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.
