While artificial intelligence (AI) has been steadily advancing in recent years, the past year has seen the mainstream rise of deep-learning machines such as ChatGPT and Dall-E. This makes 2023 feel like a real turning point, marking the year of AI and its widespread integration.
Here at Binance, we’re on a mission to enable the global adoption of Web3 by building an ecosystem accessible to everyone and ensuring we’re always embracing the latest technology. As such, we’re particularly excited about the latest innovation we have ready to share with you: Binance Bicasso.
In simple terms, Bicasso is an AI NFT generator that allows users to create unique artwork with text or images, then mint their creations as NFTs on BNB Chain. In the words of Mayur Kamat, our Head of Product: “Bicasso gives us a unique opportunity to bring together the power of AI and Web3 to provide users with a powerful experience."
What Is Bicasso and What Is an AI Image Generator?
Binance Bicasso is a new AI NFT generator. It allows users to create a customized image generated by AI simply by submitting text or an image. For example, users can upload a profile picture to the system and provide a series of creative prompts; the AI image generator will then create a new piece of digital art.
An AI image generator is a computer program that uses AI algorithms, such as deep learning, to create new images based on patterns and features learned from existing images.
By analyzing large datasets of images, an AI image generator can learn to generate new, original images that are similar to those in the dataset. This technology has many applications, from creating realistic images for video games and movies to generating artwork and design prototypes.
Where Bicasso takes things to the next level is with the move to Web3. Once fully satisfied with the images, users can mint their creations as NFTs on the BNB Chain. These NFTs can then be set as profile pictures, shared across social media, or transferred to an external wallet. Forget the chatter about ChatGPT — Bicasso is here!
Mint Your Own AI-Generated NFT for Free on March 29
The committed Binancians out there who follow everything we do may have noticed that we held a small beta test of Bicasso on our NFT platform on March 1, 2023. Limited to testing purposes for a small number of European users in 10 countries, we closed it that same day after 10,000 NFTs were successfully minted in just a few hours.
Following this successful beta test, we’re excited to announce that on March 29, 2023, we will be expanding access to this AI NFT generator to all our users across the world, with Bicasso set to be unlocked on a first come, first served basis for 100,000 Binancians — both existing and new — who can each mint no more than one AI-generated NFT.
However, be warned that this latest window to create your own NFT for free will be open for only 12 hours, from March 29 (12:00 UTC) to March 30 (00:00 UTC), and limited to the first 100,000 users to successfully log in and generate their NFTs.
Don’t want to miss out? Well, there’s only one way to guarantee access, and that’s to get ahold of an NFT from the Exclusive Bicasso NFT Collection, which we’ll be releasing in support of Bicasso’s global launch. In short, ownership of these gives you priority!
Unlock Priority Access Via Our Exclusive Bicasso NFT Collection
To mark the global launch of Bicasso, we’ll be releasing an exclusive collection of 500 NFTs created by the AI NFT Generator. Featuring a series of AI-generated cats and dogs, the Exclusive Bicasso NFT Collection can only be earned by users rather than bought or sold.
Remember — only those who hold one of these 500 NFTs on March 29 will each be guaranteed access to one free minting opportunity during Bicasso’s global launch. So how can you get one?
All you need to do to qualify for an Exclusive Bicasso NFT is invite your friends to join Binance during the promotion period from March 27 (12:00 UTC) to March 29 (01:00 UTC); you will receive one ticket per successful referral.
The system will distribute the 500 NFTs on March 29. The more tickets you hold, the more likely you are to be rewarded with one of the Exclusive Bicasso NFTs (terms and conditions apply).
As well as ensuring you have the right to mint one of the free 100,000 NFTs available during Bicasso’s global launch, ownership of an Exclusive Bicasso NFT also gives you entry into our newly formed Binance Beta Testers.
The plan for this group is to have early access to new products and upcoming features. First on the horizon for the Binance Beta Testers is theAI-powered chatbot embedded in Binance Academy. Built using advanced ChatGPT tech, the chatbot ensures users get reliable and up-to-date answers to any questions they may have about Web3, crypto, and blockchain.
How To Use Bicasso
Remember — Binance Bicasso will only be open for 12 hours, from 12:00 (UTC) on March 29, 2023, to 00:00 (UTC) on March 30, 2023. Minting will be limited to 100,000 AI NFTs on a first-come, first-served basis (with guaranteed access for the 500 Exclusive Bicasso NFT holders). Ready to mint your free AI-generated NFT? Here’s how to do it:
Log into your Binance account and go to [NFT] - [Bicasso].
Enter AI prompts to generate images. Do note that Bicasso only supports English-language prompts. You can enter multiple prompts; be as specific as possible about the type of image you want Bicasso to generate. For example, include details like color schemes, composition, elements you wish to see in the artwork, and the overall feel you want the image to convey.
Binance Bicasso also supports “image-to-image” AI technology. You can upload images as a baseline to help Bicasso learn your preferences. Please upload images with a clean background for optimized results. You can click to upload your images or simply drag them into the box. Once you’ve done this, click [Generate].
You will now see the AI-generated images. If you’re not satisfied with these images, change your prompts and try again. Select an image you like and click [Mint NFT]. Please note that you can mint only one NFT. Once the minting starts, it cannot be reversed.
Your NFT will start minting. Please wait patiently. After your NFT is successfully minted, you can view it from [Profile] - [My NFTs].
Final Thoughts
We look forward to you joining us on March 29 for Bicasso’s global launch. This AI NFT generator makes it easy to create original artwork even if you lack artistic skills or design knowledge. Simply select your preferences, and the machine-learning algorithm will generate a unique image for you.
