  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.

    description: >-
      Server-side session authentication API for validating wallet addresses of
      authenticated Manifold clients. Supports two grant types: Signature Grant
      (POST /verify to confirm a wallet signature session token) and
      Authorization Code Grant (POST /token to exchange a one-time code for a
      30-day access token). Enables backends to securely access and modify
      private user data without exposing session keys client-side. Requires a
      Developer App configured at the Manifold Developer Portal.
