The Sandbox Guild in a Nutshell
In simple terms, the Sandbox has been built to encourage participation and collaboration on different activities in the NEAR Ecosystem. It’s a place where anyone can join with no previous knowledge about NEAR. It’s a place where individuals can contribute to different opportunities in the NEAR ecosystem, projects and guild leaders find support and recruit future Guild Members while prospective Guild founders can incubate their guild plan.
We want you to openly promote your talents and work with others to benefit from available opportunities. Your efforts will be rewarded in a decentralized way by means of Sputnik DAO. This is evaluated by the Sandbox council and sent to the NEAR address you provided.
In simple terms: Build cool stuff – design cool stuff – make cool stuff – and you can earn $NEAR for it. Work together and you can earn even more. Above all, you’ll be part of a friendly, welcoming and open community.
Mission
Sandbox mission narrows down to the necessary guidance for everyone who wishes to deploy their talents for the benefit of the NEAR ecosystem. All kinds of talents are appreciated here: the main purpose is to create value that will accelerate the development of the ecosystem. This is truly an inclusive community for everyone who is passionate about innovation.
Vision
Sandbox aspires to become a hub (almost like a Digital City) for everyone in the NEAR ecosystem (NEAR Team, Existing Guilds, Projects, and of course contributors and community members) to be able to converse, share their project needs, updates, and goals and hopefully maximize engagement across the ecosystem.

Conclusion
From what we have outlined above we want the Sandbox to be the Digital City of NEAR that makes activities within the Ecosystem collaborative and inclusive while also rewarding. By bringing in all Ecosystem participants and rewarding over time, we have the opportunity to create a really involved community of proactive and seriously talented contributors.
Right now the NEAR Ecosystem is at a pivotal point in its development. The Sandbox is a way for new members on NEAR to get started, create value, and build larger network effects.
We can imagine NEAR 5 years from now being a huge ecosystem of cutting-edge projects, and the Sandbox as being a massive digital city for new and old people alike to work within and among these projects. What that means more directly is that anyone interested in the future of NEAR should also be interested in making sure that the Sandbox is a roaring success.
