Every photo was taken somewhere.

Most apps forget where. Beenzer keeps it.

How it works

A camera, a map, and a memory of where.

  1. 00/04

    The map is home.

    Every pin is a photo or a video, left exactly where it was taken. Tap one to see it, and who was there.

  2. 01/04

    Snap it.

    Shoot a photo or a video, record a sound, or pick something from your gallery. Up to 20 MB a post.

  3. 02/04

    Pin it.

    Your post lands where you are standing. Then choose who can find it: everyone, or only people within the radius you set.

  4. 03/04

    Share it.

    Follow friends and see their posts on the map or in your feed. Follow each other back and you can chat.

  5. 04/04

    Mint it.

    Any post can become a Solana NFT. Pick how many editions can exist and their price, approve in Phantom, and edition #1 lands in your wallet.

On-chain

Your wallet is your account.

Beenzer runs on Solana. Signing in and minting both happen in Phantom, and nothing moves without your signature.

  • Sign in with a signature

    Connect Phantom and sign a one-time message. No email, and no password to leak.

  • Kept on Arweave

    The photo, video or sound and its metadata go to Arweave, storage built to last. Videos get an animated preview.

  • Limited editions

    Each mint is a Metaplex programmable NFT in the Beenzer collection, with as many editions as you choose.

  • Royalties that travel

    A 10% royalty on resales, 80% of it to the creator and 20% to Beenzer, enforced by a Metaplex rule set.

What happens when you mint

Mints wait in a queue. You follow each step live in your inbox.

  1. You approve in Phantom
  2. Payment confirmed
  3. Media to Arweave
  4. Metadata to Arweave
  5. NFT minted
  6. Collection verified
  7. Edition #1 to you

Story

Been here since 2022.

Beenzer began in 2022 as a social app that minted straight from the phone camera, on Solana. Now it is being rebuilt from the ground up, around the same idea: every moment keeps its place.

  1. Nov 2022

    Beenzer starts

    A mobile dApp on Solana, built in React Native: snap, mint, drop it on the map.

  2. 16 Feb 2023

    BEENZER #18

    Minted in Savigny, Switzerland. Still on-chain, still on Arweave, still the post this page lands on.

  3. Oct 2026

    A new home at Nexow

    Beenzer becomes a product of Nexow, Inc. and gets a fresh codebase.

  4. Now

    Rebuilt in Flutter

    A new app for iOS and Android, on the same server: map, feed, chat, camera and mint, in light and dark.

  5. Next

    Launch

    In the App Store and on Google Play. Follow along to be there when it lands.

The original app, in React Native

The crew

Engineers, traders, artists. Believers.

The first Beenzer was built by an international crew: software, data, finance and art, from eight countries. Today it is built at Nexow, Inc., founded by two of them.

FAQ

Good questions.

Something else? Write to us through Nexow.

What is Beenzer?

A geo-social app for iOS and Android. You post photos and videos where you took them, follow friends, and find their posts on the map. Any post can be minted as an NFT on Solana.

Can I download it?

Not yet. The app is being rebuilt in Flutter, and the original React Native version is no longer on Google Play. Follow @beenzer_app on X or Instagram to hear the day it ships.

Do I need a crypto wallet?

Yes: Phantom is how you sign in. You connect it and sign a one-time message to prove the wallet is yours, so there is no email and no password. Beenzer never sees your keys.

What does minting cost?

A mint fee in SOL. The app shows the fee, and the wallet it goes to, before you approve anything in Phantom, and nothing is sent without your signature.

Who can see what I post?

You choose, post by post: everyone, or only people within a radius you set. The map shows each person the posts whose radius they are inside, plus the worldwide ones.

What does a minted post contain?

The media, kept on Arweave, and metadata with your username and wallet, the date and UTC time, the city and coordinates, the visibility radius, the supply and the floor price. It is a Metaplex programmable NFT in the Beenzer collection.

What are editions and royalties?

When you mint, you choose how many editions can exist and their price. Edition #1 goes to you. Every Beenzer is minted with a 10% royalty on resales, 80% of it for the creator and 20% for Beenzer.

How big can a post be?

Up to 20 MB of media, and a description of up to 2,000 characters.

What happened to the Beenzer DAO and its tokens?

They were part of the original 2022 design. The new app is built around posts and the map, and nothing on this site is an offer of any token.

Who is behind Beenzer?

Nexow, Inc., a Delaware corporation that builds software for clients and apps of its own. Beenzer is one of them.

In the works

Be there when it lands.

The new Beenzer is coming to iPhone and Android. Follow along for the first look, the beta, and the day it ships.
