About the project
Basemint NFT is a cutting-edge platform that bridges the gap between social creativity and decentralized finance. It allows creators to invite fellow artists to a shared digital canvas for real-time collaboration. Once a masterpiece is complete, it can be minted directly to the blockchain. The platform also introduces a unique speculation layer where users can buy and sell digital shares of live drawings, supported by a robust social ecosystem featuring nested comments and instant notifications.
Key features
