What is the “Mint Moment” Initiative?

We’re excited to announce the launch of the "Mint Moment" initiative at Dune, a new feature that allows you to mint data visualizations as NFTs, capturing significant moments in onchain data. This initiative, in collaboration with Base and Zora, is designed to reward onchain creators and analysts, providing them with new revenue streams while enabling you to own and trade pieces of crypto history.
‍
Whether you’re a data enthusiast or just looking to support your favorite creators, Mint Moment offers a unique way to engage with the onchain world.

“Onchain data is living, breathing, and always updating, but certain moments in time represent something special. With Dune's new Mint Moment functionality, anyone can forever capture and collect the data of the moment while also paying their gratitude to the creators behind the insight.” Fredrik Haga, CEO and Cofounder of Dune.

"We are thrilled to partner with Dune on the Mint Moment initiative. This project not only empowers onchain creators by offering them new revenue streams but also brings the excitement of Onchain Summer to a broader audience. It's an innovative way to celebrate and monetize the valuable insights that drive our industry forward." – Jesse Pollak, Creator of Base.

For Creators: How to Get Involved

Adding Your Wallet

To participate in Mint Moment, creators need to have a wallet connected to their Dune account. Your wallet address is the key to receiving rewards from the NFTs minted from your charts. If you’re working in a team, the team can add a shared wallet as well, ensuring everyone involved gets rewarded.

• What happens if you don’t connect your wallet?
  If your wallet isn’t connected, your charts won’t be eligible for minting. It’s essential to ensure your wallet is linked so we know who to payout. We’ve also now added wallet support for teams.
  
• Already connected?
  If you’ve already connected your wallet, all proceeds from mints will automatically transfer into the Zora Rewards contract where you can claim them at any time.
• Don’t want to participate?
  If you’ve connected a wallet but prefer not to join the reward program, you have the option to opt-out.

Earnings from Mints

For each mint of your chart, you’ll receive 0.000333ETH. The more mints your chart receives, the more you earn. This direct support from the community not only rewards your hard work but also encourages the continued creation and sharing/distribution of valuable insights.

For Minters: Why You Should Mint

Support Your Favorite Creator

By minting charts as NFTs, you’re directly supporting the creators behind the data. There’s no limit to how many single/total charts you can mint, so feel free to collect as many as you like. Each mint contributes to the creator’s earnings, rewarding them for their contribution to the community.

Own a Piece of History

When you mint a chart, you’re capturing an important moment in onchain history. Whether it’s a significant milestone like Base hitting 500M in transaction volume or a unique visualization that resonates with you, these NFTs can be treasured as part of your digital collection or traded on various platforms.

How to Mint a Chart as an NFT

Minting a chart on Dune is a simple and rewarding process. Here’s how you can get started:

1. Explore Charts: Browse through the various charts and data visualizations available on Dune. Once you find a chart you want to mint, click on it to view the details.

2. Connect Your Wallet: Ensure that your wallet is connected to Dune. This wallet will be used to store your newly minted NFT. If you don’t have a wallet connected, you’ll be prompted to do so before proceeding.

3. Mint the Chart: Once your wallet is connected, you’ll see the option to mint the chart as an NFT. Click on the "Mint" button and confirm the transaction in your wallet. The process will require a small gas fee on top of the Zora mint fee (.000777ETH), so make sure you have enough ETH to cover it.

4. View Your NFT: After the transaction is confirmed, your newly minted NFT will appear in your wallet. You can view it, trade it on Zora or other NFT marketplaces, or simply hold onto it as part of your digital collection.
