About

What is ARTIFACT?

ARTIFACT is an ERC-20 community token on the Base network. What follows is drawn from the contract and public on-chain data.

◈

Fixed Supply

1,000,000,000 tokens, with the full amount already circulating — which is why market cap and fully diluted valuation are the same figure. Confirm the supply and any mint functions on Basescan.

⬢

Base Native

Deployed on Base, Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2 (chain ID 8453). Fees are typically sub-cent, confirmations are fast, and every transfer is written to a public ledger.

◆

Wallet to Wallet

Transfers settle directly between addresses on Base. The token trades against USDC, so the quoted price is readable in dollars.

✦

Verifiable

Contract, holders, liquidity, and every trade are public on Basescan and GeckoTerminal. This page is a claim; those are the records.

Costs

Transfer Fee
0% — the ERC-20 transfer function contains no fee logic; wallet-to-wallet moves cost only Base gas
Trade Fee
Buys and sells routed through the coin's Zora market pool pay Zora's standard market fee, split by the contract between the creator (payout recipient), the platform referrer, the trade referrer, and the Zora protocol

Permanence

An Electronic Artifact

A metal artifact survives because it is hard to destroy. An electronic artifact survives for a different reason — because the record of it was never kept in only one place.

An artifact, in the ordinary sense, is an object that carries information forward: a struck coin, a clay tablet, a printed note. What makes it an artifact is not the metal — it is that the object records something, and that the record outlives the moment it was made.

ARTIFACT is that same idea without the object. Your holding is a number in the storage of a smart contract at 0x62e4e4aa6e2f8a2a6cbec8b5cbde9867bf2afde3, and that storage is part of the state of the Base network. Base is an Ethereum Layer 2: transactions are executed and ordered on Base, and the underlying data is posted to Ethereum, where Ethereum's own node set retains it. Anyone can run a Base node and re-derive the entire history from that posted data. Nobody needs this website's permission — or its continued existence — to read it.

That is the concrete sense in which the token is an artifact rather than a webpage. This site is the fragile part. If the domain lapses, the host goes dark, and every image here is lost, nothing about the token changes: your wallet, Basescan, GeckoTerminal, DexScreener and any DEX routing to the pool will read and move the same balance exactly as before. The site is an introduction. The chain state is the artifact.

Two qualifications, stated plainly. Base is operated by Coinbase and currently relies on a centralised sequencer to order transactions — it is not a permissionless validator set, and that is a real dependency. And durability of the record is not durability of value: the ledger will keep reporting what you hold, but what anyone will pay for it is a separate question entirely.

The Balance

Your holding is an entry in the token contract's storage — not a receipt for something kept somewhere else.

The Contract

Deployed bytecode at 0x62e4e4aa6e2f8a2a6cbec8b5cbde9867bf2afde3. Read the verified source on Basescan and check for owner, mint, or upgrade functions before relying on its behaviour.

The Chain

Base executes and orders the transactions; the underlying data is posted to Ethereum for availability and settlement.

The Nodes

Any independent operator can run a Base node and rebuild the full history from the data posted to Ethereum.

The Readers

Wallets, block explorers and chart sites each read that same state directly, with no dependence on this page.

Permanence of the record is not permanence of value. The ledger will keep reporting what you own for as long as the network runs. What anyone will pay for it is set by an open market and carries no commitment from anyone.

How to Buy

Own ARTIFACT in Four Steps

You need a Base-compatible wallet and a little ETH on Base for gas. That's the whole shopping list.

Get a Base Wallet

Install Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, or Rabby and switch the network to Base. Any wallet that speaks Base will do.

Fund It on Base

Send ETH to your wallet on the Base network — buy on an exchange and withdraw to Base, or bridge from Ethereum. Keep a little spare for gas.

Open Coinbase

Open Coinbase and buy ARTIFACT on Base. Confirm the contract address matches 0x62e4e4aa6e2f8a2a6cbec8b5cbde9867bf2afde3 before you trade.

Buy and Hold

Enter your amount and review the quote Coinbase shows before confirming. The tokens arrive in your wallet on confirmation.

Check It Yourself

Every figure on this page is drawn from public sources. Here is where to confirm each one.

1

Confirm the Address

The only ARTIFACT contract is 0x62e4e4aa6e2f8a2a6cbec8b5cbde9867bf2afde3. Copycat tokens reuse names and logos — match every character.

2

Read the Contract

Open the token on Basescan and check the source, supply, and any owner functions for yourself.

3

Check the Holders

The holder list is public. See how supply is distributed and how much sits in the largest wallets before you buy.

4

Check the Liquidity

Pool depth is around $1.3K. Look up the pool on GeckoTerminal and confirm whether LP tokens are locked or burned.

5

Understand the Security Score

GeckoTerminal currently shows a Security Score of 28 with one automated audit warning. ARTIFACT is a Zora content coin — a standard ERC-20 issued through Zora's factory, with liquidity managed by the Zora pool. Automated scanners are tuned for the "renounce owner and burn LP" pattern used by typical DEX launches, and flag the Zora pattern by default. The definitive answer is the contract source itself, verified on Basescan.

6

Check the Size

Market cap is roughly $2.7K, pool depth roughly $1.3K, and there are nine holders per the current snapshot.

7

Check Ownership Status

The contract uses a multi-owner model. Owners can add or remove other owners, revoke ownership entirely, rename the token, change the contract metadata URI, redirect the creator payout recipient, and migrate the liquidity pool to a different hook. To see who currently holds owner rights — or whether ownership has been revoked — open the Read Contract tab on Basescan and call owners(). An empty array means ownership has been revoked.

FAQ

Questions & Answers

The short answers to the questions that come up most.

What chain is ARTIFACT on?
Base — Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2, chain ID 8453. It settles to Ethereum but with sub-cent fees and near-instant confirmations. You'll need a Base-compatible wallet and a little ETH on Base to trade.
What is the contract address?
0x62e4e4aa6e2f8a2a6cbec8b5cbde9867bf2afde3 — on Base. Copy it from this page or from Basescan, and never from a message someone sent you.
What is the total supply?
1,000,000,000 ARTIFACT, all of it circulating — which is why market cap and fully diluted valuation are the same number.
Why is the price written as $0.0₅2738?
It is shorthand for a number with five zeros after the decimal point: $0.000002738. Trackers use the subscript notation for prices with many leading zeros.
Is there a buy or sell tax?
The ERC-20 transfer function has no fee logic — sending ARTIFACT wallet-to-wallet costs only Base network gas, typically sub-cent. Buys and sells routed through the coin's Zora market pool pay Zora's standard market fee, which the contract splits between the creator (payout recipient), the platform referrer, the trade referrer, and the Zora protocol. That split is recorded on-chain in the CoinBuy, CoinSell, CoinTradeRewards and CoinMarketRewards events — visible on Basescan. There is no hidden fee inside the transfer function itself.
Is ARTIFACT affiliated with Coinbase or Base?
No. ARTIFACT is an independent community token that happens to be deployed on the Base chain. There is no affiliation with, or endorsement by, Coinbase, Base, Uniswap, Zora, or anyone else named on this page.
How deep is the pool?
Roughly $1.3K at the time of the snapshot. Executed price depends on trade size relative to that pool. Adding depth is a stated intention.
What happens to my ARTIFACT if this website disappears?
Nothing. This site is only an introduction to the coin — it holds no funds and stores no balances. Your holding lives in the Base ledger, copied across every node on the network. If the domain lapses tomorrow, your wallet, Basescan, and any DEX will still show and move your tokens exactly as before.
Is there a physical coin?
The artwork is drawn as a medallion. Physical minting is a stated aspiration; no supplier, cost, or date is fixed. Holding the token confers no right to a physical item.
Is ARTIFACT an investment?
ARTIFACT is a community token. It is not offered as a security or an investment product, and nothing on this page is financial advice. There is no issuer obligation, redemption right, or claim on any person or entity.
