Hey everyone,
We’re proud to announce that WakeUp Labs has completed Milestone #4, marking the final phase of the UGC Platform funded through SIP-19. Check out the video presentation.
After a few months of design, development, testing, and iteration, the platform is now live (https://www.ugcplatform.xyz/) and ready to serve creators and players across The Sandbox ecosystem.
This milestone focused on production deployment, cross-device testing, creator onboarding, and final documentation. It also included building the sponsorship middleware, tuning our AI search engine, and running internal QA to ensure a stable experience.
More importantly, this moment marks the culmination of everything we’ve built together throughout all four milestones.
What We Built | Recap of All Milestones
-
Smart Discovery Tools
An AI-powered search engine that lets players find experiences using natural-language queries such as “I want to play a terror experience” or “top-rated casino games,” ranked by views, ratings, and intent. -
Creator Visibility Features
Search filters, trending sections, and a sponsorship system that lets creators feature their experiences in just a few clicks, crypto-enabled and without gatekeeping. -
Support Tools for Creators
Players can support creators directly through tips and by sharing experiences via X, Telegram, Discord, WhatsApp, and more. -
Backend Architecture
A backend with an internal layer, connected to unofficial endpoints thanks to help from DAO contributors. -
Frontend Platform
A responsive interface with a homepage, smart search, and sponsorship and creator-support flows, built mobile-first and tested across devices. -
Middleware for Sponsorships
A secure flow for creators to validate experiences, connect wallets, and feature their content on the homepage in real time. -
Designs and Documentation
Dozens of visual prototypes, wireframes, and a special “community gift” that imagines a full-featured platform with real-time data and API access. -
Community-Centered Process
Interviews with creators, players, and DAO contributors shaped our roadmap. Their voices are present in every decision we made.

What’s Next
The platform is live, and we welcome any feedback the community may have.
From the beginning, this project set out to solve critical issues raised by the community: lack of visibility, missing analytics, limited monetization, and disconnection between creators and players. This is just the first step toward building an even more robust, intelligent, and expansive platform in the future.
Thank you to the DAO for the trust, feedback, and constant collaboration.
Let’s keep building.
For the community, by the community.
