Art on BTC Challenge 🎃
Spooky season is upon us…
An art on Bitcoin challenge.
We’re celebrating art on BTC with special prizes for both creators and collectors.
Here’s how you can win:
Creators: Launch a Halloween, spooky, or dark-themed artwork on Bitcoin. We recommend editions so more collectors can join in, but you can of course also release a broader collection.
Two ways to win:
1. The most minted release.
AND
2. The best artwork, as voted by our Partner Artists and Gamma team.
Prize: The two winning artworks will be featured IRL on the massive LED walls at the Art Basel Miami Ordinals afterparty at M2, plus a full Explore Page takeover on Gamma.
Collectors: Collect any spooky season drop and hold it until the end of the challenge.
Prize: Three collectors will win “The Deck” one of the last of the limited physical decks from our artist collaboration, featuring 52 unique artworks by Gamma Partner Artists.
When, Where, How?
All collections, editions, and Prints must launch before October 31. V
oting begins November 3, and winners will be announced shortly after.
Launch your drop as an Ordinals collection, reply to this thread with your release post, and make sure it’s purely art, no promises of utility or airdrops during the challenge.
The challenge is open to all creators on Bitcoin.
*Gamma reserves the right to add or modify requirements if we feel it’s in the best interest of the fairness of the competition.
How to start creating: Artists can create and launch their work on Bitcoin right here.

Ideas on Signals 💡
Ideas, a new feature on our Signals platform that empowers creatives to test waters on any concept before fully committing to project.
Anyone can post Idea. And when you’re ready, you can graduate your Top 5 Ideas of week into Project, bringing them to market. Posting Idea costs 25 Bars ($2.50), helping keep feed focused and limiting spam.
We were thrilled to have launched Ideas with over two dozen Ideas, thanks to incredible creativity of our Gamma Partner Artist network. Check them out, upvote ones you love, and share your feedback!
We hope you love Ideas, and we can’t wait to see what you’ll share. You can begin submitting your Ideas for next week right away.
Go-to-Market on Any Chain via Signals 📶
Creators are increasingly looking for flexible ways to bring their projects to multiple blockchains without the friction of managing separate launch processes. We developed Signals to make this possible, enabling artists to go to market seamlessly on any chain.
Garis Edelweiss’ Eterna Bloom and Petra’s Kinetics of Bodies, Branches, and Circuits are launching via Signals before dropping on Ethereum. Nikvct’s AquaRects is live on Signals for Stacks, while 94L1’s Faceless is coming to Solana, showing that Signals supports creators to bring their projects to market and find real demand, before dropping on the chain of their choice.
