The Sandbox, a decentralized gaming platform, is launching its decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), The Sandbox DAO, in three phases. The DAO will allow The Sandbox (SAND) holders and virtual LAND NFT owners to vote on projects and propose improvements. Phase one, beginning May 28, will allow community voting on Sandbox Improvement Proposals (SIPs), with some operations still managed by The Sandbox staff. Phase two will see The Sandbox DAO become self-reliant, and by phase three, it will be fully operational with community-driven governance. A leadership team, including a council and advisers, will guide the DAO.
