SIP - Creator Toolkit Release

đź’ˇ SIP: Ideas đź‘€ In DAO Review
,
1

Hello everyone.

I’m not sure how to get started through the DAO and SIP’s, so I’ll start on the place which seems the 1st step.

The title is pretty catchy as it’s content.

The Creator Toolkit Release would consists on the following Tools/Features for Creators to use:

  • SAND/NFT Distribution and Claim System.
  • Leaderboards.
  • EP Seasons.
  • API’s.

These features are already build, develop and implemented in The Sandbox website, they aren’t accessible to Creators tho.

This proposal invites the DAO to implement said Features/Tools that have already been developed, meaning the cost of implementation is rather low, versus building them from scratch.

Having this said, the development budget would be 0 SAND, as all of these have been developed and implemented already.

It will require extra programing costs, to scale these tools to be used by everyone. But assuming it has a Professional Full-Stack developer, working 8 hours per day, it would take about 2 months, to scale said features to be acessible for all.
So the budget would be around from 5K-20K USD (around 20K - 80K SAND as time of writing) depending on the Professional Full Stack programmer wage.

This SIP would improve the overall quality of games, unlock new monetization strategies, while having a minimum impact on the DAO’s budget. The upsides versus downsides are huge, as we’re asking to open to all already built and developed features.

Hope this SIP resonates with all of you and the benefits within.

Love this idea and, if implemented, it would make our lives as studios SO much easier.

Running contests and events in TSB is very difficult and tedious currently. Even the best community solutions are no where near as elegant as integrating everything into The Sandbox’s site.

The tools are already there and were used. We cannot continue running “professional” companies while using google forms to take results for events and hoping no one is manipulating data.

Hello, I am not a creator so I will let the expert react on that one. Nevertheless my advice would be to put at a later stage a bit more effort in the explanation for non creators as the community is diverse and a lot of voting power is in the hands of non creators.

Hey @KCL happy to see a non Creator interested in this topic.

Basically The Sandbox has developed a vast array of tools which are already integrated with the Sandbox website, this includes: SAND/NFT Distribution and claim system, Leaderboards, EP (Ethos Points) Seasons and API’s.

The goal with this SIP is to unlock those tools to be available to all Creators as it would impact massively the quality of our experiences and the competitions held within.

Therefore, in the end, it makes the whole Sandbox ecosystem stronger, more robust and much more fun.

Hope this explanation helped!

Hey @PickaxeMaster ! You listed API as one. I had a SIP cooking specifically for the API with a full blown list of requirements. Is your API portion a full-blown request to Sandbox team for API access to the public or is it something more specific?

I don’t want to stop my API SIP if it’s got a different focus from yours.

I talked to Pickaxe Master about this. I don’t think he intends to to make this a SIP and gave me the go-ahead to absorb it into my CTK/API SIP that I’m building.

Hey Lanzer, I believe the more SIP’s towards the same goal, proves how much it’s actual needed.

Feel free to include all of these points in your SIP, the more the merrier. I’m not discarding my proposal and I’d like to see the next steps here.

If you wish to pursue with an official SIP, please follow the guidelines and submit your SIP through the form.

This could make a great SIP, @PickaxeMaster.

I hope you decide to advance the idea.

Clear. So if I understood correctly this will work like the season leaderboard but for a specific game. I like the idea. Do you know as well if the system developped for EP counting does somehow includes as well social media linkage or NFT linkage like it is used in AS4? I like those features that generate publication on X or more EP rewards for NFTs owners (avatars, equipment or land).

Hey @theKuntaMC the SIP has been submitted now. Appreciate your kind words.

So, with the release of these tools, every Creator would be able to set up their own easons and define their own goals with the EP system, on top of it, they would be able to run Leaderboards for the duration of the Season, which all complements on the ability to reward players all in the Sandbox website. This would allow the creators to scale and actually host competitions that can have a lot of players.

The API’s would allow more complex Leaderboard system, or player tracking for daily tasks and rewards. It would allow everything that was said in the previous paragraph but in much more extensive way.
