ArtSoul

ArtSoul is a discovery-first art auction protocol on Base where collector demand comes before minting.

Building the Future of Digital Ownership.

[ArtSoul @ArtSoulProtocol]

In 3 months, ArtSoul went from “what if?” to a live testnet on Base Sepolia.

Auctions, mint after settlement, profiles, trust signals, resale, docs, demo already there.

Not perfect, but no longer just an idea.
I’m building this every day.

GM, ArtSoul fam! 💙

Every great product is shaped by the people who use it.

If you're exploring our Base Sepolia testnet, keep the feedback coming. Every suggestion helps us build a better experience for artists and collectors.

Demand Before Minting.

Let's build together.

@Dzola17 @SommyWritesWeb3 When building the future, it's always worth considering the opinions of others. If you build and immediately release a finished product that people haven't seen at the previous stage, no one will look at problems that could have been avoided on the test network.

🚧 Beta Readiness
We've prepared testing guides, issue reporting, and clear go/no-go criteria for the next phase.
Current status remains NO-GO until every requirement is fully validated.
We're building carefully because trust matters.

🧵 ArtSoul Build Update

This week, we focused on making ArtSoul on Base Sepolia more reliable, secure, and ready for beta.

From stronger infrastructure to mobile wallet improvements and operational safeguards, here's what shipped and why it matters. 👇

[ArtSoul @ArtSoulProtocol]

📱 Mobile Wallets

We improved WalletConnect by rejecting stale sessions, strengthening sign-in permissions, and making wallet connections more reliable.

Real-device testing is still underway, so we're not calling it "done" until every check passes. Trust comes before speed.

[ArtSoul @ArtSoulProtocol]

Why should an NFT exist before anyone has shown they actually want it?

That's the assumption most marketplaces make.

ArtSoul asks a different question.

What if collector demand came first, and minting happened only after that demand was proven?

Demand Before Minting.

[ArtSoul @ArtSoulProtocol]

Question for artists and collectors:

Would you rather...

A) Mint first and hope collectors eventually find your work.

or

B) Let collectors discover your work first, validate demand through an auction, and mint only after successful settlement?

Curious where everyone stands.

✅ Testing & What's Next

This update passed 300+ Node tests, contract tests, PostgreSQL integration tests, and CI across Windows and Ubuntu.

Next up: staff review tools, audit UI, notifications, and public homepage metrics.

🧵Artsoul build Update

This week was all about making ArtSoul on Base Sepolia more reliable, secure, and easier to trust.

From infrastructure upgrades to better provenance, safer actions, and the first steps toward moderation, here's what shipped. 👇

[ArtSoul @ArtSoulProtocol]

We strengthened Base-only actions with extra account verification and laid the groundwork for copyright reporting with wallet signatures, rate limits, and secure review safeguards.

Moderation is becoming more thoughtful, without affecting legitimate creators.

[ArtSoul @ArtSoulProtocol]

Other improvements include better account stability, cleaner mobile layout, and reduced unnecessary RPC calls.

All of this makes the testnet feel more solid as we keep building.

Network handling is now clearer and more truthful.

We show your real connected network and require Base Sepolia before protected actions. No more confusing switches or duplicated options.
