If you’re wondering about GovOps, here’s a 1-minute explanation I did on last week’s Spaces with @BlockchaiNorth👇 GovOps is the framework Arasakio uses to help organizations design and run systems that actually work.

As some of you may have heard, earlier this month, I made the announcement that the @TheSandboxDAO is officially paused, and my role as DAO administrator has come to an end. When we started, the DAO was just an idea on paper. Over time, we helped turn it into something real. Together, we built the foundation: the forum, website, Snapshot, reporting cadence, treasury workflows, and day-to-day operations. We reviewed proposals, pushed for transparency, and opened new governance pathways like the Grants Program. Thank you so much to everyone from @TheSandboxGame . A huge thanks to @borgetsebastien and @mnouz for your trust and support. This was the best job I ever had. I am proud that this DAO became a place where people cared enough to argue, propose, challenge, and push. I am proud that accountability started to matter more. I am proud that “governance” here was not just branding. It came with real process, real trade-offs, and real responsibility. I also want to thank the Arasakio team directly. A lot of what made this DAO function was quiet, detailed, and easy to overlook. They carried a huge amount of that work with care and professionalism, and I am deeply grateful to them. What happens next is no longer mine to shape. But I sincerely hope the work done here will be useful again one day, whether under this form or another. That experience is now the foundation of what I’m building at Arasakio. My goal is to continue helping organizations design and run systems that actually work.

@Arthemort @TheSandboxGame @viewfromhk @borgetsebastien amazing work team! It's been a pleasure collaborating

@TheSandboxGame @viewfromhk @borgetsebastien @CyrilForte x.com/Arthemort/stat…

We’re hosting a live AMA to answer questions on SIP-39 🎙️ @viewfromhk, @borgetsebastien, and @CyrilForte, will walk through the rationale, scope of the DAO pause, the transition and what it means for existing SIPs and the community. twitter.com/i/spaces/1mnxe…

@borgetsebastien @TheSandboxDAO thanks for the kind words @borgetsebastien

🎙️ As we discuss SIP-39 (now up for vote) on pausing @TheSandboxDAO after 1.5 years of operations, I want to take a moment to recognize the incredible contributions of the #SANDfam community, creators, Special Council, Advisory Board, Delegates, and of course The Sandbox DAO team 🙏 Building a decentralized governance framework for a creator-first digital nation has been a bold experiment, rich in learnings, collaboration, and collective effort. Over the past months, we’ve also shared the vision for @TheSandboxGame 3.0, introduced @CornersInternet (an onchain, incentive-driven approach to content discovery) and launched @0xSANDchain on testnet to expand participation beyond gaming and unlock new economic surfaces for creators, communities, and curators. Creator tools - especially AI and mobile - remain a top priority, with more to come 👀

@Arthemort @TheSandboxDAO It’s a pleasure working with you. Well done @Arthemort and team!

Gm, celebrating the fact we’ve reach our quarterly liquidation target for the @TheSandboxDAO without having to liquidate any Yuga lab assets from the portefolio in order to reach this objective. If you are unaware since last may, with Kim Departe and Josephine Louis we are managing the NFT collection of the DAO, a portefolio that is with a couple of millions of $. It’s different from trad art collection management, quite far from organizing digital art exibition or producing educational content and teaching classes but it feels nice being able to come back into the collecting game (sort to speak) always felt better at the buying side than the selling aspect, feel likes I’m stepping up my game and it feels good. We’ve operate nearly 100 transaction per week in order to slowly offload most of their small cap collections, keeping exposure on the rare one. Claimed a few airdrop and found over 15k of liquidity laying around, set up the operational framework to operate a wallet without any custody over it, figure out legal stuff for private sale. Lot of challenges, few pain point remaining, all will be addressed in our quarterly report. Will have ama and dedicated post on the topic for transparency. The acquisition part will be something we’ll be able to focus more on next quarter. We are looking to transform this portefolio into a manifest for digital architect, voxel aesthetic and metaverse enthousiast that represent the spirit of the sand box community. Feel free to tag artists we should consider for the collection 🫡

@Mo_Ezz14 Take care bro. Lots of love

Yesterday I was the victim of a racially aggravated road rage attack. The outpouring of love and support across X, DMs, Telegram and WhatsApp has been overwhelming. I’m deeply grateful to every one of you. Thank you. Here’s what happened: I was driving toward Central London for a meeting. Windows down. Sunshine out. Enjoying the day. A black Range Rover pulled up beside me. The passenger started shouting vile abuse. Some of it racist, including “go back to your country.” Then they emptied bottles of water on me and threw them at my car. I reacted emotionally and threw water back. In hindsight, that only made things worse. I thought I’d driven away. Then I hit a red light. They pulled up behind me. Doors flung open. They got out. Two grown men. Fists clenched. Screaming abuse. They started punching both sides of my car, trying to bait me into a fight. I stayed inside. Tried to reason with them. It was useless. The look in their eyes was pure rage. Like they had been overtaken by something hateful. As soon as the light turned green, I was off. Channelled my inner Dominic Toretto. Weaving through traffic. Got away. I’m safe. But I won’t lie. This shook me. We can’t normalise this. Racism is still very real in the UK. Even in 2025. If you’ve experienced something like this, I see you. You’re not alone. And to those who stay silent: silence is complicity. Hate has no place here. Not now. Not ever.

“Fun fact: we’ve seen DAO ops break down before the first vote is even cast. Treasury rules > token hype.”

Running a DAO is 90% operations and 10% vibes. Here’s what most people don’t realize when they decentralize 🧵

@DrMetaverso @TheSandboxDAO @NFCsummit Thank you for the kind words sir!!

@TheSandboxDAO @NFCsummit Amen to that💙

🎂 1 year ago today, #TheSandboxDAO was announced at @NFCsummit in Lisbon. We've come a long way since then. 🧮Some numbers: #SandFam across the globe has voted on 28 SIPs We’ve had 3,012 individual wallets vote on Snapshot We’ve had nearly 1,200 people vote on a single SIP 483 voters is the average number of voters on each SIP We’ve got about 3,000 organic followers on 𝕏 - We've passed 18 out of 29 SIPs - We've committed 4.3M $SAND - We've distributed 1.2M $SAND $SAND strong 💪🏽 We've also launched delegation, rolled out the SDGP, and advanced some awesome SIPs. 🚀 This is just the start! 👀 Who do you know with SAND or LAND that isn't being used as voting power at SandboxDAO.com? This next year, let's make sure every person with SAND or LAND knows they can directly influence the future @TheSandboxGame by proposing ideas, voting, or delegating their VP if they don't have time to be involved.

@borgetsebastien @TheSandboxDAO @TheSandboxGame So proud to be part of this!

🎉 Happy 1st year anniversary to @TheSandboxDAO 🎂 "A dream you dream alone is only a dream. A dream you dream together is reality" - Yoko Ono 💭 We're building @TheSandboxGame to be more than just a dream. It's a recognized brand and industry actor in Web3 that's home to 400+ Brands and 6.3M+ users. It's a place to socialize, to explore and become more creative. It's a token that is now among Top100 cryptocurrencies on CoinMarketCap. 💪 A year ago, it introduced The Sandbox DAO to enter the final stage of decentralization for games and platforms involving player-owned economies. Since then, over 3,000 community members- $SAND and LAND holders - already engaged in discussing various proposals, out of which 29 went into vote and 18 were approved to build new products for Creators and support various initiatives of Education and Inclusivity to grow the open metaverse ecosystem and push the Creators Economy to new frontiers. 🎓 We've also learned many valuable lessons on what works and what not; and how much efforts are needed for engaging participation beyond self-interest and financial incentives in Web3. 💰A total of $4.3M $SAND will be deployed in projects chosen by YOU to make an impact, such as @magicpalette_io, @WomenInTechOrg or @MarkJosephBago3 Sandbox Academy. 🫶 A HUGE Thank You to @TheSandboxDAO team, the 12 delegates and every #SANDFam member who make this DAO a vibrant and alive place everyday.

@TheSandboxDAO @NFCsummit So proud to have contributed to its birth! And now with the admin team, ensuring SIPs are processed efficiently. A big thank you to @TheSandboxGame and @borgetsebastien for your trust!
