Welcome to issue #3 of the Mintbay newsletter.

Mintbay is a minting platform that lets you create and collect fully on-chain editions on Base. Every piece you mint is a ERC-721, stored completely on-chain, permanent and collectible.

New Art

This week brings a fresh wave of stunning creations. Even within the tiny bounds of a 9x9 canvas, artists are telling their stories, proving that great art needs no limits

Here’s a small curated selection from this week’s standout drops:

BayBatches Update

The Base Buildathon is in full swing, and Mintbay is joining the momentum with our first miniapp: BayBatches.

Built natively for Warpcast, BayBatches makes it incredibly simple to create and collect fully on-chain artworks using the Mintbay contract. The app is designed with ease and aesthetics in mind, offering a playful and intuitive experience.

BayBatches features three key sections: Create, Collect, and a Leaderboard, all integrated with Warpcast’s social graph. This setup encourages community participation while showcasing contributions in real-time.

At its core, BayBatches is about lowering the barrier to creativity. It invites everyone to take part in Base Batches, making it fun, accessible, and social to mint your presence onchain. With low fees, seamless creation, and a spirit of collaboration, it embodies the Base vision of bringing people onchain through joyful, shared experiences.

BayBatches is currently being tested on Base Sepolia, and we expect it to launch on mainnet next week. We can’t wait to see what you’ll create.

Thanks for being part of the journey.

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