1. Project Overview
W3GG is seeking a grant of 10K USDT (43K SAND) to support The Sanbox’s participation at “W3GG Gam3 Arena”, in Jakarta this August. Gam3 Arena is W3GG’s premier standalone even- designed as a gateway for Web2 gamers to explore the world of Web3 gaming, the event serves as a curated, high-energy space combining gameplay, community building, and innovation.
Gam3 Arena 2025 is strategically designed as a hybrid event, combining onsite activation at Point Arena Gaming House in Jakarta with online engagement through W3GG’s digital ecosystem and media partners. This format maximizes visibility, accessibility, and interaction, especially for the digitally native generation.
2. Problem Identification
The problem we’re addressing is the need to secure funding to ensure The Sandbox can attend, have pre-event activation through online Voxel learning, and have a presence at "W3GG Gam3 Arena” in Jakarta for both the game test and Voxel Time Attack tournamenti. Their presence is critical for leveraging Sandbox’s high visibility to further develop their Indonesian community and fostering the growing Indonesian community for The Sandbox. Without this support, The Sandbox might miss out on a key opportunity to strengthen its market position and capitalize on the strategic partnership with W3GG.
3. Solution Approach
The primary aim of the SIP is to enhance the market penetration at “W3GG Gam3 Arena” by showcasing The Sandbox’s metaverse platform through an engaging booth and interactive demos. This participation will drive community growth, attract local gamers and influencers, and build strategic partnerships.
For Sandbox DAO, this translates to increased brand visibility and valuable market insights. Additionally, the event benefits from heightened engagement and media attention, reinforcing its prominence and innovation in the crypto space. It can also solidify The Sandbox’s position as a leader in the metaverse industry while enriching the overall event experience.

6. Team Qualifications
I’m Vinzka, the Head of Events and currently leading W3GG in Indonesia. W3GG is a decentralised gaming protocol aiming to empower and reward gamers for playing, contributing and supporting gaming ecosystems. I started my journey with the Sandbox since March 2024 as their Project Manager. I learned about Sandbox as a brand from the ground up with George’s guidance as the Country Manager for Indonesia.
With the achievement that W3GG brings to The Sandbox for Indonesia in 2024, I have learned that I really respect The Sandbox as a brand and committed to always contribute to support The Sandbox through any activation possible. It is very important for W3GG- as a long-term partner of The Sandbox to have them in our first ever Gam3 Arena. We would love to show the community our strength in joining forces to lead the metaverse in Indonesia.
