We built r/Place on the Ethereum L2, Base

Hi all,

Sharing here since there's some overlap between Reddit and Ethereum/EVM world! The TLDR is we built a version of r/Place as a rolling, open canvas that mints as an OE NFT the next day to reward artists who contribute.

How it Works:

• A shared canvas is created for 24 hours along with a new theme and new, limited color palette
• Artist collaborate to make amazing artwork.
• Artwork is minted as an OE NFT, profits are split based on their pixel contribution

So Far

• Over 27 ETH distributed to artists
• Over 12,000 OE NFTs minted
• 750+ contributing artists

There's some fun mechanisms with brushes (they're minted as NFTs as well with limited pixels etc) but I'll leave it as done. In case folks want to dive in:
