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.
The concept
Three verbs. CREATE: publish a single piece, an edition, a physical work with its token, a generative collection, a PFP collection or a coin - each with a step-by-step flow. COLLECT: mint and buy with your own wallet; what you collect is yours on the blockchain, on your profile, resellable anywhere. TRADE & TALK: a live feed of releases and posts, messages and private previews, and coins that trade on a bonding curve with a live chart and chat.
How it works, in four steps
1. Connect a wallet - a browser extension (MetaMask, Phantom, Rabby, Brave, Frame) or, with no wallet at all, a passkey wallet from Coinbase / Base (no app, no seed phrase). 2. Pick a format in Create: Real World Asset, Digital Art, Coded Art, NFT collection or Coin. 3. Publish on-chain: you sign one transaction; the contract is yours and artsunami holds neither the art nor the money. 4. Share and earn: post it to the feed, sell at your price (0.01 ETH minimum) and earn royalties (EIP-2981) on resales.
Who it is for
Digital artists and illustrators (Digital Art: one-of-ones and editions). Creative coders (Coded Art: generative art, interactive works and video games, 100% on-chain on Ethereum, XRP or Tezos). Painters, photographers and makers (Real World Asset: the object ships, the token proves ownership). Collection builders (NFT collection: trait layers combined into thousands of pieces). Collectors (the feed, one-signature collecting, a public profile). Communities (Coin: a coin on Base in a minute).
The home page
Not connected, / is the landing page: what artsunami is, how it works, who it is for, and a Connect button. Connected, / is your feed. The feed is always at /feed, wallet or not, so you can look around before you connect.
Accounts and the creator code
Your wallet is your account - there is no password. Browsing needs nothing; collecting and posting need a connected wallet. Publishing your own work needs a creator code once: follow @artsunami on X and send it a DM asking for one, then enter it when you create your account.
Nami lives at the top of the Help center. It knows every topic in this center and can walk you through your specific collection, wallet or transaction.
