Scatter is an artist-first NFT launchpad that enables artists and communities to create and mint NFT collections across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, Base, Abstract, Monad, Sanko, and others.[1][2] The platform has gained traction in art communities, praised for censorship resistance, low fees, optimized, audited, and artist-owned contracts, custom support, low friction, and enabling non-technical artists to participate.

It is closely associated with the Remilia Corporation ecosystem and positions itself as part of the “art underground of NFTs”, in explicit opposition to venture capital-funded, heavily moderated NFT platforms.[1][2][3] Scatter emphasizes creator sovereignty: collection contracts are deployed through Scatter’s factories, but are owned on-chain by the artist, and the platform avoids curation in favor of open access.[2] Its philosophy is explicitly aligned with Remilia’s ideas of Network Spirituality, New Internet, New Net Art, and Post-authorship, in which online collectives and derivative cultures are treated as primary creative agents rather than as infringing copies.[2][4][5]

Scatter has become a default launch venue for Milady-adjacent projects, including Remilia’s Remilio Babies and Kagami Academy, SPX6900’s Project AEON, HPOS10I’s Sproto Gremlins, Oekaki Connect’s Kemonokaki and Pixelady Maker, as well as a large number of smaller derivative communities.[6][7] It has also played a role in the $CULT presale.

History

 
Flurks NFT #2397, 2021.

Scatter emerged in 2021 as a direct response to the censorship of the Flurks NFT collection by major platforms like OpenSea and Rarible.[8][9] Flurks, created by political cartoonist Stonetoss, was removed without explanation despite these platforms' claims of supporting controversial art, prompting the development of a censorship-resistant alternative.[10][11]

Scatter was born on November 23, 2021, the day scatter.art domain was registered. The initial launch of the platform took place in January 2022.

From its inception, Scatter positioned itself as the de facto home for Milady derivatives and Remilia-affiliated and inspired collections, and integrated tightly with existing Milady and Remilio communities. Remilia Corporation projects and contributors began using Scatter as a primary NFT launchpad for expansion collections, derivative experiments, and collaborative drops such as FRUiTS MiLADY and Kagami Academy.[12]

In 2023 Scatter launched merch efforts with its partner site, Happy UFO.[13]

In 2024, as Layer 2 networks gained prominence, Scatter expanded beyond Ethereum mainnet to support as many chains as possible.[14] The launch of Scatter V2 introduced a redesigned front end, support for a wider range of wallets, an enhanced checkout system, an improved payout system, and more.[15]

In 2025 Scatter launched the Scatter API for custom minting apps, a charms system, and its new ERC-1155 contract.[16][17][18]

Features

Scatter offers multiple features such as:

Artist-owned contracts

Collections are deployed via Scatter’s secure contract factories, but ownership of the resulting contracts is assigned to the artist or project wallet.[2] This avoids the “shared storefront” pattern used by some legacy platforms and allows creators full on-chain control of minting, metadata updates, etc.

Gas-efficient deployment and minting

Scatter’s ERC-721 contracts are based on ERC-721A implementations with extensive gas optimizations, including support for batch minting at near-constant cost.[2] This reduces friction for collectors minting multiple NFTs and lowers barriers for experimentation by smaller artists.

Multichain support

The platform supports Ethereum mainnet and multiple Layer 2 / Layer 3 chains (as of January 2026: Ethereum, Base, Apechain, Abstract, Sanko, Polygon, Superposition, Arbitrum, Ink, Blast, Mantle, Berachain, Hyperliquid, Monad).[1][19] This allows projects to choose between lower-cost chains or the perceived prestige and liquidity of mainnet.

Instareveal

Projects minting on Scatter can have their NFTs reveal as they are minted instead of waiting for mintout, while also ensuring that they won’t be gamed by rarity snipers (each token’s metadata and image are hidden until it’s minted).[2][20]

Scatter API

The platform allows developers to build their own integrations with Scatter, including fully custom minting websites and apps, while still taking advantage of Scatter’s battle-tested contracts.[2][21][22]

Affiliate program

The on-chain affiliate program lets creators allocate up to 50% of mint proceeds via referral links to affiliates.[23] Affiliates can track and withdraw their accumulated rewards directly from the affiliate page.[23]

Charms

Scatter’s notification system lets users track free mints and rewards from their favorite collections.[17] For example, wallets holding a Milady, Remilio or Kemonokaki, should be able to see many charms, because they are eligible for free/discounted mints from multiple collections.

ERC-20 support

Memecoins can be accepted as payment for mints.[24]

Testnets

Creators can safely experiment with creating and managing a collection on testnets before deploying to mainnet or spending real money.[1][2] This also avoids the Scatter deployment fee and hides test collections from showing up on public searches on the site.[19]

Burn to mint

For sequel or “phase 2” projects, Scatter supports burn to mint mechanics in which holders of specified NFTs can burn them in exchange for minting from a new collection.[2] Sacrificed NFTs are fully burned on-chain, so holders do not have to worry about teams executing the burn after the mint.[2][25]

Bulk mint discounts

Creators can set bulk discount tiers that allow collectors to receive a discount and incentivize them to mint multiple NFTs at once.[2][25]

Platform fees

For most supported chains, Scatter charges a 5% platform fee on paid mints, which is taken from the mint cost and is not an added cost for minters. For free mints, Scatter takes no fee.[2]

The platform also imposes a small ~$2 deployment fee on L2/L3 chains to deter spam collections, while leaving Ethereum mainnet deployments to be gated primarily by gas costs.[2]

For Apechain, Scatter charges a 15% platform fee. Within Remilia lore, this surcharge is often described as a “cringe tax” or “ape premium”, reflecting longstanding antagonism toward BAYC holders and a cultural narrative that apes are symbols of outdated, dumb-money degeneracy and that they represent the antithesis of Milady aesthetics and philosophy. In this framing, the higher fee on Apechain is as much a piece of performative lore as it is an economic parameter.[26]

Deployment typically costs ~$0.10-$2 in gas fees on mainnet (and remains below $10-$20 even during gas spikes) because of highly optimized factories (ERC-721A, Solady), dropping to cents on L2/L3s.[2]
