Why are you participating for Based India?

We’re participating in Based India to connect with the Web3 community, explore Base, and help create decentralized solutions for the local community. It's an opportunity to strengthen our understanding of blockchain, contribute to India’s decentralized ecosystem, and be part of the movement shaping the future of Web3 in India.

What challenges are you focusing on?

Local artists and creators have limited access to global markets. Many talented individuals struggle to showcase and sell their work beyond their immediate communities. We are focused on removing the barrier and bridging the two by providing a platform with a UI of a web2 site as these people are more familiar to that.

How does your submission address this challenge?

With the help of Base, we're building a decentralized platform that allows artists to easily tokenize their creations and reach a broader audience. This opens up new revenue streams and opportunities for creators to thrive in the global digital economy, while also empowering them to maintain full ownership and control of their work. Using NFT-Haus local creators can easily tokenize and sell their art as NFTs. By enabling artists to market a wide range of creations—such as music, digital art, and artifacts—NFT-Haus breaks down the barriers to global exposure and revenue generation. The platform empowers creators to directly connect with a worldwide audience, bypassing traditional gatekeepers, and ensuring they retain full ownership of their work. This not only fosters greater economic opportunities but also promotes local culture and creativity on a global scale.

Challenges we ran into

One challenge we faced was integrating smart contracts for minting and airdropping NFTs. As beginners, understanding how to set up and deploy these contracts on Base felt overwhelming at first.

Creating a user-friendly interface for artists to mint and sell NFTs was a key challenge. We aimed to abstract Web3 complexities, ensuring that even those unfamiliar with blockchain could easily navigate the platform.

Kudos to the team for pulling all-nighters to balance academic submissions while bringing NFT-Haus to life!
