Ancient City of Gold
A legendary city built 1,100 years ago by the Shandorians, known as the City of Gold. A place full of mysteries, history, and extraordinary architecture inspired by ancient civilizations.
Shandora was built 1,100 years ago by the Shandorians, ancestors of the Shandia tribe. The city was located on Jaya Island, in a place called "the skull's right eye".
The name "Shandora" literally means "the skull's right eye", which refers to its location on the skull-shaped island.
During the Void Century, Shandora fell to the Twenty Kingdoms, which later became the World Government. The Shandia fought to protect their Poneglyph.
After the Void Century, Shandora crumbled to ruins, but the Shandia continued to guard the city for hundreds of years.
In 1127, Shandora along with half of Jaya Island was shot up by the Knock Up Stream to Skypiea, where it became known as Upper Yard.
For 400 years, the city was under Skypiean control, while the Shandia fought to reclaim it.
During Enel's reign, all gold-covered buildings were stripped to build the Ark Maxim. The gold was mined by the enslaved Divine Squad.
After the Upper Yard War, Shandora returned to the hands of the Shandia, who now share it with the Skypieans.
The buildings of Shandora resemble Mayan architecture. The ancient texts discovered in the city are a set of ancient Mayan glyphs, demonstrating deep connections with this civilization.
A place storing ancient stones with history
All buildings in Shandora were covered in gold until Enel took all the gold to build his ark. Today only ruins remain, but they still retain their majestic character.
Building a Real City of Gold
We are building something legendary - a real vault of gold, funded by transaction fees from the Shandora token.
Every transaction fee contributes to building our Golden Vault. This isn't just a dream - it's our commitment to creating a true City of Gold.
When the vault reaches its goal, the gold will be distributed among our community members who actively contribute:

Shandora is likened to the ancient myth of cities of gold that were brought back from the Americas by European settlers, specifically El Dorado.
The word "Shandora" stems from the Sanskrit word for the Moon - "Chandra", which is where the Shandorian race originated from.
