The phase ended with noteworthy achievements including 6.9 million processed transactions and the generation of 310,000 new accounts, thereby bolstering SANDchain’s infrastructure. A strong pledge of user allegiance was also seen as 203,000 participants signed the Manifesto, which promotes the platform’s role in powering the creator economy.
Organic Growth and Community Engagement
Throughout the test phase, SANDchain experienced substantial organic growth. In total, users completed 948,000 quests and initiated 2,600 builder projects in the Builder Hub, indicating a high level of engagement and interest in the developing opportunities within the ecosystem.

Mapping the Road Ahead: Phase 2
As SANDchain transitions into Phase 2, the focus will intensify on integrating AI technology from its sister company, Animoca Minds. The upcoming phase is set to enhance the dynamism, scalability, and intelligence of on-chain systems. “If Phase 1 proved that identity, loyalty, and engagement loops can work on-chain, the next phase is about making these systems more dynamic, scalable, and intelligent,” the company outlined. The main goal will be to enrich creator engagement, ensuring more fluid interactions, meaningful rewards, and continuous immersive on-chain experiences.
