ARTGATE Docs

Everything you need to know about the multichain NFT protocol.

Overview

ARTGATE is the first multichain NFT protocol that enables collections to exist natively across multiple blockchains. Instead of fragmenting liquidity across chains, ARTGATE creates mirrored collections - the same NFTs, same metadata, same artwork - on every supported chain.

This means collectors can mint, buy, sell, and hold NFTs on their preferred chain, while creators reach audiences across all ecosystems simultaneously.

How It Works

When a collection goes multichain through ARTGATE:

1. Mirrored Deployment: We deploy identical collections on each active chain (currently Monad and Solana). Same token IDs, same metadata, same artwork.

2. Escrow System: Each chain has escrow wallets that hold the collection. This enables seamless bridging between chains.

3. Bridge Mechanism: When a user bridges an NFT, they send it to the escrow on the source chain. The same NFT is then sent to them from the escrow on the destination chain.

The result: One collection, multiple chains, unified liquidity.

For Creators

Launch New Collection

Submit your collection through our launchpad. We'll review your application and help you deploy across multiple chains from day one.

Expand Existing Collection

Already have a collection on one chain? Connect it to ARTGATE and we'll set up the mirrored contracts on other chains, enabling your holders to bridge freely.

Benefits:

- Reach collectors on Monad, Solana, and more

- Single metadata, artwork, and community

- No need to manage multiple deployments

- Dashboard to track activity across all chains

For Collectors

Bridging NFTs

If you hold an NFT from an ARTGATE-enabled collection, you can bridge it to any supported chain:

1. Connect your wallet

2. Select the NFT(s) you want to bridge

3. Choose destination chain

4. Confirm the transaction

Your NFT goes to escrow on the source chain, and the same NFT is sent to you from escrow on the destination chain. The process takes about 30 seconds.

Bridge Fee: 1 MON per NFT (covers cross-chain transaction costs)

Freedom: Buy, sell, and hold on any chain you prefer. Bridge anytime.

Supported Chains

Currently Live:

- Monad

- Solana

Coming Soon:

- Ethereum (ETH)

- Abstract

- Base

We're continuously adding support for new chains based on community demand and technical feasibility.

Fees

Bridge Fee: 1 MON per NFT

This covers the cross-chain transaction costs and escrow operations.

Creator Fees: No platform fee for launching. Standard royalties apply as set by the creator.

Minting: Gas fees on the respective chain only.

FAQ

Is my NFT locked when I bridge?

No. Your NFT is sent to an escrow wallet on the source chain, and the same NFT is sent to you from escrow on the destination chain. You always maintain ownership.

What happens to the supply?

The supply remains the same. The same NFTs exist on all chains - they're mirrored, not duplicated.

How long does bridging take?

About 30 seconds, regardless of how many NFTs you're bridging.

Can I bridge multiple NFTs at once?

Yes! Select as many NFTs as you want and bridge them in a single transaction.

Which wallets are supported?

We support major wallets on each chain - Phantom for Solana, MetaMask and others for EVM chains.
