SandStorm, the leading metaverse creator community, has released its highly anticipated “suggestion and proposal” platform.
This metaverse construction marketplace will match brands with builders from top virtual worlds, including Decentraland and The Sandbox, allowing brands to distribute assets and experiences on demand. Its decentralized approach will bring together the best builders to deliver unmatched quality and cost savings to metadata-leading brands.
Similar to on-demand marketplaces like HomeAdvisor and Upwork, SandStorm has become a hub for thousands of the world’s top metaverse creators to find work. SandStorm provides an innovative solution for how established brands such as Walmart, Panera and McDonald’s can tap into open metadata by connecting brands, individual builders and full development studios of all sizes.
SandStorm CEO Steve McGarry said:
“Physical location for work has become much less important to many of us in the last two years. At SandStorm, we believe that the future of work will be driven primarily by an individual’s skills and ability to work on a team in a metadatabase. As we move towards a more digital society, the asset creation capabilities for multiple virtual worlds showcased in a SandStorm profile will level the playing field for employment.”
The SandStorm platform highlights Skills, Usability, Communication, Quality, Deadlines and Team Collaborative builders. It can be likened to building a dream house in the physical world, but instead of hiring a local real estate development firm, choosing the best architect in Korea, the best roofer in London and the best electrician in Canada is possible with this platform. On the other hand, brands operating in the virtual world can select contractors based on their previous business portfolios.
Brands can submit proposals to produce an experience in The Sandbox, Decentraland and soon five additional virtual worlds. Individual builders and development studios from all over the world can then bid using SandStorm profiles.
Brands can then choose the team they want under SandStorm’s guidance. After compilation is complete, a Transaction NFT (TNFT) is sent to all relevant renderer profiles. This allows builders to share their role in the project and promote the brand’s structure to their followers. Brand partners and builders review each other after construction is complete to ensure that all parties have the highest quality experiences.
SandStorm CBO Matt Saricicek said:
“SandStorm aims to lower the barrier to entry for brands, as the minimum budget for bidding for a small group of assets is $1,000. Once these bids are approved, they go live in front of more than 2,000 verified builders to bid on projects of any size.
“This is just the tip of the iceberg; There are countless intelligent and creative individuals all over the world who are unaware of web3 and will eventually increase the existing community and experiences on web3 a thousandfold. We are excited by the work of these incredible artists and we are excited to contribute to this movement.”
JP Morgan predicts that Metaverse will be an $8 trillion market by 2030 and there is a huge need for builders and producers to produce content across all virtual experiences. Builder education will play a vital role as SandStorm continues to streamline the open metaverse construction market with an enormous amount of pricing data.
SandStorm invites an average of 25 new builders to the site each day by offering weekly interviews, workshops and training streamed live directly from their platform. As a ramp for enthusiastic new builders, SandStorm expects growth to be between 130 and 170 new builders per day by mid-2023.
“We believe the key to unlocking the potential of future generations is to create an open platform where everyone can ‘build’ their destiny as a metaverse generator,” said Evan Stafford, COO of SandStorm.
