Paint Together. Mint Daily.

Contribution

Problem - There are very few consumer dApps that are fun to use and not about speculation. BasePaint was conceived as an art project that could only be built on web3, where artists could collaborate onchain and share in the profits generated by their collective work. Creation - Every day since our launch (08.09.2023) artists come together on BasePaint to paint a shared canvas for 24 hours. Once the 24 hours passes, the artwork is minted as an open edition NFT, and the profits are distributed amongst all contributors. Impact - Over 2,203 artists, many using Base for the first time, have contributed to over 64 CC0 canvases, generating $230k in profits distributed frictionlessly between all contributors.
