What is SANDchain?

SANDchain is a zk-blockchain for creator tokens, loyalty, vaults, DeFi, giving communities tools to own, fund, and grow culture. It is being built by The Sandbox (Animoca Brands) focused on giving creators more financial tools and ownership in their communities with uses the ZK Stack (from zkSync + Caldera) to provide scalability, low fees, and strong security.

SANDchain introduces several novel value layers:

• SANDpoints, which measure loyalty & reputation across the entire network.

• Creator Points, tracking individual creator support & granting access to creator token drops.

• Creator Tokens, tradeable tokens tied to specific creators, offering perks or exclusive access.

Additionaly blockchain include two important components as:

• Patron Vaults – pools where investors or fans can fund creators (loans) and earn yield/loyalty in return.

• Creator Vaults – aggregators of revenue from Web2 platforms (e.g. YouTube, TikTok) to provide predictable income for creators.

The native token SAND will act as the gas token (for transactions) and utility/gateway token across the creator economy built on SANDchain.
