Current Hall epoch
A newly minted Artwork can appear in the matching current-epoch Hall. Older ArtworkNFTs remain tradable and yield-capable but are not carried into a new active Hall epoch.

The creator path
A CreArt Artist begins with BrushNFT membership, creates a limited number of active CanvasNFT workspaces, paints on desktop, spends a FrameNFT to mint one ArtworkNFT, enters the matching Hall, and maintains a public identity and yield path.
Step 1 — Choose a Brush membership
| Tier | Supply | Public mint price | Original-minter frame credits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Silver | 10,000 | 0.01 ETH | 7 Silver credits per Brush |
| Gold | 9,000 | 0.02 ETH | 5 Gold credits per Brush |
| Diamond | 8,000 total; 7,000 public + 1,000 reserved | Starts at 0.03 ETH; +0.005 ETH each 500 public mints | 3 Diamond credits per Brush |
Public minting is limited to 2 Brushes per wallet per tier. Free frame credits belong to the original minter and do not transfer with a secondary-market Brush.
BrushNFT is the artist key, not the painting. Secondary owners keep membership access and current-owner utilities, while original-minter credits stay with the original minting wallet.
Step 2 — Open the Artist Dashboard
The dashboard detects Brush ownership on Base and unlocks the creator destinations. Use it as the command center for Canvas creation, Paint, Artwork minting, profile, Halls, and Yield.
- Connect the wallet that currently owns the Brush.
- Confirm Base Mainnet.
- Refresh the ownership read after a new mint or transfer.
- Use the Dashboard links instead of manually guessing routes.
Step 3 — Create a Canvas
Each wallet may hold up to 3 active Canvas workspaces. A Canvas is consumed when it is used to mint an ArtworkNFT, freeing one active slot. One Canvas cannot mint duplicate artworks.
Canvas creation is an on-chain transaction. Keep a small amount of Base ETH for gas and wait for confirmation before creating another Canvas.
Step 4 — Paint on desktop
The Paint studio is optimized for desktop creation. Select a Canvas, start the editor, and use brush tools, presets, fill, eyedropper, shapes, text, layers, undo/redo, autosave, frame preview, and PNG export.
- Select the intended Canvas.
- Choose portrait or landscape before painting locks the setup.
- Use autosave, but also export a PNG before minting.
- Choose the frame preview tier that matches the intended Artwork tier.
- Use the Mint action to continue with the prepared artwork.
Step 5 — Obtain a FrameNFT
A FrameNFT is the mint key consumed by ArtworkNFT. Paid Frame minting requires the wallet to hold at least one Brush. The selected frame tier determines the Artwork tier and Hall destination. Tier-specific free credits can mint matching frames without the ETH frame price.
| Paid frame | 50% of ETH goes to the matching Hall prize pool; the remainder goes to Treasury. |
|---|---|
| Free-credit frame | Consumes the wallet’s tier-specific original-minter credit and mints a real FrameNFT. |
| At Artwork mint | One FrameNFT is burned/consumed together with the selected Canvas. |
Step 6 — Mint the ArtworkNFT
- Load the prepared PNG from Paint.
- Select the correct active Canvas.
- Select the intended Frame tier.
- Approve Canvas and Frame contracts when requested.
- Upload the artwork and build metadata.
- Confirm the Artwork mint transaction.
- Open BaseScan/OpenSea links and verify the minted token.
The ArtworkNFT stores its permanent mint timestamp and tier. The Canvas is consumed and the Frame is burned for the mint.
After minting
Public profile
Publish a tier-eligible avatar and username, then share the public profile and portfolio route.
Yield
The current owner can use the Yield page to discover owned Brush/Artwork IDs and claim generated CreArt Coins.
Marketplaces
ArtworkNFT and BrushNFT ownership can move on secondary markets. Current-owner access and claim checks follow on-chain ownership.
Creator safety and common errors
| Dashboard locked | Confirm the connected wallet currently owns a Brush and is on Base Mainnet. |
|---|---|
| Maximum Canvas count | Mint an Artwork from an active Canvas to consume it and free a slot. |
| Frame balance is zero | Mint a paid Frame or convert an available free credit into a real FrameNFT. |
| Upload fails | Retry the signed Pinata upload flow, preserve the PNG, and do not repeat the on-chain mint until metadata preparation succeeds. |
| Approval pending | Check BaseScan and wait for confirmation before retrying. |
