A gallery for art that
lives onchain.
A curated marketplace for digital and generative art — works minted onchain, creator royalties enforced by the contract, provenance anyone can verify.
Securing 84,408 ETH of art onchain — held in collectors' own wallets, never by Plinth.
Every work, a page of its own.
Title, artist, edition, price — and a complete provenance record, every owner since the mint, written onchain.

From the studio to the wallet.
Four contract hops, each one public. The artist keeps a stake in the work for as long as it changes hands.
Artist mints onchain
A verified artist mints a work to the marketplace contract. The token, its metadata, and a royalty rule are set in one transaction.
→ PlinthMinter.mint()
Curated into a drop
The curation council groups the work into a themed drop, given a window and a page in the gallery. Nothing about the token changes.
→ PlinthMarket.list()
A collector buys
The buyer pays in one transaction. The work transfers straight to their wallet — Plinth never holds custody at any point.
→ PlinthMarket.buy()
Royalties, forever
On every resale, 7% routes back to the artist — enforced by the contract, not a policy that can be skipped.
→ RoyaltyRouter.split()
Built on an L2. Minting and collecting settle for cents in gas, not the tens of dollars a base-layer mint would cost.
avg. gas ≈ $0.014A marketplace built like a contract, not a policy.
Enforced creator royalties
The 7% royalty is written into the work's contract. It applies on every resale, on Plinth or anywhere else that honours the standard — not a setting a buyer can bypass.
Curated drops
Works are gathered into themed drops with a defined window. A curation council reviews every submission so the gallery stays considered, not a firehose.
Onchain generative rendering
For generative works, the image is produced by the contract from a seed — not a file uploaded after the fact. The code that draws the art is part of the token itself.
Low-gas minting
Plinth settles on an L2 rollup. Minting a work or collecting one costs cents, so editions and experiments don't carry a base-layer gas tax.
Provenance you can verify
Every owner a work has had is recorded onchain — mint, listing, each sale. The history on the artwork page is read straight from the chain, not a database we keep.
Non-custodial
A work you collect lands in your own wallet and stays there. Plinth is an interface to the contracts — it never takes custody of art or funds.
Apply to mint.
Plinth is curated, so artists join by application. Once you're in, your work is minted under your own contract and your royalty travels with it for every future sale.
- You set the edition size and royalty rate before minting.
- No listing fee — Plinth takes a flat 2.5% only when a work sells.
- Files are pinned to IPFS and Arweave on your behalf at mint time.

Curation review
The council reviews submissions on a rolling two-week cycle and replies either way.
Mint your work
Set the edition and royalty, then mint onchain from a wallet you control.
Join a drop
Your work is placed into a themed drop and given its own page in the gallery.
“The royalty just being part of the contract changed how I price work. I don't have to chase a marketplace's policy — it follows the piece.”

The art outlasts the interface.
Plinth's contracts are audited and verified. The artwork itself is stored on two independent networks, so the files persist whether or not this website does.
Every contract verified onchain — read the source yourself.
Stored on IPFS
Content-addressed · pinned by 6 nodes
Each work's image and metadata are addressed by their content hash. The hash is stored in the token, so the file can never be silently swapped for another.
Mirrored to Arweave
Permanent · pay-once storage
The same files are also written to Arweave, a network designed for permanent storage. They remain retrievable independently of Plinth, IPFS pinning, or any single host.
Non-custodial by design
Your keys · your work
A collected work sits in the buyer's wallet and a sale's proceeds go straight to the seller. Plinth's contracts hold neither — there is no Plinth account to be locked out of.
How a work earns its place.
Plinth is curated rather than open-listing. Two paths put work in front of collectors — a standing council, and the community itself.
The curation council
9 curatorsNine practising curators and artists review every submission on a rolling two-week cycle. They assess craft, originality, and fit for an upcoming drop — and they publish notes on what was selected.
Community curation
Open to allAny collector can surface a work to the council's queue and signal support for it. Works that gather broad community backing skip straight to a curator's desk for review — a way for the gallery to notice what the council might miss.

Asked & answered.
The things collectors and artists ask before their first mint. More in the docs.
Where is the actual artwork stored?
The image and metadata for every work are stored on IPFS, where they're addressed by a content hash, and mirrored to Arweave for permanence. The token onchain holds that hash. For onchain generative works, the rendering code lives in the contract itself, so the art can be regenerated from the chain alone.
Do artists really get royalties on resale?
Yes. The royalty — set by the artist, 7% by default — is encoded in the work's contract through the RoyaltyRouter. On Plinth, every resale routes that share to the artist automatically before the sale settles. Other venues that honour the on-chain royalty standard pay it too; it is a property of the token, not a Plinth setting.
What are the fees to mint and to sell?
Minting is free of any Plinth fee — you pay only L2 gas, which averages around $0.014 per transaction. When a work sells, Plinth takes a flat 2.5% of the sale price. There is no listing fee and no subscription. The artist's royalty is separate from, and additional to, the Plinth fee.
What chain does it run on, and why?
Plinth settles on an Ethereum L2 rollup. The rollup inherits Ethereum's security while keeping gas low — minting an edition or collecting a work costs cents rather than the tens of dollars a base-layer mint can run. That keeps the cost of putting art onchain small enough that it doesn't shape what artists make.
What happens to my collection if Plinth shuts down?
Your collection is unaffected. The works are tokens onchain, held by your own wallet, and their files live on IPFS and Arweave independently of this website. Plinth is only an interface to the contracts — if it disappeared, you would still own every work and could view, transfer, or sell it through the contracts or any other compatible marketplace.
