Getting started: what artsunami is, and who it is for
artsunami is a place to create, collect and trade art on-chain: digital art, coded art, real-world pieces and coins. Every work is signed by its artist's wallet, owned by its collector and kept on-chain. Browsing is free; a wallet lets you collect and post; a one-time creator code lets you publish.
Read →Groups: talk digital art, share your work
Groups are public rooms about digital art: artists and crypto artists, NFT and PFP collections, the news, and digital art festivals around the world. Join one in a tap, chat with its members and share your works and posts into it.
Read →Coins on Base: launch and trade
A coin is a token that trades live from its first second on a bonding curve on Base, pump.fun style: a picture or a GIF, a name and a ticker, a live chart, an order book, a chat, and Buy / Sell right in the feed.
Read →Formats
Generative PFP collections
Layered avatar collections (Punks, Pudgy, Azuki style). Drag a folder of trait images, set rarities, generate up to 10,000 unique digital artworks in your browser, deploy ERC-721A.
Read →Animated PFP collections
Same as standard PFP but with animated GIF traits. Each output is an animated GIF. Capped at 1,500 works because the encoder is far heavier per token than the static path.
Read →Physical-digital pairings
A digital edition tied to a real-world object. Collectors fill a shipping form after collecting; the creator manages claims + tracking from the dashboard.
Read →1-of-1 English auctions
One unique digital art auctioned with a reserve price, anti-snipe time-extension, on-chain settlement and automatic refunds for outbid bidders.
Read →Limited editions (ERC-1155 open mint)
One artwork, multi-edition, fixed price during a window. Optional per-wallet cap.
Read →Generative art (code-driven)
Publish a single deterministic p5.js / Three.js / vanilla-JS script. Each token's hash is generated on-chain at mint time and rendered in a sandboxed iframe by every marketplace.

Whitelist (Merkle allowlist)
An allowlist is a snapshot of addresses authorised to mint during a private phase. artsunami stores it as a Merkle root in the contract - gas-efficient, no on-chain CSV.
Read →Launch date & mint window
Every mintable contract on artsunami takes a start and end Unix timestamp. The wizards expose them as datetime pickers; the public mint page reads the contract and shows Upcoming / Live / Closed automatically.
Read →Anti-bot (per-wallet caps)
maxPerWallet is the cap each address can mint across the lifetime of the contract. Set it low (1, 2, 3) for fair distribution; set it to 0 for unlimited.
Read →Special trait (PFP holder utility)
When you build a PFP collection, you can mark a small set of token IDs as carrying a special trait. Holders of those tokens unlock extra rights: claiming a free digital art from another collection, or burning their PFP to claim tokens.
Read →Claim (special-trait holders)
A claim is the non-burn flavour of the special-trait utility. The holder keeps their PFP and pulls one digital art from a partner collection.
Read →Burn-to-claim (PFP → tokens)
The destructive flavour of the special-trait utility. The holder sends their PFP to the burn address; the helper mints them ERC-20 tokens linked to the collection's bonding curve.
Read →Community spam reports
Anyone browsing the aggregator can flag a contract as spam. Once enough distinct users report it, the contract is auto-blocked across /profile, /gallery and /trade - without us having to play moderator.

What is a token? (vs a digital artwork)
A token is fungible: every unit is identical and interchangeable, like dollars in a bank account. A digital artwork is one-of-a-kind. On artsunami, a token is a Coin: an ERC-20 on Base that trades live on a bonding curve from its first second.
Read →Bonding curves, plain English
A bonding curve is a math formula encoded in the token contract that quotes a buy price and a sell price at any moment. As more tokens are bought, the price goes up. As tokens are sold back, the price goes down. No order book, no human market-maker.
Read →Graduation to Uniswap (the liquidity migration)
Once enough ETH has been bought into the bonding curve (~4 ETH), the coin 'graduates': the curve closes, and the accumulated ETH plus a reserved slice of supply move into a Uniswap V2 pool on Base whose LP tokens are burnt, so no one can pull the liquidity.
Read →Platform fees
Two fees only. Creators pay storage at deploy time. Secondary trades that settle on the artsunami gallery pay 5 % to the platform plus the creator's royalty. Primary mints are not taxed.
Read →Royalties (EIP-2981 + RevenueSplitter)
Every contract supports EIP-2981 - the royalty rate (in basis points) and receiver are baked in at deploy. For multi-creator collections, route the receiver through a RevenueSplitter contract.
Read →RevenueSplitter (multi-creator collections)
Deploy a single splitter contract with N (address, share) pairs. Use it as the withdraw receiver for mint funds and / or the EIP-2981 royalty receiver for secondary trades. Each beneficiary can pull at will.
Read →Gallery & Agency memberships
Two admin-validated professional account types (Gallery, Agency) at 0.03 Ξ/month - or yearly with 2 months free. Paying unlocks métier features immediately; the verified badge is granted after a short admin review.

Read →The island: your gallery on La Croisette
artsunami island is a 2D pixel-art island in a Miami Beach style, full screen at /island. Every member has a gallery on La Croisette, the promenade along the beach, with as many floors as they like and the works they choose on the walls.
Read →Trait editor
Drag-drop layered editor for PFP collections. Folder import, rarity sliders, exclusion rules, live preview, full-batch render, .nami project files.
Read →Use your own domain for the Collect page
Point a .com you already own (hoodlrz.com, mycollection.art, anything) at your artsunami.com/c/<slug> Collect page using a 308 redirect on your registrar's DNS. No paid plan, no platform change.
Read →Test on Sepolia before deploying to mainnet
Every project has a Network toggle (Testnet / Mainnet) inside the chain picker. Testnet = free practice deploy with real block-explorer + marketplace presence but zero monetary value. Mainnet = the real release. Recommended path is always testnet first.
