BasePaint

BasePaint shared new platform leaderboards via @w1nt3r_eth, with the official account amplifying the announcement to its community. The tweet links to the leaderboards alongside a screenshot previewing the interface. No further details on ranking criteria, tracking scope, or any associated rewards were included in the announcement.

BasePaint amplified pixel artist Jude Buffum's four cross-promotional matchup artworks created to promote Paramount Pictures' upcoming live-action Street Fighter film. Each piece recasts pop culture rivalries — like TMNT's Leonardo vs. Raphael — in the classic arcade face-off style that precedes a match in Street Fighter.

• Buffum's crossover art went viral, with matchups including SpongeBob and Optimus Prime.
• BasePaint shared the work with its community as the film's release approaches.

BasePaint community members teased an upcoming drop on the platform, sharing a pre-mint link with 5% off and previewing wallpapers available the same day. @bloomspn promoted the pre-mint offer, while @NaimePakniyat noted the new wallpapers were live.

• Pre-mint link offers 5% off the upcoming release.
• Wallpapers for the drop were released the same day.
• Details on the collection itself remain limited beyond the pre-mint and wallpaper previews.

Community member @zherring built a Claude AI mod for BasePaint that loads today's in-progress artwork or a random past day's art between prompts. BasePaint amplified the tool to its community.

The mod gives AI prompters a visual reference of the current or historical collaborative canvas while working. It is a community-built utility rather than an official BasePaint feature.

A BasePaint community member reported waking up to find all 600 of their BasePaint NFTs gone and urged holders to revoke all legacy Magic Eden contract approvals via revoke.cash. BasePaint amplified the warning to its community.

The loss stems from Magic Eden's old Payment Processor approvals on Base and other EVM chains. Magic Eden stopped using the Limit Break-built system in October 2024 but those on-chain approvals stayed active, letting attackers move NFTs and drain approved tokens — a flaw that has now taken at least $2.8M in assets and prompted white hats to rescue over 23,000 NFTs worth more than $5.7M.

• Holders who listed or traded on Magic Eden's EVM marketplace in 2024 should revoke Payment Processor approvals, including token approvals like WETH.
• Revoking protects what remains in wallets but does not recover assets already taken.

BasePaint shared an open-mint notice for Day #1125, a canvas titled **

BasePaint has unlocked a new chain option, letting users mint BasePaint canvases with ETH on Robinhood Chain. The move broadens where collectors can mint daily canvas editions, alongside the existing options.

• Minting with ETH is now available via the Robinhood Chain route.
• It extends BasePaint's reach into Robinhood's L2 ecosystem.

BasePaint revealed the winners of its Year 3 Hackathon after 32 projects were judged by an 8-person panel over two rounds, with each project read by at least three judges and the eight finalists judged by all.

Grand Prize went to CanvasFlip by @afurourrego, a trading card game where each card is a BasePaint day backed by that day's real on-chain history.

Other honors included:

• Judges' Favorite — bp3dex by @gandhionchain, converting any canvas into a 3D voxel sculpture.
• Art Projects — BasePaint World by @cryptologist99, a playable pixel overworld of canvases.
• For Collectors — Missing Days by @vvegalex, showing which BasePaint days a wallet owns.
• For Artists — a plugin by @GulaManYOW with bucket fill and other tools.
• Honorable mentions — Semantic Search, Shard Memories, a fully on-chain viewer NFT by @JestemZero, and STRATA pixel-stroke visualization.

BasePaint posted an update on its Year 3 hackathon, saying it was "surprised, delighted, and a little overwhelmed" by the number of submissions received.

All submissions were made viewable on the hackathon site, and the team confirmed it had finished scoring and laid out the next steps.

BasePaint announced a hackathon to mark its third anniversary, inviting builders to "vibe code" apps on top of its daily collaborative artwork. 2 ETH in prizes plus special swag are on offer, and organizers said no programming skills are required.

Registration opened via a dedicated link, with details on how to enter shared for builders on the Base network.
