In this CoinGape Live AMA, The Sandbox ecosystem leaders explored how decentralized governance is redefining the future of the metaverse. Sebastian Borget, Co-Founder and COO of The Sandbox, explained how the Sandbox DAO empowers creators and players through true digital ownership, community voting, and transparent decision-making. The DAO enables SAND and LAND holders to submit and vote on Sandbox Improvement Proposals (SIPs), shaping platform development, creator incentives, education initiatives, and sustainability projects.

Loretta Chan, Co-Founder and CEO of SMER, highlighted the role of storytelling, inclusivity, and digital democracy in Web3, emphasizing how DAOs give underrepresented regions a global voice. Anthony Chow, CEO of Cord Hero, shared how education, music, and gamification intersect with blockchain to onboard the next generation into Web3. Together, the speakers stressed that active participation—not speculation—is key to building a resilient, creator-first metaverse economy.
