Fuelarts x BitBasel | The Artists & Collectors Polkadot Hub to onboard 2000+ new & engaged users, 300+ projects and 10K+ transactions
Beneficiary:Summary: Fuelarts and BitBasel have refined their previous proposal for Polkadot, integrating community feedback to address the ecosystem's needs. We propose a structured 6-month educational program bridging artists, collectors and brands in the NFT 2.0 space. Building on Polkadot's significant 2024 growth — where transactions tripled and NFT minting set records — the milestone-based proposal fosters supply and demand plus a revenue-sharing model back to the treasury. This strategy enhances sustainability and transparency, aiming to develop a thriving community of artists and collectors, and solidify a leadership role for Polkadot within this $1.7 Trillion Asset Class.
A discussion document has been posted ahead of the treasury proposal submission.
Tl;dr Amount requested: $316K USDT
The project was presented on AAG #216 on March 20 (video starts at the presentation segment):

Polkadot has built an exceptional blockchain infrastructure — but adoption depends on engagement. Now comes the real challenge — activating both supply and demand. We need artists, collectors, brands and investors to engage with the ecosystem. This initiative closes the gap, equipping artists and collectors with the tools to bring NFT 2.0 to life.
We invite you to review our proposal, collaborate with us, and be part of shaping the future of creative technology on Polkadot.
Watch us live at AAG sessions in the coming weeks and ask your questions in real time! Thank you.

To everyone:
To support, explain, and discuss our vision, we’re hosting a group discussion / AMA panel tomorrow — Tuesday, April 14 at 10 AM EST / 4 PM CET. Everyone is welcome! Please find the details below:
Join us for a live discussion on the future of NFTs beyond the hype, with unique perspectives from pioneers across Web3, digital art, and decentralized platforms.
Following the release of The Art Market 2025 report by Art Basel & UBS, this webinar brings together leading experts to unpack what the numbers really mean for the NFT ecosystem — and to offer concrete paths forward for creators, collectors, and investors.
For the first time, the report’s NFT section was written by an external digital asset think tank — NFT18.com — signaling both a shift in perception and a professionalization of the field. The data is sobering, but not surprising: marketplace closures, declining wallet activity, and shrinking sales across the board.
Fuelarts and BitBasel have teamed up to address this reset moment — not as an obituary, but as a blueprint for what comes next.
In this conversation, we will explore:
