The Sandbox DAO

It's your time to govern

We're shaping the future of The Sandbox ecosystem through community governance.

If you hold SAND or LAND, you're already a member of the DAO. That means you can cast your votes, influence proposals through constructive discourse before they go to vote, submit proposals of your own, or safely delegate your voting power to others to vote on your behalf.

What Brands and IPs in the Metaverse Say About Us

There was no baseline for us initially, so we weren’t sure what to expect. The brand took a risk entering a new uncharted space that people were uncertain of. It was ultimately a risk well worth taking. The proof is there in the numbers and most importantly the fun the community is having engaging with the brand

Care Bears

Our guiding mission became to connect community and commerce across a broad array of businesses. The Sandbox really fits into that broader strategy; we’re able to build innovative experiences for Paris’s fanbase that encourage everyone to have fun in this brave new world.

Paris Hilton

The Sandbox has enabled us to leverage the relationship we’ve built with our community to create incredible new experiences. To The Sandbox’s credit, they have a very strong fanbase. It’s very engaged and is constantly joining Steve’s Discord. We were able to cross-pollinate and get a bunch of new fans that way.

FAQs

What if I don’t have time to keep up with all of the discussions and votes in the DAO?

You can identify a delegate whose vision for the future of The Sandbox aligns with yours. You can then safely delegate your voting power to them without transferring any tokens from your wallet using the Snapshot protocol, the same tool we use to manage all governance on-chain. Find out more on the delegation page.

The SIPs are posted every two weeks on Wednesday at 9 p.m. CET, which marks the beginning of the voting period.
