A new era begins.
Three years ago, we set out to build a platform that empowered creators and made digital assets on Bitcoin accessible to everyone. We built a platform that fostered artistic expression, nurtured vibrant communities, and provided a secure, reliable marketplace for collectors and traders.
Today, we're thrilled to announce the biggest upgrade in Gamma's history – a beta preview of a brand new Gamma experience, rebuilt from the ground up.
A Platform for Everyone
Customizable Experience: A new quick action bar allows you to select one of three views, tailoring the app to prioritize the information or visuals that matter most to you.
Rich Data-Driven Views: Access detailed analytics and insights to make informed decisions and track global charts, your portfolio, or your project’s performance.
Unified Profile: Seamlessly manage your profile across Bitcoin L1 and Stacks L2, ensuring a consistent experience. Soon, you’ll be able to merge several addresses into a single profile, showcasing your work across multiple hot or cold wallets.
Artwork-Centered Detail Pages: Experience artwork as it was intended. With a minimalist and immersive museum-style item details page, we eliminate distractions and highlight each piece’s intricacies and artistry.
As a token of our appreciation for your continued support, Gamma Summer Pass holders will enjoy exclusive early access and be among the first to explore these exciting new features, with many more updates to be released to the public over the coming weeks and months.

Gamma Partner Program
Our Gamma Partner artists are up to incredible things.
Earlier this week, we showcased some of our Partners at the Inscribing Summit in Singapore.
Additionally, a big congratulations to Australian Partner artist Timmboslice for getting published on the front cover of Australian Geographic. Check out some of his works on Gamma.
Partner of the week - Zoe
Welcome to another Featured Artist of the Week, a series highlighting remarkable artists creating Ordinals through the Gamma Partner Program! Today, we meet Zoe Louise, a fine artist from New Zealand who is “articulating the untouchable.”
Zoe creates art that lives ephemerally in the physical world, but lasts forever preserved on BTC. Zoe literally creates with her hands, making her artwork very visceral, and at times, emotionally challenging to create. For what people can't see from the outside, Zoe showcases herself through her art.
In a recent conversation with Zoe, we discussed emotion, experience, process and more. You can listen to our entire conversation in the following interview:
Make sure to follow Zoe as she continues to conceptualize decay and preservation on Bitcoin!

Ordinals Spotlight: Pixel Passion 👾
Pixel art is a form of digital art where images are created with carefully placed pixels, evoking the visual style of early video games. This art form gained prominence during the 8-bit and 16-bit eras of gaming, with iconic names like Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda showcasing the charm of simple, blocky graphics.
Despite its minimalism, pixel art captures a sense of nostalgia, transporting viewers back to the early days of gaming when vibrant characters and imaginative worlds were built from a limited palette of colors and pixels. Pixel art fits perfectly on Bitcoin, due to its relatively small file size, and ability to scale perfectly.
Let's meet five Gamma Partner Artists who's practice uses pixels.
Thanks for tuning in, we’ll see you next week!
