Shape is a chain for creators built on top of Ethereum. It provides an open space for creating various forms of digital content, from fine art to experimental projects, while offering unique incentives for creators.
The Shape API allows developers to interact with the Shape network through a set of JSON-RPC methods. It supports various operations such as smart contract deployment, transaction processing, and data retrieval.
Explained in Shape API Quickstart.
Shape is EVM equivalent. This means developers can deploy Ethereum-based smart contracts and applications on Shape with minimal modifications, leveraging existing Ethereum development tools and practices.
Gasback is a unique feature of Shape where creators can claim back 80% of sequencer fees users spend interacting with their contracts. This includes self-built contracts, acquired contracts, and contracts deployed through other platforms.
Shape is built on top of Ethereum and inherits its security. It's designed to be EVM equivalent, allowing for seamless integration with Ethereum-based tools and practices.
Shape supports Solidity for smart contract development due to its EVM equivalence. For off-chain interactions, developers can use JavaScript, TypeScript, or other common web development languages.
Shape inherits its security directly from Ethereum, ensuring a high level of security for the network.
