First Mint Fund has partnered with Crypto Art Philippines group to hold the first NFT Minting Party in the Philippines on Feb. 6, 2022. First Mint Fund will provide free ETH to pay for gas fees for Filipino artists who will mint their NFT art for the first time!

What is the First Mint Fund? 

First Mint Fund was established by Colin Goltra and Gabby Dizon as a way to help more artists mint their NFT art on Ethereum. The key problem it solves? Minting fee on Ethereum is always high so the artist is risking to mint without guarantee that their art will be sold.

Thatโ€™s where the First Mint Fund will come in. The fund will shoulder the minting fee of the person for their first NFT on Ethereum. This is called the artistโ€™s โ€œgenesisโ€ piece on the blockchain.ย ย 

Today, the fund is managed by globally renowned graphic designer  AJ Dimarucot to help artists not just in the Philippines but in Southeast Asia get started with crypto art.

When asked previously what happens when the funded artist sold their first piece, AJ confirmed neither the First Mint Fund nor the Narra Gallery receives a cut when the artist they support gets a sale.
