✨2025 has been a defining year for the creator economy - and a foundational one for @TheSandboxGame and @0xSANDchain ⛓️ This year, we turned a belief into a working system: a creator-native, identity-first chain where creators, fans, and builders share ownership, reputation, and rewards by default. What we delivered: ▫️SANDchain testnet launched at @token2049 Singapore ▫️1,000+ creators registered interest www ▫️190,000+ Creator Manifestos signed on-chain → app.sandchain.com/manifesto ▫️2M+ testnet transactions across Asia, Europe, and North America → app.sandchain.com ▫️ .sand domains launched as a unified creator identity layer with @freename → freename.io/discover/sand ▫️ Early builders shipping loyalty-driven, creator-led experiences ▫️First IRL Creator Exchange events launched in Asia Our principles stayed constant throughout: ▫️Identity before wallets ▫️Creators before platforms ▫️Participation before speculation 2025 laid the groundwork 🏗️ 2026 is about scaling tooling, loyalty, and programmable ownership 🚀 The Creator Nation is live and just getting started.

As a teenage boy, I used to spend all my summers and hours playing console games and also CounterStrike, Warcraft3, Age of Empires. Then I was hosting LAN parties while doing my engineering degree. I keep saying it out loud when I speak on stage, games bring many positive and valuable skills for the business life. They teach you to solve complex problems, navigating maps and spatial recognition and to spend wisely to optimize your resources for maximizing your future outcomes based on the type of strategy you need to go to the next level. They teach you to research outside for solutions and also empathy for the less lucky characters that you meet on your quests. Several of these techniques can be derived into business life and entrepreneurship requires you to be resourceful, courageous, resilient, relentless and sometimes taking measured risks against many odds.

In my teens and 20's I would spend way too much time playing Starcraft and Civilization. Harvesting resources, building things, and expanding was super addictive to my brain - to an almost unhealthy degree. Later I realized that entrepreneurship and business is the ultimate game. It scratches the same itch for me (resources, building, expanding), but you're actually contributing to humanity at the end of the day, which can be much more fulfilling. Business is also much more positive sum than video games. In Starcraft, the other player has to lose for you to win. In business, there is competition, but in a growing market there can be multiple winners. And gains compound long term (it's a infinite game) instead of starting over each time. Now days I prefer to watch pros play video games to unwind, instead of playing video games myself. But a quick game can still be fun here and there to unwind. By contrast, the game of business is played over many decades.

@Arthemort Congrats

Pulled a 1/1

Thank you to everyone who joined us yesterday for the NFC Brunch ! 🥐 Inside of the beautiful solo exhibition of @aurecevettier curated by @dmoulon. The show is on, see you soon in Lisbon ! 🇵🇹

From Testnet to What's Next. It's all about Creators ⛓️ @0xSANDchain and $SAND proved the model - Loyalty Points & Creator Rewards unlock better monetization and engagement. 👀Next: helping creators 10x their skills and creativity with agents collaborating with them.

💙 Thank you everyone for joining the first Playtest. Let's build what's NEXT together 💪

Thank you to everyone who joined the playtest 🧡 100K Players registered. Every spot filled. 40 minutes of average playtime per session. Your energy, feedback, and time are shaping the future of The Sandbox. This is what building together looks like.

Phase 1 of SANDchain is complete. In 120 days, we saw 6.7M+ transactions, 310K+ accounts, and 937K+ quests completed But more importantly, we saw creators and communities actually engage and come back. 200K+ people signed the Manifesto onchain, showing this is more than just usage — it’s belief. This wasn’t just a testnet, it validated that identity, loyalty, and engagement loops can work. Now we move from testing the foundation to building on top of it — exploring how AI agents (with @AnimocaMinds ) can make creator experiences more continuous and scalable. Thank you to everyone who showed up early, we’re just getting started. Read more> open.substack.com/pub/sandchain/…

As @borgetsebastien explains, every asset on @TheSandboxGame land, avatars, items, and collectibles, has always had real utility. In Web3, trust and long-term brand value come from playable experiences, usable avatars, and real in-game utility.

“du savoir-rêve”, exhibition of @aurecevettier curated by @dmoulon, is on view until May 13, 2026 at @artverse, 5 bis Rue de Beauce, 75003 Paris. (1/10)

“du savoir-rêve” proposes a visual experience in which the living and the dreamlike answer one another. Curatorial text by @dmoulon Photos by Romain Darnaud Thanks @borgetsebastien, Valentina Buzzi (10/10)

GM From @TEDTalks conference. Ready for a week of talks, learning, listening, networking, making meaningful connections beyond tech and going out of the comfort zone!

In Vancouver this week for @TEDTalks - looking to be inspired by the talks and meet new people 🤗

Ai will unlock entirely new creative languages, where imagination is no longer limited by tools, time, or medium for creators in The Sandbox

We’re proud to begin a new chapter for ArtVerse @ArtverseParis ✨ Welcoming Valentina Buzzi as our new Head of Programming & Curation — a collaboration that already took shape with @g_enesiskai solo show “The Tension That Holds” this past February, and continues with @aurecevettier “Du savoir-rêve”, on view until May 13. At ArtVerse, we’re building a space where digital art lives beyond screens — collecting, exhibiting, and supporting artists while exploring the dialogue between physical and digital worlds, right here in Paris. Valentina is now shaping an exciting 2026 program, and we can’t wait to share what’s coming next. Stay tuned — and come experience the journey with us at 5 bis rue Beauce 75003 Paris
