Community Campaigns & Impact)

With the right tools and setup in place, I’ll be able to keep writing consistently even after the grant ends. I will continue sharing useful content, take on freelance writing work, and collaborate with more teams across Web3 and the Sandbox DAO. The goal is to build something sustainable, a writing workflow that keeps growing through clear output, real impact, and creative independence.

Q8 Evaluation Factor – Grant Recipient

  • Score: 3 of 5
  • Decision: Meets intent of the question. No additional input needed.
  • Rationale: Provided 2 forms of contact.
  • From Grok: @chuks_dandison , a Nigerian crypto enthusiast and content creator, champions seamless fiat-to-crypto onboarding and community-driven Web3 projects like $SHOUT, believing in accessible, decentralized innovation.Chuks is hyping $EZA and $BANE on @shoutdotfun , urging fans to yap loud and climb the leaderboard for crypto rewards! @chuks_dandison’s recent posts are a high-energy, community-focused push to promote $SHOUT and other tokens ($EZA, $BANE, $ONION) via @shoutdotfun. They leverage motivational language, gamification, and repetitive posting to drive engagement, aligning with their role as a crypto enthusiast advocating for Web3 innovation. However, the aggressive promotion and lack of detailed project insights warrant caution, as unchecked hype can lead to risks for followers. Their strategy is effective for building excitement but could benefit from more transparency to sustain long-term trust.

Q6 Evaluation Factor

This grant will help me produce a series of video tutorials designed to help users across Africa learn how to use VoxEdit. These tutorials will focus more on guiding beginners and intermediate users through essential features, tools, and creative techniques in VoxEdit. These tutorials will help empower African creators to participate in the growing digital and Web3 economy.

I chose to create video tutorials because many beginners find VoxEdit intimidating due to its interface or lack of voxel art experience. With these tutorials, users will be able to create assets to sell on the Sandbox marketplace, earning SAND tokens.

Q8

I received an automated message that my post #39 was hidden by community flags, so I created a new one, which is currently #36 and I am no longer making use of #39. Thank you

learn how to use VoxEdit

I won’t be able to approve any tutorials, walkthroughs, or blog posts, article writing, or video posts. There are many grants that cover this and material already available covering these things.

Are there other ideas that come to mind?

Q6 Evaluation Factor

This grant will help me create a collection of VoxEdit assets like characters, properties, furniture, and terrain, that other creators, especially beginners in Africa, can use in their own Sandbox experiences. These assets will be shared through The Sandbox marketplace and also within the DAO, so they’re easy for people to access and build with.

A lot of new creators want to get involved, but VoxEdit can feel overwhelming at first, especially if you’ve never worked with voxel art before. Instead of making tutorials, I want to give people something they can actually use, ready-made assets they can learn from by playing with them, or just plug straight into their own projects.

Where I can, I’ll include themes and elements that reflect African culture and everyday life, so the assets feel more relatable and inspire people to tell their own stories. The goal is to make it easier for more people to start creating, and hopefully, earning, in The Sandbox

That could work!

Please submit this to The Sandbox DAO Grant Program > OPEN: Season Rewards & Game Creation

@KamiSawZe is the Domain Allocator for that and has a much bigger budget than I do. I believe he is still looking for projects to approve

Does that mean I have to rewrite the grant entirely again..?

You’ll need to submit it in accordance with Kami’s format, yes. Some parts of what I asked for is reusable in his form.
