Sandbox Web Builder for Landowners and Creators

  1. Project Overview

We propose the development of an advanced and powerful, browser-based 3D world builder for Sandbox landowners and creators, powered by OZONE Technologies. This tool will enable seamless land management, asset integration, $SAND token utility, and optimized publishing—entirely within a native web interface that is compatible and export to the Sandbox platform.

  1. Problem Identification

Today, tools to build on Sandbox require significant technical skills and downloadable workflow. Other tools enable basic block composition but do not have the full Assets marketplace integration or provide utility to the 6M + assets on Open Sea and the plethora of NFTs available in the ecosystem.

  1. Solution Approach

The Sandbox Advanced Web Builder will be fully integrated with Sandbox Ecosystem unlocking a new level of UGC and utility for assets and $SAND currency.

  • Frictionless Access: Create custom 3D environments instantly in the browser—no software download required.
  • Land Integration: Auto-detect wallet-linked land size, type, and metadata.
  • Asset Economy: Browse Sandbox-compatible assets, including full OpenSea integration for instant use and purchase using $SAND to buy assets.
  • Performance Guardrails: Live feedback on tri counts, file sizes, and memory footprint to ensure Sandbox compatibility and high performance.
  • Workflow Continuity: Export-ready packages compatible with the Sandbox Game Maker to add gaming functionality easily after all the world building is done on the web in minutes.
  • Instant Previews in the browser → see and explore how your world will look and feel via instant walkthroughs
  1. Impact Measurement

We will evaluate success based on how many users are creating accounts, new wallets creations joining the Sandbox ecosystem, number of worlds built, and NFTs utility. Ultimately leading to user retention and expansion of the user base

  1. Technical Implementation & Timeline

Phase 1: Establish URL domain (ex: sandboxwebbuilder.com) with initial landing page, user registration and login system with wallet connection fetching $SAND balance and Sandbox NFTS. (20%)

Phase 2: Enable users to start a project and Establish 3D Engine Rendering and build an environment with preset assets library and blocks that saves user scene composition in user account. (20%)

Phase 3: Enable users to compose worlds with a mix of assets, blocks, and NFTs from Wallet to save to user account (20%)

Phase 4: Build Export Pipeline to Unity compatible file format that users can submit to SANDBOX (20%)

Phase5: Marketplace development: ability of users to buy assets with $SAND and Open Sea collections Utility: Ability to browse, buy, and use Assets from Open Sea directly into the Web builder through Wallet connectivity (subject to Open Sea Capabilities) (20%)

hello @Money and @seb_sandbox : thank you for the review and guidance. Sorry was traveling for several weeks and a bit offline.

We added the details for the 16 weeks timeline with details on deliverables, utility and cost breakdown.

Thank you for your support!

This far exceeds the amount available to the entire domain and we are unable to move forward with this application.

hi Money,

could you share the kind of budgets that could work?

We only look to cover some of the development costs.

@seb_sandbox + @Money : lets find a path to. make this happen.
We are not doing this for profits only but rather to enable and empower community.

What is a sensible budget we can commit to on both sides?

Hi, thanks for reaching out. This domain was for small grants and has ended its first cycle and is closed.

I would recommend putting it forward as a SIP for the amount of funding you are looking for and moving that direction.

Got it Money!

Thank you for this and will be getting that submission as a SIP soon.

hi @Money + @seb_sandbox :

new SIP has been submitted: Sandbox online web builder

Will add a short video demo link next few days to promote it and give visual context to all.

Looking fwd to making it happen for Sandbox.
