The GFA Sandbox team proposes to launch the creation of the Aavegotchi X The Sandbox Experience. It follows the great feedback we got from the Proof of Concept presented in January and the SigProp that received the support of the DAO.

This proposal aligns with the recent Aavegotchi Blog Post related to 2023 "The Year of the Gotchi." We are convinced that having Aavegotchi in The Sandbox will bring exposure from a large user base to our ecosystem.

Bringing Aavegotchi into the Sandbox will contribute to achieving Aavegotchi’s three main focuses of 2023 : Player growth, Partnerships and Decentralization.

As described in the DAO Discord Thread, we have an Aavegotchi IP Licence and are discussing the details of this partnership with The Sandbox but we already have some exclusive intel to share. The Alpha Season 4 is on its way (End Q2 2023) and Aavegotchi could be part of it if the DAO supports this initiative! With these Sandbox experiences, Aavegotchi DAO will be able to republish again for another Alpha season or in the future on their own lands.

Please note these additions upon the feedback received from the SigProp and the most recent discussions with The Sandbox:

• Maintenance and Updates: The SigProp mentions "New updates or features to be added after those releases are out of this scope of work." This point will evolve regarding the last discussions we had with The Sandbox and expectations from DAO members. We got the confirmation that the time between the Alpha season 4 with experiences v0.8 (Q2 on sandbox lands) and the expected date for Land owners to be able to release experiences on their own lands shouldn't be too far from each other. That's the reason this proposal includes maintenance and updates until Aavegotchi DAO is willing to publish its own experiences on land (1 Major Gamemaker version update to 0.9 ie). As 0.8 just went out, Sandbox confirmed that the next release isn't right around the corner...

• Ownership: As explained in Hangouts and DAO calls with the community, the GFA does not claim the ownership of any asset or account used / created in this whole process. The limited license agreement entrusts the GFA team to create and use digital assets based on Aavegotchi intellectual property (10% royalty to PC). All source files from asset creations (.VXM / . VXR / ...) and credentials of the Sandbox account (dedicated account) are licensed for a specified purpose and scope: the development and maintenance of our Sandbox Aavegotchi experience.

This proposal will also lead to some returns upon:

• Marketing Strategy (Ownership and specific tokens/assets) for experienced players (Gotchis i.e.)
• Aavegotchi and Sandbox project Aura and community
• Incentivized events (cross universe/easter eggs/enigmas/contests/leaderboard/prize pools/Twitch Live/AMA/Crew3 quests)
• Avatars / Wearables Sales (5% commission to Sandbox)
• Original Assets sales

This Core Proposal is to fund 195k GHST and launch the creation of 2 Aavegotchi Experiences in the next 4 months as per:

• The production costs
• The side Costs (Project management tool licenses / Promotion / Creation process events / Sandbox Grant discussions and negotiations)
• Incentives (In-game and Cross-Universe)

Those costs cover 2 experiences:

• A single player game on a 2x2 land with multiple layers dedicated to Aavegotchi environments
• A multiplayer game on a 1x1 land with multiple layers We will start to work on these 2 experiences right after this voting session if the DAO supports it.

A detailed funding request is available here if you missed it in the DAO Thread : https://global.discourse-cdn.com/standard17/uploads/aavegotchi/optimized/2X/e/e2e7fd532e25a686269be903dfb79fa95cf703f5_2_936x396.jpeg

We are proposing a split funding with DAI & GHST from the treasury holdings (900k DAI and 4M GHST) :

95k GHST + 110k DAI (rate : 1 GHST = $1.10)

The idea is to limit the selling pressure on GHST for the production compensation part. This would be 2 payments operated by the DAO Fondation. The release would be settled this way:

50% at start (47.5k GHST + 55k DAI) 50% mid-journey (47.5k GHST + 55k DAI)

Mid-journey achievements to be judged would be based on The Sandbox milestones already settled in the timeline to be signed in order to be ready for the end of Q2 2023. The Beta Version is planned for the beginning of May and is the milestone to be considered. According to our contracts PC + Sandbox would judge the quality of that mid term release.

This funding includes some incentives to be distributed to engaged players and Aavegotchi community members.
