We've been interested in Mintbase for a long time. Trying to figure out where they sit within the NEAR layer one crypto ecosystem? On their twitter they describe themselves as "Pioneering utility NFTs for the masses." And after this discussion they are so much more! We talk about NFTs and how they are so much more than the current meta, how Mintbase can help conferences, what exactly IS Mintbase, and what their future could look like. 

Originally from Ethereum the team moved over to NEAR and would qualify as an OG project. Caroline Wend and Nate Geier are co-founders and have recently hired a new Chief Operating Officer Paul Kuveke.
