Get yourself set up and start on Bassmint!

A step-by-step guide to getting a wallet, funding it, and minting your first asset on Counterparty.

1

Get a Bitcoin wallet

Get a Bitcoin wallet using Freewallet.io. Download the desktop app — Mac users will need to enable it in their security settings. Open it, choose Create New Wallet, and write down the 12-word passphrase you are given.

WRITE THIS DOWN, KEEP THIS SAFE, NEVER EVER SHARE THIS WITH ANYONE.

Find your Counterparty-enabled BTC address under Address Actions > View Address. Keep both your passphrase and your private keys safe.

2

Fund your Freewallet with BTC

Fund your Freewallet with BTC. Open the Address tab and choose View Address to reveal a QR code and address. Send BTC to it.

Keep a minimum of around 0.0005 BTC (~$20) in the wallet to avoid “insufficient funds” errors when transacting.

3

Mint your first Bassmint asset

Create your track metadata JSON at easyasset.art. Fill in the form, click Create Asset JSON, and set the JSON URL via Change Asset Description.

Create the asset from an address holding a minimum of 0.5 XCP plus BTC fees (around $50).

  • Asset names: 4–12 characters, and cannot start with the letter ‘A’.
  • Only LOCKED, NON-DIVISIBLE assets are accepted on Bassmint.
  • Check and correct your supply before locking — supply cannot be increased after the lock.
  • Lock issuance, then set the correct JSON URL in the description. The description itself stays editable.

⛓ Fully on-chain: Bitcoin Stamps

When you see the On-chain · STAMP badge on a release, its artwork is a Bitcoin Stamp — the image is stored directly on the Bitcoin blockchain, not on a website or a regular file host. It can never be taken down, changed, or lost.

  • • Permanent art. The cover lives in Bitcoin itself, forever — the strongest guarantee a digital collectible can have.
  • • Art on-chain, audio on Arweave. Music files are too large to put on Bitcoin affordably, so a Bassmint Stamp pairs on-chain art with permanent Arweave audio.
  • • Same wallet, same flow. Stamps are still Counterparty assets — you collect, hold, and trade them exactly like any other Bassmint release.

Stamp releases are Bassmint’s premium, fully-on-chain tier and get featured placement on the home page.
