MINTBASE HISTORY: HOW DID WE GET HERE?

When people access Mintbase.io they see a marketplace to mint NFTs. But it is
much more than that. This article offers a possibility to understand the
trajectory of Mintbase and what we aim to achieve.

Since 2020 NFTs have been recognized as a way to market art in a new
revolutionary way, without middlemen and with royalties being redirected to the
artist every time this NFT is sold again.

At Mintbase, we welcome the attention NFTs got because of the artistic boom, but
we see so much more potential in the technology beyond the art market.

It all started in 2018, when Nate Geier went to Prague and hacked Mintbase, then
called AllTheThings in two days. If you want to know more about Nate, check out
the Nate-NFT on Mintbase and read the description!

As for now, we are a team of 10. How did that happen? Continue reading to find
out.


Luis Infante, Microchipgnu, Regina, Rui, Maria, João, Marcelo, Nate, Caro. Our
rust developer hates the internet.

After Prague, Nate went to Berlin and met Carolin Wend — who was working for the
German Government at that time. More info about Caro in the Caro-NFT. At the
beginning of 2019, AllTheThings was rebranded to Mintbase. The company was
incorporated, with Nate and Carolin as Co-Founders.

All of this happened on Ethereum. The first transaction on Mintbase happened on
July 5th 2019 — on Ethereum and the use-case of that was ticketing for
MetaCartel at Berlin Blockchain week.

By 2020 the fees on Ethereum had reached absurdities, and since Mintbase always
had the focus on empowering a new financial system based on NFT tech, staying
solely on eth just did not make sense anymore. At this point, Mintbase was
already a full functioning toolkit on Ethereum, with stripe payment implemented,
the easy creation of customizable smart contracts in place and a whole world of
possibilities open.

In August 2020 Mintbase was transforming and re-writing the code on NEAR — Near
had gone live in April 2020. Therefore Mintbase is pioneering NFT toolkits and
utility NFTs on NEAR.

The sustainability, scalability and security of NEAR were decisive in the move
from Ethereum to NEAR. Near always had the intent to be a collective, a
foundation and a blockchain, in this sense it makes sense that NEAR was
interested in the creation of a guild associated with Mintbase. That was when
Createbase was born, in November 2020, when Mintbase was not even live on
mainnet yet. Createbase was rebranded to MintbaseDAO on the 09.12.2021

By May 2021, Mintbase went live — creating its Store-Factory — the code that
permits the creation of smart contracts in 3 clicks on Mintbase.io.

After having spent two years in Berlin, Nate and Caro had enough and moved to
sunny Lisbon in November 2020. The beautiful city and beaches just spoke louder
than Germany’s cold winters and hard bureaucracy. This is the moment when
Mintbase started growing, with more people joining the team and more functions
being added to the already really powerful Mintbase protocol. With Art NFTs
suddenly booming, Mintbase started growing its artistic community too.


Caro and Nate when they moved to Lisbon in November 2020

Mintbase Protocol continued evolving, adding features and tools e.g. the
addition and removal of minters on your smart contract, the configuration of
default royalties and revenues to every transaction that happens on that smart
contract, and the possibility to add up to 50 wallets into the royalty and
revenue splits of each NFT. These tools are a very fertile soil for businesses
to move to Blockchain, permitting many different business models to take place
100% on-chain.

Another very new feature (added in November 2021) is that Mintbase is now able
to process thousands of NFT’s at the same time, opening even more possibilities
than before. This super powerful toolkit is ready to be used. Check Forbes
article on Deadmau5 and Portugal. The man’s release of 1.000.000 NFTs on
Mintbase.

Mintbase stands as a very powerful tool for all those who want to integrate NFT
transactions into their businesses and everyday life. We are working to be your
tech partner behind the scenes, making it possible for you to integrate your
marketplace into your website, game, or metaverse.
