- Brush NFTs: Begin by minting your distinct brush, making each stroke a testament to your artistic flair.
- Canvas Timeframes: Each canvas has its moment. After its time ends, it locks, setting the stage for the minting process.
- Shared Rewards: When canvases are minted, all contributing artists reap rewards. The more participants in the minting, the bigger the shared bounty.

BasePaint launches as a daily collaborative pixel-art platform on Base's Onchain Summer
Founders w1nt3r.eth and Zach Herring shipped BasePaint in under two weeks to launch alongside Coinbase's Base L2 'Onchain Summer' push (Base opened to the public Aug 9, 2023). Artists mint NFT brushes and collaboratively paint a 24-hour CC0 canvas, which then locks and is minted as a 24-hour open-edition, with 90% of proceeds split among contributing artists by pixel share. A third-party article published Sep 27, 2023 referencing 'Day #48' places Day 1 around mid-August 2023; I could not verify a specific launch day.
