'Bankless Onchain' Phase II: Mint Our History
Last year, Bankless entered the podcast collectibles space with a bang. Our Phase 1 collection was a novel journey into onchain media and gave our fans the opportunity to collect some of the most exciting moments in Bankless history.
While Phase 1 was a big success – with over 500 unique collectors and 2500+ mints – rising gas prices and community feedback on the weekly mints led us to take a step back and re-examine our onchain strategy.
Since pressing pause, quite a lot has changed in the world of onchain media! L2 networks have hit their stride, more platforms for minting media content have sprung up, and the collector base on Ethereum continues to grow.
All the while, the Bankless Podcast has continued to drop hot episodes that are begging to land onchain. We’ve experimented with minting some of our favorite episodes, but we haven’t gone all the way.
We want to mint them all.
Today, we’re excited to announce Phase II - Bankless Onchain: Minting Bankless History.
You can mint the entire Bankless podcast archive for the next 60 days:

Minting Bankless History
Phase II just brought nearly the entire Bankless Podcast onchain, over 800 episodes are now available as Zora Open Editions for 60 days only.
The archive mint details are as follows:
- The archives will be available for anyone to mint for 60 days only.
- Any wallet can mint as many editions as they want.
- Each mint will cost the default 0.000777 ETH Zora mint fee.
Over the course of the 60-day mint period, we’ll showcase “playlists” that highlight each year’s ten most-downloaded episodes.
With low minting and gas fees on Zora, sure, you can snag every one of your favorite episodes, but we want to hear why you minted what you did–so @ us on twitter or farcaster when you mint! We want the whole community to share in the moment.
Also, if you’d like to hang out with other Bankless Collectors, we spun up a token-gated Discord channel. 👀
Please remember! You can only mint the entire Bankless podcast archive for the next 60 days:
The archive is just the start. Starting today, we’ll be minting all new episodes of the podcast as they are released. The new rule – if you can listen to a Bankless episode you can now collect it too (only mintable for 60-days after the episode has been published).
To follow along and mint new podcast episodes as they’re released, you can bookmark this collection here: https://bankless.cc/onchain
Bringing the Bankless Podcast onchain not only gives our fans a way to collect their favorite episodes, but it also brings a high-signal way for our community to showcase what they want to see more of. And again, join other Bankless Collectors in our token-gated Discord channel!
Love for Phase I Collectors...
And of course, we didn’t forget about our collectors from Phase I.
Everyone who minted from the first phase of Bankless Collectibles showcased their support for our onchain journey. We really appreciate it, and as such, we wanted to make sure that Phase I collectors got an exclusive head start in claiming some of our favorite episodes in Phase II.
All Phase I collectors who previously collected one or more episodes will be airdropped Ryan and David’s ten favorite episodes from the archives. Check your wallet by connecting your wallet to Zora: https://zora.co[insert_your_wallet_address]
Also, find more information and Ryan Sean Adam’s commentary on why we chose to airdrop the 10 we did:
