What are CATALYSTs?

CATALYSTs are ERC-1155 tokens on Polygon Layer 2 that replace gems as a tool needed to mint on The Sandbox.

You can use your CATALYSTs to mint your published assets, monetize your collection, and sell your creations! With a CATALYST, you can mint one copy of your NFT. You can mint as many copies as you want as long as you have enough CATALYSTs in your wallet. Keep in mind that you will need one CATALYST per copy of the ASSET you want to mint.
