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

For the metadata, set your asset’s description to its Bassmint metadata URL via Change Asset Description:

https://bassmint.wtf/api/metadata/YOUR_ASSET

Bassmint hosts your metadata permanently from the details you submit — no third-party generator needed (the old easyasset.art is retired).

  • 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 your bassmint.wtf/api/metadata/… URL in the description. The description stays editable even after locking.

⛓ 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.
