The Sandbox has officially launched early access for Corners, a new on-chain content curation platform built on the Base blockchain. The launch marks a new step for The Sandbox ecosystem as it moves beyond gaming and into wider internet content discovery and community curation. The platform is now gradually opening to users through an early access rollout.
What Is Corners and How It Works
Corners is a platform where users can create topic based collections of links from anywhere on the internet. Each collection is called a corner and can focus on any interest, idea, or theme. Users can discover existing corners, hold them, and take part in shaping their content.
Holders of a corner help curate it by posting links and upvoting submissions from other users. The most popular links rise to the top, giving the community direct control over what content is featured. Corners can also be traded, turning curated collections into on-chain assets with real market activity.
Built on Base and Connected to SAND
Corners is built on Base, a layer two blockchain network designed to support fast and low cost on-chain activity. The platform is supported by The Sandbox and uses the SAND token as part of its reward system.
Users who actively curate and support corners can earn rewards, while corner holders benefit from engagement within their collections. This setup encourages long term participation and gives value to both creators and curators inside the ecosystem.
The move to Base also makes it easier for new users to join without the higher costs often associated with main Ethereum transactions.
What Comes Next for Corners
Corners is currently in early access, with more users expected to join over time. The Sandbox team has indicated that this phase will be used to gather feedback and refine the platform before a wider public release planned for the future.
As development continues, Corners is expected to introduce clearer tools and guides to help users understand how to create, manage, and grow their own corners.
