After weeks of development and testing, [mintbay] is proud to launch a brand-new smart contract designed specifically for fully on-chain generative art collections.

Inspired by the legacy of CryptoPunks, this new contract, paired with an intuitive frontend, makes it easier than ever to create, deploy, and collect fully on-chain pixel art across the Ethereum network.

Having deployed over 20 generative collections to date, I'm excited to finally share what I consider my "dream" dapp: a tool built for creators, collectors, and the future of decentralized art.

Fully on-chain NFT art is an art form in itself. Every image, every piece of metadata, it all lives directly on the blockchain. That means every byte matters. You have to craft the contract with care, because once it’s deployed, it’s there forever, like tattooing your artwork onto the chain.

Unlike NFTs that rely on IPFS or other decentralized storage solutions, fully on-chain art is truly immutable. It doesn’t depend on external nodes or gateways staying online. As long as Ethereum exists, your art exists: untouched, uncensorable, and indestructible.

This permanence creates unmatched provenance and security, giving collectors confidence and artists the best possible native brush: just pure, verifiable, enduring art.

Fully on-chain isn't just a technical choice - it’s a philosophical one. It's about preserving culture in code, forever.

Let’s talk about what you can expect from Mintbay 2.0.

While staying fully on-chain, Mintbay 2.0 is built to make creating a pixel art collection as easy and accessible as possible for everyone, no coding required.

You get full creative control over how your final collection looks and behaves. Set rules, define rarities, and shape your generative logic with precision. Whether you're an established artist or a newbee, Mintbay gives you the tools to make your vision real, directly on the blockchain.

We’ve also upgraded the minting experience with features like:

• Free mints

• Max mints per wallet

• Allowlist support

• Customizable mint pages — tweak colors, fonts, and layout to match your vibe

Mintbay 2.0 blends the permanence of on-chain art with the usability of modern web3 tools. This is how pixel art meets smart contracts: accessible, customizable, and unstoppable.

Mintbay 2.0 is currently live on Base Sepolia for testing and experimentation. We're preparing for our full launch on Base Mainnet very soon.

To stay up to date on our latest drops, releases, and launch news, follow us on Twitter.

This is more than just a tool, it’s our dream dapp. And we’re just getting started on Base and move to other ETH chain soon.

Thanks for being part of the journey.

Whether you're here to launch your first collection, push the limits of pixel art, or simply explore the future of on-chain creativity, you're in the right place.
