**APIs profiled:** 7

Manifold is an NFT creator tools platform that empowers artists and developers to deploy their own creator-owned smart contracts, mint NFTs, and build custom on-chain experiences without relying on platform-specific custody. Founded in 2021, Manifold provides a no-code studio (Manifold Studio) for ERC721 and ERC1155 contract deployment, open-source Creator Core smart contracts, a Royalty Registry adopted by all major NFT marketplaces, and a Client SDK for building custom minting dApps. The platform supports Ethereum Mainnet, Base, Optimism, Shape, Apechain, and Sepolia testnet. Manifold also exposes server-side authentication APIs (Signature Grant and Authorization Code Grant via oauth2.manifoldxyz.dev), a Studio Apps REST API (apps.api.manifoldxyz.dev) for product and minting data, open-source Solidity extension contracts for custom mint mechanics, and a Marketplace contract powering auction and fixed-price listings. Gas fees are the only cost for creators; Manifold charges no platform fees or royalties on sales.
