The Sandbox ecosystem has officially welcomed Corners, a new Web3 curation platform now in an invite-only beta phase. Launched on December 9, 2025, Corners allows users to create, curate, and share collections of internet content, effectively "coining" them into transferable digital assets called "Corner Coins." This marks a strategic expansion for The Sandbox beyond its gaming roots, aligning with the broader rollout of The Sandbox 3.0.
The platform is designed to let communities form around topics, ideas, or niches, where participants can curate content, trade markets, and contribute via comments and upvotes. A core feature is its deep integration with the SAND token, which serves as Corners' main utility token. Curators can earn SAND rewards for their activity, and a portion of platform activity is used to reward Corner Coin holders with SAND, promoting its circulation within the ecosystem.
"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," said Robby Yung, CEO of The Sandbox. "By enabling curators to tokenize the content they love, Corners opens meaningful new opportunities for creativity and participation."
In a significant technical development, the SAND token will also become available on Base, Coinbase's Layer 2 blockchain, through an initial liquidity pool on Aerodrome. This multi-chain expansion aims to make SAND and The Sandbox ecosystem accessible beyond Ethereum and Polygon, offering a new on-ramp for on-chain communities.
Corners is currently in an invite-only beta, with a waitlist available at corners.market. The platform plans a full public rollout in early 2026 and has released a comprehensive "How to build your corner" guide to assist new users. The Sandbox, a subsidiary of Animoca Brands, highlights this integration as part of its mission to become a leading global distribution ecosystem for digital culture, now powered by over 400 partners and 8 million users.
