BasePaint

BasePaint says it has implemented a new artist onboarding flow that requires zero crypto knowledge — no wallets, no passphrases. The update was announced by @w1nt3r_eth and amplified by the official BasePaint account.

• The flow is designed to remove crypto friction from signing up, so artists can get started without managing wallets or seed phrases.
• The announcement includes no details on how the flow works, which artists it covers, or whether it replaces the existing signup process.

BasePaint introduced Fancy Pepointers, a new collection of flying pepe designs that users can use as custom cursors on the platform. The artwork was designed by the Pakniyat family — @NaimePakniyat, @nahidpakniyat and @Kingkiyan109 — and is being released as a mintable collection.

• The mint is exclusive to BasePaint brush holders and opens via a link shared in the announcement.
• It continues BasePaint's pattern of community-created collectibles tied to the platform's brush ecosystem.
• No details on supply, pricing, or mint window were included in the announcement.

BasePaint announced the Day #1179 canvas, "Trick or Treat II: The Sweets," now available to mint. The post from the official account links to the mint alongside a preview of the day's artwork.

• It follows the platform's daily canvas cadence, with each day's piece open for collecting.
• The title suggests a sequel to an earlier "Trick or Treat" canvas, continuing the holiday-themed theme. No other details on the artwork or mint were included in the announcement.

BasePaint reposted a community-built widget created by @qabqabqab that lets users stay tuned to what's happening in the BasePaint chat. The widget takes inspiration from an existing BasePaint widget for iOS built by @fascinated, and qab shared a short video tutorial alongside the announcement.

• The widget's code is available on the web3 social platform StayinProcess.
• The repost is a community spotlight for a fan-built tool, not an official BasePaint product release.

BasePaint's official account amplified community praise for @w1nt3r_eth's recent platform updates, with members singling out the new artist profile pages as a favorite addition. Another artist welcomed the ability to share work-in-progress (WIP) videos, saying it lets them show their creative process in action.

The retweets thank w1nt3r_eth for "all the amazing updates recently" but include no details on when the features shipped, what they include beyond the highlights, or how they work. Both posts serve as community reactions to the ongoing wave of platform improvements rather than formal announcements.

BasePaint's official account highlighted a mini web app created by @w1nt3r_eth that uses the Day #1171 "Grandma's Wallpaper" canvas. The tool lets users explore the canvas's patterns and turn any tile into a wallpaper for their computer or phone.

The announcement links to the app alongside a preview image, giving the community a new way to repurpose finished canvas art beyond the platform itself.

BasePaint's art auto-posting job now tags artists on Instagram when they post their canvas artwork, provided the artist has set their Instagram handle. The change was announced by @w1nt3r_eth and amplified by the official BasePaint account.

• Artists with an Instagram handle set get tagged automatically when their art is posted.
• This is a small platform improvement to the existing auto-posting workflow, not a new product feature.

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.
