FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What will I be required to submit with my application form?
You will need to provide basic information on your identity and a link to your online voxel portfolio. If you don’t have a portfolio, you can easily set up one on sites like Artstation, Behance, and even Instagram. Alternatively, you can attach some images of your voxel creations to the form.
Is my information kept private when I apply online?
The Sandbox will not release your information without your permission.
How much can I earn per ASSET?
We pay a variable rate based on the size and complexity of the work. Large, high-quality assets without animation pay $60 at most, though there can be exceptions. You also receive all marketplace profits when the items you publish are sold, which can mean significant future profits once the Marketplace is fully launched.
How many assets can I submit?
Unlimited.
Can I sell assets for which I’ve received a grant from the Creator Fund on other marketplaces?
Yes, you retain all rights and ownership of your Content and can sell them on other marketplaces. We will only request a nonexclusive permission to list the content on The Sandbox’s Marketplace.
