Manifold x Shape L2
Manifold Studio is now live on Shape, a new Layer 2 network purpose built for the web3 creator economy.
What is Shape?
Shape is a new, fast, low-cost Ethereum L2 built on the Superchain. But performance alone isn’t what sets it apart.
Shape is designed specifically for digital art and collectible assets to thrive. It reimagines what an L2 can be by aligning its economics, community, and design philosophy with creators from day one.
“NFTs were born on Ethereum L1, but they’ve always needed a proper home—where experimentation is cheap, interactions are rich, and decentralization is real.” — bonafidehan, Shape founder
Shape’s gasback model returns network fees to creators and developers. In addition, its token, $SHAPE, is majority allocated to the community. Shape is made for the people who use code and creativity to move culture forward.
Why now?
Manifold's integration with Shape is part of our broader commitment to give creators more control and optionality across the networks that matter. We don’t believe in chain maximalism—but we believe in letting creators choose the environment that best supports their work. And we've heard you loud and clear.
In addition, Shape aligns with the principles that brought many of us onchain in the first place: decentralization, experimentation, and creator ownership. It’s a values-driven network, purpose-built for the next generation of NFT experiences—and it’s only the beginning. We’ll continue integrating with networks that prioritize creators.
