4 months ago hey @snd0x sorry for the delayed response, our grant program q2 cohort is opening shortly and we would be happy to discuss your application.
can you send me a dm on Telegram (@ Ertemann) or an (email gijs@scrt.network) to connect?

Sandox
Project Description
Sandox is an integrated development environment, that is designed to give web3 ecosystem developers new convenient tools for multi chain dApps development that leverage existing capabilities by combining development, deployment and debugging tools for multiple chains in one place - a convenient sandbox ensuring a low barrier to entry for dApps developers. To run the code, developers won't need to set up a project, download and compile libraries locally. The code written in the Sandox web editor is compiled and executed directly in a browser.
In this entire proposal we offer to add support for CosmWasm and develop a Sandox SCRT module with Rust syntax support and a one-click-run-and-deploy service for smart contracts. A "SCRT network" panel will also be developed, that will allow to choose between chains and provide an API for other modules/plug-ins to connect to the chosen network. Additionally, under this grant we propose to integrate the SCRT JS library ‘SecretJS’ so that developers will be able to write JavaScript code that interacts with the Secret Network. The deliverables are described in the ‘development roadmap’ section of this application.
Problem / Solution
Most ecosystems nowadays feel the effects of the bear market and decrease in user interest along with the increase in the number of ecosystems that was driven by the previous stage of market growth. The additional complexity (which means “costs”) for developer teams arising from building projects in less adopted or multiple networks is the amount of efforts they need to spend to build and interconnect a number of tools and concepts that they should be aware of. For some teams these are the arguments to turn their attention towards the most mature networks to gain exposure to their capital and users to the detriment of any advantages that the project could gain deployed in less adopted, but unique in tech, networks.
Developers always strive to put less effort into the environment and set the core focus on the dApp experience. While the logical solution should lie in reducing the number of “things that exist” in the developers’ environment, this won’t work as each ecosystem do have its tools and libraries to provide access to its unique features.
Sandox is thought to solve this complexity and drive the adoption of multiple networks not by adding more tools, but by “encapsulating” this wide range of tools and libraries and providing the appropriate APIs.
Detailed product description
Currently our team is working on a plug-in architecture to tailor Sandox IDE specifically for working with multiple blockchains and hence isolate plug-in code execution with an ability to use each other through a plug-in API. The chosen concept for plug-in operation will be WASM, which ensures isolation of a plug-in's executable code, data protection between different plug-ins, and the required performance. Plug-ins will have an ability to be written in any WASM compiled language, therefore we have started from TypeScript SDK (plans for Rust, Go, Zic or other languages will be implemented depending on an interest from the web3 community).
So, summarizing, here’s our target list of the Sandox benefits on the current web3 IDE market:
Along the described features and deliverables we have future plans on offering powerful features like:
Go-to-Market plan
Our primary goal is to provide dApp developers with blockchain agnostic tools, enabling them to build truly decentralized applications while ensuring an excellent developer experience. Through the Sandox platform, developers will have access to valuable resources, documentation and code examples, including primitives, features, and APIs for all Sandox-adopted blockchain ecosystems. This will allow developers to deploy a test case within minutes and receive immediate results.
The existence of such a sandbox is expected to leave a positive impression on developers’ community and establish a robust foundation for organic growth. We anticipate a multitude of experiments inspiring one another and the influx of innovative minds.
Value capture for Secret Network ecosystem
As a convenient sandbox for quick development and testing, Sandox will help to attract new developers and projects to the Secret Network ensuring a low entry barrier: no need for an hours-long set up of a developer’s environment and available tools research – just open Sandox and start coding.

Team's experience
Sandox team is a trusted blockchain community contributor, we have developed applications and PoCs that facilitate our day-to-day life: from a decentralized files storage service to a decentralized messenger PoC. First steps in developing Sandox IDE were made within the TRADELINK TECHNOLOGIES OÜ (Estonia) team, that is focused on developing a crypto trading platform https://tradelink.pro/. Meanwhile, as we see great opportunities and work volumes for the Sandox IDE we have separated the development team under a separate legal entity.

Development Roadmap
Milestone 1 “SCRT Network” panel
Milestone 2 CosmWasm support
Milestone 3 SecretJS implementation
| 0a. | License | Apache 2.0 | | 0b. | Documentation | We will provide both inline documentation of the code and a basic tutorial that explains how a user can execute tests that will show how the functionality works. | | 0c. | Testing and Testing Guide | Core functions will be fully covered by comprehensive unit tests to ensure functionality and robustness. In the guide, we will describe how to run these tests. | | 1. | SecretJS implementation | SecretJS library implementation for interaction with the SCRT Network. | | 2. | Project compiling feature | We will extend the user’s projects code builder that it would allow to use es6 imports of the SecretJS library and develop a code that uses this library’s methods. A user won’t have to deploy a project locally, compile dependencies and the library to use or test it’s capabilities. The code will be compiled and executed straight in Sandox in a browser. |
We’d like to receive payments upon milestones completion and approval. Ideally will be to receive a 50% prepayment for the first milestone.
