The Sandbox Introduces Corners
The Sandbox, a platform known for its integration of blockchain technology in gaming, has recently launched an invite-only beta of its new platform named Corners. This platform is designed as a curation tool where users can gather and manage collections of URL links and other content to foster community interaction around shared topics or interests.
Community Building and Corner Coins
Corners allows its users to not only create and manage these collections but also offers a unique aspect where every collection, known as a “corner,” can generate a proprietary Corner Coin. This feature introduces the potential for creators to gain tangible value from their collections based on the popularity and engagement level of their corners.
SAND Token Usage
Integral to Corners is the use of the SAND token, which is now supported on the Base blockchain, supplementing its existing presence on Ethereum and Polygon. SAND serves as the main utility token on the Corners platform, where activities within various corners can lead to rewards distributed in SAND tokens to the Corner Coin holders. This utility token is expected to play a crucial role in the economic aspects of the platform, connecting content curation directly with cryptocurrency benefits.
Executive Insights
Robby Yung, CEO of The Sandbox, commented on the launch of Corners, emphasizing its role in expanding the ecosystem beyond its gaming origins. “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,” Yung stated. He further added, “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.”
Looking Ahead
As Corners moves towards its full public release scheduled for early 2026, The Sandbox is set to provide a comprehensive guide to help new users understand the platform. This guide will cover essential aspects such as getting started, understanding market price, and managing tradable assets.
