CashMint 2026Funding Goal: 74.9 BCH (about $16,110 USD)Reference BCH Price: $215 USD/BCHFull Launch of the NFT Marketplace + the AI Agent Layer on Bitcoin CashCashMint started at the BCH-1 Hackcelerator with one goal: to be the flagship NFT marketplace on Bitcoin Cash. Eight months on, it's a live product — 300+ NFTs minted, 160+ sold, real creators and collectors onboarded to BCH, and now something new built on top of it: an AI agent marketplace where you can hire agents and pay in Bitcoin Cash.This campaign is about finishing what we started — taking CashMint from public beta to a full, audited launch — and building the next thing: the infrastructure for anyone to launch AI agents on Bitcoin Cash.I'm Nilupul, and I've built CashMint almost entirely on my own, funded out of the reward from placing runner-up at BCH-1. Here's what's been delivered, what's next, and what I'm asking the community to help fund.What We've Delivered So FarNFT MintingCashMint gives creators three ways to bring NFTs onto Bitcoin Cash:Single NFT minting — mint a one-off NFT.NFT Collection launches — launch a full collection.NFT Drops — timed, public mint events (more on these below — they've been our biggest win).So far, the platform has done 300+ NFT mints.NFT TradesEvery trade on CashMint is fully trustless. When you list an NFT, it's locked into a smart contract on Bitcoin Cash — not held by us, and not handed to the buyer on trust. The contract does exactly one thing: if a buyer pays the asking price, it releases the NFT to them and sends the seller their BCH in the same transaction. If nobody buys, the seller can withdraw their NFT anytime. No one — buyer, seller, or CashMint — can cheat the trade, because the rules live in the contract, not in us.To date: 250+ NFTs listed, 160+ sold, and 90+ active listings.NFT AuctionsCashMint auctions are trustless too, with the bid state living on-chain. Every bid is recorded in the auction's smart contract rather than a database we control. When a higher bid comes in, the previous bidder's BCH is automatically returned and the new bid becomes the standing one. When the auction closes, the contract releases the NFT to the highest bidder and the funds to the seller — so the auction can't be faked, hidden, or tampered with.So far, 8 auctions have been settled.NFT Drops — Our Biggest WinNFT Drops have been our best innovation and our biggest source of traction. They're what brought real creators and collectors into the ecosystem:Sword Fighter — an NFT collection from the artist artwolfie.A student fundraiser — we helped university students run a fundraiser with their “Regrettable” NFT collection.A free-mint drop — used live at a BCH meetup in Juba.Drops are how we've onboarded people to Bitcoin Cash who'd never touched it before.Beyond the Marketplace: PWA & WalletsCashMint runs as a Progressive Web App (PWA) with full mobile responsiveness — installable and usable on a phone like a native app.On wallets, we support both:WalletConnect — for broad wallet compatibility.WizardConnect — the BCH-native connection option.Open Source: CashMintStandard & cashmint-sdkWe've contributed back to the ecosystem with two open-source releases, both tested on chipnet and public on our GitHub org:CashMintStandard — a BCMR extension profile that makes NFT metadata richer and standardised.cashmint-sdk — an open-source NFT-minting SDK.GitHub: https://github.com/orgs/BCH-CashMint/repositoriesTraction & Community180+ unique weekly visitors during peak NFT drops.~50 members in our Telegram community, 170+ followers on X, and 40K+ impressions on X.YouTube tutorials showing how to use CashMint.A Century Trio giveaway celebrating 100+ NFT trades — our first NFT giveaway.Two full UI revamps, shipped off continuous user feedback we've actively gathered and acted on.Achievement: CashMint was the overall runner-up at the BCH-1 Hackcelerator, and we've completed the retroactive milestones since.The AI Agent MarketplaceTo broaden CashMint from a marketplace into a platform, we've added an AI agent marketplace. Today, people can hire AI agents (starting with Minty) directly through CashMint — payments settle on BCH, and the task gets delivered.But hiring is just the surface. The real idea is infrastructure: to give developers the tools to build and launch their own AI agents on Bitcoin Cash. Every level of agent — from simple rule-based automation all the way to fully autonomous agentic workflows — should be launchable on CashMint, whether or not it sells a service. Agents that don't sell a service can tokenize instead (more on that in the plan below).Meet MintyMinty (@BCHMinty) is our first showcase agent — a Bitcoin Cash maximalist who advocates for BCH on X, runs its own follow loops, and has its knowledge base refreshed every week. Minty now accepts paid tasks too.Minty has been live for almost two months. In its first month alone it did 70K+ impressions on X and picked up 150+ followers. At that rate, in its first year Minty could realistically cross 1 million impressions — probably more.And Minty already earns. It offers two services:Sponsored coverage of BCH ecosystem products — $70 so far across 4 projects.BCH analytics charts — ~$2 so far.It's early money, but the point is the proof: if an agent can cover its own costs and eventually turn a profit, that's the template for every future agent builder on Bitcoin Cash.What's Next: The Next 6 MonthsHere's what this funding delivers, across our two domains.CashMint NFT Domain: Beta → Full LaunchTaking CashMint from public beta to a full, production launch:Smart contract audits across all our contracts — NFT Sale, NFT Offer, NFT Drop, and NFT Auction (including on-chain bid state).Full end-to-end testing across every supported wallet and connection option.Multi-NFT mints inside Drops.Both minting options: sequential and parsable NFTs.CashMint Forge — a dedicated UI for NFT creators (minting, drop creation, and the rest). Right now creators and collectors share one interface; Forge splits the creator tools into their own space. Forge's codebase will be open-source.FT (fungible token) minting.More quality video tutorials on the CashMint YouTube — how to mint an NFT on BCH, how to list NFTs, how to launch an AI agent on BCH, and more.A monthly X Space with the NFT creators and agent builders who build on CashMint.Bringing CashMintStandard and cashmint-sdk to mainnet.CashAgents: The AI Agent Layer on Bitcoin CashThe bigger bet — the infrastructure for developers to build and launch AI agents on Bitcoin Cash:Agent creation for developers — the tooling to launch agents on CashMint.Agent identity (DID) — every agent gets a decentralized identity anchored in an NFT.Agent reputation — tracked via parsable NFTs.Agent wallets — provisioned via Paytaca CLI.Agent-to-agent economy groundwork — and, if the need is there, a public BCH MCP server so agents share a common way to talk to the chain and to each other.Agent tokenization — agents can launch a token on a constant-product bonding curve; once it hits a set threshold, it graduates to Cauldron with liquidity. Token holders can get benefits like revenue sharing and distributions — built in, but optional for each creator to enable.Two more showcase agents (beyond Minty), from different domains, to show what's possible. One is already in the works: CashGuard, which finds bugs and vulnerabilities in BCH CashScript smart contracts, can open PRs, and can build proofs-of-concept on chipnet.Minty gets an upgrade. We've kept Minty on a tight leash to manage token costs; funding loosens that — replies with images and URLs, no cap on replies per hour, more frequent web search, and expansion beyond X to Reddit (and we'll test TikTok), with the goal of reaching people who've never heard of BCH. [Note: Minty isn't funded by this campaign — her running costs will be covered by the revenue she earns from paid tasks, and in future by her own tokenization. She's the working proof that agents on BCH can sustain themselves.]The goal for CashAgents is simple: bring developers in to build things like Minty — and beyond Minty — and spread the word about what's actually possible on Bitcoin Cash. With tokenization, builders have a real incentive to show up and build.How CashMint Sustains Itself: RevenueCashMint is built to pay for itself. These are the planned revenue streams, with fees benchmarked against comparable platforms in other ecosystems.NFT Domain1.5% fee on NFT sales, capped at $15.1.5% fee on settled NFT auctions, capped at $15.2% fee from creators on NFT Drops.A fee to have an NFT collection featured on CashMint.CashAgents Domain1.5% fee on hiring services facilitated through the platform.1% trading fee on tokens.On top of that, the showcase agents CashMint builds (like Minty) earn their own revenue by providing services — so CashMint Labs generates income directly from the agents it builds to demonstrate the platform.This is what makes the ask a single push. These six months take CashMint across the line to a full launch — and from there, the revenue streams above are designed to cover the platform's ongoing running and maintenance costs. The goal is a project that pays for itself and keeps growing on its own income, so the work continues well beyond this campaign.The Ask: Funding & Cost BreakdownI've built CashMint for almost 8 months now, funded entirely out of the reward from placing runner-up at BCH-1. That's covered X Premium for both CashMint and Minty, the product launch video (I paid the editor), hosting, the cashmint.cash domain, and the X API + Anthropic API tokens Minty runs on.Here's what the next 6 months need:Here's what the next 6 months need:Founder — Nilupul (full-time): $12,600Full-time engineering, product, social media & user comms. $2,100 × 6 months. Benchmarked to my current salary, for a full-time commitment.Pinata pinning service: $120 ($20 × 6 months)CashMint X Premium: $30 ($5 × 6 months)Servers & hosting: $120 (Hetzner VPS (backends + agents), 8 GB, 6 months incl. automated backups)→ Operational subtotal: $12,870Smart contract audit: ~$3,000(This cost is based on an agreed scope with a security audit agency and has been validated with multiple independent security auditors.)Fundme platform fee: ~$240 (1.5%)→ Total ask: ~$16,110 (≈ 74.9 BCH at $215/BCH)A Note on CommitmentFunded or not, I'll do my best to deliver all of this — but timing and quality will take a hit without support. With funding, I'm confident the next six months get us there, and the revenue model above should be enough to sustain and grow from there.And I'll make sure the output from this work is worth more than the input.Thank YouA huge thank-you to the Bitcoin Cash community. From the earliest weeks until now, the support has been overwhelming. I'm not the loudest voice in the BCH chats, but I read them constantly and learn a ton. Thank you to BCH-1 for the continued support — and thank you to everyone who's minted, bought, and collected NFTs on CashMint, and who's now hiring agents on it too.Learn More & Get in TouchWant to know more about CashMint and Minty?
