what's shape?
Shape is a permissionless Layer 2 blockchain built for creators, emphasizing NFTs, digital art, and decentralized publishing. It enables users to mint, trade, and collect assets through features like Stacks for reputation building via medals and integrations with platforms such as OpenSea and Manifold. The project supports artist claims for $SHAPE tokens and hosts events like hackathons to foster creativity and community engagement. Shape aims to provide creative sovereignty, allowing seamless on-chain interactions for artists and collectors in a non-custodial environment.
