Everything collectors and artists want to know about GalleryMint.
Bob Ross painted over 1,000 canvases in his lifetime. When he died, a legal battle unfolded over his name, his likeness, and the rights to his work. Many people close to him declined to participate in a documentary about it — out of fear of legal repercussions. The corporation that had managed his business ended up controlling virtually everything.
The core problem: Bob painted. Other people controlled the business. And when he was gone, he had no way to prove what was his, or to ensure that future sales of his work would benefit the people he cared about.
NFTs solve this. Every edition minted on GalleryMint is a permanent, unforgeable record on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain — tied to your name, your artwork, your wallet. No corporation can take that. No business partner can dispute it. No estate battle can erase it. The blockchain is the certificate, the receipt, and the provenance record all in one — and it lives as long as the internet does.
Bob Ross didn't have this option. You do.
A digital edition is a limited-print for the internet age. Just like a numbered lithograph — "Edition 3 of 50" — a digital edition is a unique, numbered token that proves you own a specific copy of an artwork. Only a set number can ever exist.
Unlike a physical print, your edition lives on the blockchain, so it can never be lost, faked, or separated from its provenance record.
You can screenshot the Mona Lisa, too. That doesn't make you the owner.
Edition #3 of 50 is the signature. The blockchain is the certificate. Anyone can look at a painting — only one person owns it. Your edition number and the transaction record are yours, cryptographically, forever.
Two ways:
At an art fair or gallery: Download the GalleryMint app, open the Collect tab, and tap your phone to the NFC card next to the artwork. Your edition is minted instantly.
In the app: Browse artists and artworks in the Discover section. Tap any artwork and use the Buy Edition button to purchase directly.
The NFC card contains a cryptographic chip that proves you were physically present and tapped that specific card. Think of it like a wax seal on a letter — it's unforgeable proof that ties the physical moment to your digital edition.
Each card is unique. The chip uses military-grade cryptography that can't be cloned or faked. It's the same technology used in passports and bank cards.
No. The GalleryMint app creates your collection automatically. Your digital editions live in the app — no seed phrases, no exchanges, no crypto knowledge required.
If you're already a crypto user, you can export your collection to any compatible Bitcoin Cash wallet.
Your ownership record lives on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain — not on our servers. Even if GalleryMint disappeared tomorrow, your edition still exists on-chain and can be verified by any blockchain explorer or compatible wallet.
That's the point of blockchain: the record doesn't belong to any company. It belongs to the network.
Collect what you love — that's always been the right reason to collect art. A first-edition Charizard Pokémon card sold for $420,000. A digital artwork by Beeple sold at Christie's for $69 million. People have always paid for verified, limited-edition things they love.
The blockchain makes your ownership verifiable and permanent, which is what gives limited editions their lasting value. Early collectors of any art form have historically done well — but the primary reason to collect is that you love the work.
Minting your work creates a permanent, public record that you made it — with a timestamp, your name, and a provenance chain that can never be altered. It's the difference between a handshake and a signed contract.
It also opens a new revenue stream. Digital editions give collectors something they can't get from a photo — a verified, numbered piece that proves their connection to your work.
You upload your artwork, set edition limits and pricing, and GalleryMint handles everything else — the NFC cards, the minting, the collector experience, and payouts to your Bitcoin Cash address.
At an art fair, you place an NFC card next to your artwork. Collectors tap and collect. In-app purchases let collectors buy editions anytime, anywhere.
For in-app purchases, artist earnings are paid out weekly in Bitcoin Cash (BCH) to the payout address you set in your account settings. The BCH exchange rate is locked in at the time of each sale, so you always know exactly what you'll receive.
The fee split for in-app purchases: 15% to Apple, 5% to GalleryMint, 80% to you.
Most artists on GalleryMint offer between 100 and 1,000 editions per artwork. Fewer editions = greater scarcity = higher perceived value. More editions = accessible to more collectors.
Think of it like a print run: a 50-edition run feels exclusive; a 500-edition run feels like a broad collector series. There's no wrong answer — it depends on the artwork and your audience.
GalleryMint mints editions as CashToken NFTs on the Bitcoin Cash blockchain. Bitcoin Cash was chosen for its low transaction fees (fractions of a cent per mint) and its long-running, battle-tested network.
Each edition is a real on-chain token — not a pointer to a database record. It's yours permanently.
