The Builders’ Challenge rewards creators based on player engagement rather than competition. This ensures that high-quality, replayable experiences receive fair and proportional rewards.
Engagement-Based
Rewards are calculated based on real player interactions, not rankings or fixed prize pools.
No Set Prize Pool
There is no fixed cap on the total amount of SAND distributed—earnings scale based on engagement trends.
Max Earnings Per Experience
A single experience can earn up to 50,000 SAND over the 4-week event.
Fair Distribution
The reward formula is designed to reflect genuine play without being manipulated.
Rewards are determined based on a combination of engagement-related factors that reflect how players interact with an experience. This includes various metrics that evaluate player visits, time spent, and meaningful interactions within an experience.
The exact formula is not publicly disclosed to ensure fairness and prevent system manipulation.
Rewards are dynamically scaled based on real player engagement trends across the event.
The system is designed to fairly reflect how well an experience retains and engages players, rather than purely measuring numbers.
By keeping the focus on genuine engagement and replayability, this system ensures that creators are rewarded for delivering high-quality, player-driven experiences.
To maintain the integrity and fairness of the Builders’ Challenge, we do not publicly disclose the full reward formula. This prevents:
Exploitation & Manipulation – Hiding the formula ensures creators focus on real engagement rather than trying to game the system.
Artificial Inflation – Stops creators from artificially boosting engagement through exploits or third-party services.
Fair Play – Ensures all creators compete on an equal footing, with rewards accurately reflecting genuine player interaction.
We are committed to communicating clear guiding principles for how engagement is rewarded, allowing creators to focus on quality, fun, and replayability. To learn more about how to grow organic engagement on your content, we recommend reading our guide on How to Succeed in the Builders’ Challenge.
After the four-week event is over, data and any open reports will be reviewed to ensure fairness and detect any anomalies. Earnings will be distributed as soon as possible, estimated at 2-3 weeks after the event.
