Announcing Stashh 2.0 and Revealing our $3.3M Fundraise!
Today we’re excited to complete our years-long evolution into Stashh 2.0 - an omnichain social-first hub for NFT creators and collectors - and also reveal our fundraise from Animoca, 6th Man Ventures, Shima Capital, and more!
Greetings to the Stashh community!
Today we are thrilled to finally announce the long-awaited launch of Stashh 2.0, completing the evolution of Stashh into an omnichain, social-first, gamified hub for NFT creators and collectors to connect, discover, trade, and grow.
We’re also excited to reveal that Stashh Labs has raised over $3.3M from Animoca, 6th Man Ventures, Shima Capital, Hashkey Capital, SFermion, and more partners to support our mission: to build the best home for NFT creators and collectors from any ecosystem.
As part of the Stashh 2.0 Launch Celebration, we’re filling the next month with fun campaigns - including retroactive Stashh XP and Gems airdrops you can participate in NOW, a new season of Stashh of the Day (our fifth!), curated artist collaborations, token giveaways, leaderboard contests, and so much more. All rewards will go to our incredible users, both new and old!
Read on to learn what Stashh is solving, what we’ve built, where we’re going next - and why you should join our journey. (Including the rewards you’ll get when you do! 💎)
What Stashh Aims to Solve
Stashh believes the future of ownership, creating, and collecting will be digital-first and permissionless. Blockchain technology allows for new, stronger, more robust foundations for digital ownership and identity - and NFTs, inscriptions, and other early innovations are promising first steps in leveraging blockchain to bring this future to life.
Beyond the blockchain, the biggest challenge facing NFT creators and collectors is connecting with each other. They love to make, to connect, to share, to talk, to explore, to display, to discover, to trade, to flex, and most of all, to create new communities and connections.
But almost all major Web 2.0 social platforms are reducing or eliminating their support for NFTs, strengthening their walled gardens, and rejecting permissionless digital ownership. So while creators and collectors are being actively rejected and blocked by Web 2.0 social media, they are still completely reliant upon the network effects of these platforms.
Web 3.0 isn’t solving this problem either. Collectors and creators have been fragmented into hundreds of silos, making it impossible to discover each other across ecosystems or platforms. Stashh believes the future will be omnichain. That’s why Stashh allows creators and collectors to have a single omnichain identity that can reflect all of who they are and what they love - while getting rewarded along the way.
What was Stashh 1.0?
Stashh 1.0 launched in December 2021. With the NFT market in full bloom, we set out to solve another of the biggest problems we saw facing creators and collectors: the lack of programmable privacy. Stashh became the first and only marketplace to support encrypted NFTs: NFTs that could have public or private ownership, plus public or private embedded content and metadata. This opened up hundreds of new use cases for NFT creators and collectors, including unlockable on-chain private content, access control, identity management, unwrappable collectibles, and much more.
Since launch, Stashh has had over 135,000 connected wallets, over $7M dollars in on-chain volume, and over 400,000 NFTs created across native collections and free-mint Claimables. Building on our unique product and past success, Stashh is now ready to throw open the doors to our 2.0 product - and onboard thousands of new Stashhers.
What is Stashh 2.0?
Stashh 2.0 is a social-first, omnichain NFT hub. We want every NFT collector and creator, from any ecosystem, to feel like Stashh is the home Web 2.0 never gave them - and can’t give them.
Want to discover a new hot project or creator? Want to explore trending art and communities? Want to show of your collection or your work? Want to build a network of like-minded collectors and artists who value what you love? Stashh wants to make all of this simple - and fun - without making you feel like you’ll be deplatformed at any minute by a capricious billionaire.
New features on Stashh 2.0 include:
- Stashh Profiles: claim your unique Stashh ID, show off your collectibles and creations in your Top Stashhes, follow and chat with other Stashhers, set a verified on-chain Stashh PFP, track your NFT portfolio, and more! Stashh Profiles currently support assets from over ten blockchain ecosystems, with support for many more in development, allowing all your awesome collectibles to live in one unified place.
- Stashh Feed: the core of Stashh, helping you discover and explore what other collectors and creators are Stashhing and chatting about in real time! Find hot projects from around Web 3.0, follow and discover brilliant curators and collectors, build your own follower base and create public or subscriber-only Posts, and form new communities with people who love what you love.
- Stashh Levels: interacting with others on Stashh, buying/selling NFTs, completing achievements, and keeping up your Stashh Streak earns you XP that increases your Stashh Level. As you level up, you’ll also be earning Stashh Gems to spend, increasing your profile’s visibility to other Stashhers, and unlocking product features, special events, exclusive drops, giveaways, and more.
- Stashh Claimables: easily claim or create free-to-mint digital collectibles! Thanks to Stashh’s unique support for encrypted NFTs, you can show off your Claimables publicly or collect them privately - then unlock the encrypted content inside them. As a creator, gate access to your Claimables using Stashh followership, NFT ownership, token ownership, Stashh Level, Web 2.0 social actions (such as X followership or Discord membership), and many other qualifiers.
- Stashh Instants: now you can instantly release images and short videos directly on-chain as NFTs that are linked to your Stashh ID - with zero code required! As you level up, you’ll be able to create and collect more Instants from other Stashhers. It’s like having a TikTok-style feed of ownable, unlockable content! Decrypt locked media, trade Instants, and compete to get on the Leaderboard for the best Instant creators.
- Stashh Marketplace: a full-featured marketplace for users who want to buy and sell encrypted NFTs, create public or private auctions, make offers, and dive deep into the full universe of assets available only on Stashh - including digital art, in-game items, phygital assets, generative / AI works, music, podcasts, writing, and more!
- Stashh Studio: easily create your own collections or issue your own Stashh Claimables, all without writing a line of code! List assets directly on the Marketplace, create a random mint using Drops, and much more.
While Stashh started with support primarily for a single L1 ecosystem (Secret), we’ve added powerful features for creators and collectors from Ethereum, Bitcoin, Polygon, Solana, Tezos, Stargaze, Base, Arbitrum, and Optimism - with more blockchains on the way. Our vision is: if you can create or collect it, you can find it on Stashh.
Of course, we're not done launching... so stay tuned for some exciting new social and marketplace features that will arrive on Stashh in the coming weeks 😄
