We built a digital art marketplace to help everyday creators own their work and earn directly.

But no one used it.
Not because the product was broken
But because we built it on the wrong chain.

Here’s why we left Solana and rebuilt on Base:


Our goal was simple:
Make it easy for artists, illustrators, and designers to mint and sell their work without middlemen.

We launched on Solana.
Fast. Cheap. Scalable.
Everything we thought we needed.
But we missed one thing: the user.

The feedback came fast:

I don’t know how to set up a wallet.
“Where do I even get SOL?
“It feels sketchy.

Our creators weren’t degen traders.

They were students, freelancers, parents,

People who wanted to try Web3, but couldn’t

 get through the door.

This is so deep, and quite relatable, base truely is home
