The Sandbox ecosystem welcomes Corners, a new Web3 platform in invite-only beta that lets participants coin and gain value from Internet content

Expanding The Sandbox ecosystem, Corners is a new Web3 platform to coin, curate, and share the content of the Internet, allowing curators to gain value from collections of URLs from all corners of the Internet

The Sandbox and Animoca Brands welcome the new free-to-use curation platform, Corners, into their ecosystem. Corners has launched an invite-only beta where users can coin, create, and share collections of internet content. Users can join the waitlist at www.corners.market.

Corners allows anyone to create a “Corner Coin” – a user-created, transferrable digital asset based on a curated collection of internet links, conversations, and content. Once a corner is created, anyone can share and curate content for it, and contribute to its growth and value by adding links or new content.

The launch of Corners expands The Sandbox’s ecosystem beyond gaming, as previously announced as part of The Sandbox 3.0 rollout, and into a broader distribution network of culture while introducing new utility for the SAND token.

Robby Yung, CEO of The Sandbox, said: “Corners is a great example of how partners can help extend the utility of the SAND token and support the continued evolution of The Sandbox ecosystem beyond gaming. By enabling curators to tokenize the content they love, Corners opens meaningful new opportunities for creativity and participation. We’re pleased to support products that build on our foundation and bring more communities into The Sandbox’s wider ecosystem.”

Corners deeply integrates the SAND token as its main utility token, powering platform activity. Curators can earn rewards for their activity and curation. Additionally, a portion of the platform’s activity is used to reward Corner Coin holders with the SAND token, promoting its distribution and use within the ecosystem.

The SAND token will also become available on Base through an initial liquidity pool on Aerodrome. This expansion will make the SAND token and The Sandbox ecosystem accessible beyond Ethereum and Polygon, offering a new on-ramp for on-chain communities and making it easier to move the SAND token across the crypto ecosystem.

Ahead of the full public rollout scheduled for early 2026, Corners is releasing a comprehensive “How to build your corner” guide on www.corners.market to provide additional details on getting started, understanding market price, transferrable digital assets, and more.

Early adopters who wish to discover and create their own corner can join the waitlist at www.corners.market.

About Corners

Corners explores a new paradigm for digital interaction on the Internet. On Corners, communities form around a collection of links, and every community becomes a valued community collection. Communities form around a topic, idea, or niche, and others can trade those markets, curate content, and contribute to the growth of the corner via comments and upvotes.

Corners is launched on Base, Coinbase’s layer 2 blockchain, and supported by The Sandbox and powered by the SAND token.
