Mintbase - enabling easy set up of NFT stores on blockchain
Mintbase is a blockchain-based platform that allows anyone to create their own NFT store. Once the user creates a store, they can mint, then sell or auction their creations on the platform itself or on third-party marketplaces. Each store is a smart contract that the user can deploy with a few clicks, and Mintbase offers many customization options for the NFTs. Mintbase has loads of educational content to help get the user acclimated with NFTs and smart contracts, minting is cheap with NEAR, and the user can sell the NFTs on outside marketplaces.
Mintbase runs on both the Ethereum blockchain and the NEAR protocol. The launch and integration of NEAR allows the process of creating a store and populating it with NFTs much more accessible to creators. After minting NFTs, they can be listed for sale on third-party NFT marketplaces such as OpenSea, or within their own store on Mintbase. It calls itself the "Shopify of NFTs" due to the ease of creating and selling items. Mintbase is compatible with both blockchains, but not simultaneously. So if the user chooses to use eth.Mintbase.io, then the user will pay fees in ETH. If the user chooses to use mintbase.io, then the user will pay fees in NEAR. If the user chooses the NEAR Mainnet, the user will need a NEAR Wallet or a NEAR-compatible wallet, which the user can create on Mintbase.
If the user makes a store on Mintbase, the user is automatically given their own virtual metaverse gallery, in collaboration with 3XR. This is a unique feature of Mintbase. A 3XR space is automatically generated and filled with the user’s NFTs. The user can select a template for the gallery, customize the information and even mint the space as an NFT with the help of the CreateThing feature. With the CreateThing feature, the user can also create gated spaces and limit access to specific custom spaces, basically requiring guests to have a token (like a ticket) to enter the gated space.
Nate Geier is the founder of Mintbase. Mintbase has raised a total of $13.5M in funding.
