The $SANDBOX tokenComing soon
What the $SANDBOX token does: creator fees paid to builders, the publishing threshold, paying for AI generation, and what stays open to everyone.
$SANDBOX is Sandbox’s token, planned on Pons V2 (Robinhood Chain) with the Sandbox contract as creator fee recipient. It has three uses, all described here: funding builder rewards, unlocking publishing, and paying for AI 3D generation.
Not launched yet
Creator fees and rewards
On Pons, every trade of a token pays a fee, part of which goes to the token’s “creator”. For $SANDBOX, that creator is the Sandbox.sol contract itself: the creator share goes to no one in particular, it fills the builders’ vault, which is emptied every 24 hours in favour of the most played games.
Launch
The token is launched on Pons V2 withcreatorFeeRecipient= the contract address, then bound once and for all withsetPonsToken, which checks that recipient.Harvest
Anyone can callharvest(): the fees accrued on the bonding curve, then in the Uniswap V4 pool after graduation, arrive in the contract as ETH.Redistribution
Every 24 hours, the vault’s balance is split between the most played games of the last 24 hours, pro rata to their weight. See Epoch rewards.
Publishing threshold
Publishing a game requires holding at least 1,000 $SANDBOX in the publishing wallet. The threshold makes it costly to mass-publish empty games to farm rewards. The studio checks it and, with the draft registry, the server checks it again.
Holding is enough: nothing is spent or locked. Details: Publishing a game.
Paying for AI generation
AI 3D generation (Meshy or Tripo) is paid in $SANDBOX, with a token transfer from your wallet to the treasury. The server checks the transaction on-chain (sender, recipient, amount at least the price) before starting the job, and each transaction pays for one generation only.
Prices
| Option | Price |
|---|---|
| Text to 3D (draft, textured) | 40 $SANDBOX |
| Image to 3D (draft, textured) | 60 $SANDBOX |
| High quality (detailed mesh, 2K textures) | +30 $SANDBOX |
| Auto-rig (walk, idle, run clips) | +40 $SANDBOX |
Example: a high-quality image to 3D with a rig costs 60 + 30 + 40 = 130 $SANDBOX. See AI 3D generation.
