The Sandbox and its parent company, Animoca Brands, have announced the integration of Corners, an emerging Web3 platform designed to transform how online content is collected and valued. Corners has opened an invite-only beta phase, inviting early participants to experiment with creating and trading digital assets built around curated Internet content.
Introducing “Corner Coins” — Digital Assets Shaped by Communities
Corners enables anyone to create a “Corner Coin,” a transferable digital asset backed by a curated list of links, conversations, posts, and other online resources. Each corner becomes a community-driven collection where participants can add new content, vote, comment, and influence its overall value. The platform aims to foster niche communities centered around shared interests, allowing them to build meaningful digital collections that evolve.
Strengthening The Sandbox 3.0 Vision Beyond Gaming
The launch of Corners supports The Sandbox’s ongoing expansion into broader cultural experiences, as outlined in its Sandbox 3.0 roadmap. The platform introduces new use cases for SAND, the utility token that powers The Sandbox’s ecosystem.
Robby Yung, CEO of The Sandbox, emphasized the significance of this collaboration:
“Corners is a great example of how partners can extend the utility of the SAND token and support the ongoing evolution of The Sandbox ecosystem beyond gaming. By allowing curators to tokenize the content they care about, Corners unlocks fresh creative and participatory opportunities. We’re excited to back initiatives that enhance our foundation while welcoming new communities into the wider Sandbox network.”
 
Deep SAND Token Integration and Expansion to Base
SAND is the primary utility token in Corners, rewarding curators for their contributions. A percentage of overall platform activity is redistributed to Corner Coin holders in SAND, encouraging long-term engagement and participation.
In addition, SAND will soon be accessible on Base, Coinbase’s Layer-2 network, through a liquidity pool on Aerodrome. This expansion offers a new entry point for users beyond Ethereum and Polygon and enhances the mobility of SAND across blockchain ecosystems.
As Corners prepares for its public rollout in early 2026, the platform will publish a step-by-step guide titled “How to Build Your Corner” on its website. The guide will explain how to create Corner Coins, understand pricing, and navigate digital asset features.
