Some of these things should be expanded upon in Q6 Realistic, such as “Begin creating honorary 1/1 NFTs for key Sandbox ecosystem leaders.” This makes the impact much more realistic. I recommend you don’t just focus on the leaders, as they don’t need the engagement as much as the everyday Sandbox DAO user does.

Q2: Total Grant amount in USD ($)

4000

Q3: Evaluation Factor – Specific

The Specific Outcomes Will Include

1. Launch a free mint of 2500 dynamic Genesis NFT collection that features real-world fitness and cultural engagement
This NFT collection will introduce a new utility layer to the Sandbox DAO by bridging digital assets with real-world experiences, increasing community diversity and use cases within the ecosystem.

This will expand the DAO’s reward infrastructure, offering tangible incentives for physical and cultural activity, which aligns with DAO principles of value creation and community contribution.

4. Partner with cultural or fitness events programs
These partnerships will extend the reach of the Sandbox DAO into offline communities, enhancing its brand visibility, attracting new participants, and supporting the DAO’s mission to blend digital and real-world experiences.

5. Achieve 100+ active users, 80% engagement and 20+ daily verifiable lifestyle interactions within 4 months
Meeting these metrics will validate the model’s viability within the Sandbox DAO, providing a framework for future initiatives and serving as a proof-of-concept for scaling DAO-driven lifestyle platforms.

Q6: Evaluation Factor – Realistic

This project aims to drive impact in three key areas of the Sandbox ecosystem: user onboarding, NFT utility, and community governance.

  1. User Onboarding through Real-World Engagement
    By minting 2,500 Genesis NFTs tied to real-world actions (fitness, culture, events), we will attract new users to Sandbox, offering them seamless entry through earned NFTs that unlock in-game perks like exclusive wearables and experiences.

  2. NFT Utility: Perks and Wearables
    NFTs will evolve based on daily real-world activity, unlocking wearables and exclusive perks within Sandbox (e.g., custom avatar skins, T-shirts, caps, wrist bands and access to private events). We also have plans to create honorary 1/1 NFTs for key Sandbox ecosystem leaders and prep assets for potential use as wearables or avatars.

  3. Daily Interaction with Sandbox
    The MVP will drive daily interaction by linking real-world activities (logged via the app) to in-Sandbox rewards. Activities like attending cultural events or fitness challenges will upgrade NFTs and unlock virtual rewards, creating a continuous loop of engagement between the physical and virtual worlds.

  4. Community Governance
    Users will be able to shape the future of Sandbox by participating in the DAO, influencing decisions on new wearables, in-game experiences, and how lifestyle data integrates with the Sandbox platform.

To successfully deliver these outcomes, including development, smart contracts, NFT design, and DAO formation. We propose an updated grant of $4,000. This will ensure high quality execution and a measurable impact on the Sandbox ecosystem, enhancing user engagement and expanding the platform’s utility.

@Blue …I’m a little confused. Did you resubmit answers to all 8 questions for a reason? I only needed you to provide additional input to Q6 Realistic

Also, you put your phone number in your latest response. Up to you, but I recommend removing due to all of this being public to the internet.

Good morning, Sir Lanzer,

I hope you’re well.

I was under the impression that we were required to resubmit the proposal with additional input addressing the areas you had previously highlighted as needing more relevance to the Sandbox ecosystem.

I truly didn’t intend to make your work more tedious, and I’ll make sure not to repeat the mistake going forward.

Could you kindly advise on how I can take down the number after it has already been posted on the forum? I’ll take immediate action as soon as I hear from you.

Have a Good day,
@Blue

Just click the “pencil” icon at the end of your response, then remove the number and click submit.

Q6: Evaluation Factor – Realistic

  • Score 30-May-25: Stayed the same at 3 of 5
  • Decision: Meets the intent of the question. Additional inputs needed.
  • Rationale: I’m not sure you fully answered the additional input needed in my 16-May-25 evaluation. For #1 in your response, please define how “seamless entry” works. I don’t get how your Genesis NFTs connects to TSB DAO or ecosystem. For #2, how many Sandbox assets will you be creating? Why are you creating 1/1s for Sandbox leaders? For #3, please spell out how “will upgrade NFTs and unlock virtual rewards” works for Sandbox assets. What does the journey for the end user look like here? For #4, I’m confused about this. How will your project enable your users to participate in the DAO, influence decision on new wearables, and affect in-game experiences? How does the lifestyle data integrate with the Sandbox platform?

Good morning, Sir Lanzer,

About removing my number, I haven’t been able to edit the message, maybe because the message has already past the time for editing. So I will leave it for transparency sake. Thank you for understanding.

1. “Seamless Entry” & Genesis NFTs → Sandbox Ecosystem Integration

By “seamless entry,” i mean simplifying the onboarding experience for non-crypto-native users. Our Genesis NFTs are created to promote real-world activities (e.g., participating in fitness or cultural events), these NFTs are unique in their rarities and features. These NFTs act as proof-of-participation, helping new users engage with The Sandbox DAO, own usable digital assets, and become part of the ecosystem organically. Our goal is to grow the Sandbox user base by making NFT ownership the result of real-life engagement rather than speculation or purchase.

2. NFT Utility: Wearables, Perks & 1/1s

We plan to create a collection of about 100 wearables ranging from (T-shirts, caps, wristbands, avatar accessories) of which will be given out in real life events.
1/1 Honorary NFTs: These are tributes to key Sandbox leaders, serving as both community recognition and potential collectibles. They will also function as limited-edition avatars or exclusive wearables if those leaders opt in.

3. How NFTs Upgrade & Unlock Virtual Reward

The user journey is core to engagement. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: User participates in a real-world event (e.g., fitness challenge or cultural meetup).
Step 2: Their Genesis NFT updates with metadata
Step 3: Based on the update, the new in-Sandbox perks unlocks a new wearable (e.g., limited edition running shoes), avatar emote, or access to an exclusive event in Sandbox.
All upgrades are gamified and visible on-chain via dynamic NFT standards like ERC-721 with evolving traits. This creates an ongoing bridge between lifestyle and metaverse.
The Journey/goal for the End User is to create a model that follows the BAYC NFTs, where genesis NFTs can be upgraded into MAYC. This is just an instance, but I plan to integrate this feature.

4. Community Governance:

DAO Participation & Data Integration
Users will be onboarded into a progressive governance model that starts with lightweight participation:
Voting on which wearables get released next.
Choosing which cultural events are rewarded in-game.
Influencing seasonal themes or partner collaborations within Sandbox.

Thanks. I’m thinking about this pretty hard. I’m not sure how realistic this is to our ecosystem.

Do you have an example of this app already working, or are you waiting to develop it if funded?

Thank you for asking this, it’s a very fair and important question.

To be transparent, the app is not yet live, and development is key with funding. However, we’ve already mapped out the Art design and project concept. And to bring this idea to users, we require the necessary funding, and support we can get.
I also believe this solves a real problem in Sandbox ecosystem: most new users don’t enter the metaverse through play or creativity, they enter through curiosity, real-world identity, and social moments. Our approach turns those moments into an onboarding gateway, a gentle bridge into a deeper world
We’re fully committed to Sandbox’s mission of empowering communities and creators. But we are not only building for creators already in the metaverse, we’re building for the millions who haven’t yet found a reason to care, until now.

I have been doing some research and I found out that Sandbox ecosystem has done a lot of collaborations with some brands that are into events, music, and even fashion. These Social moments were seen during the NFCSummit in Lisbon that expressed art, culture and music.
