Kicking off Thursday with a mint of a reimagining of the classic “Endless Summer” film artwork (seen in full below) by Carty Sewill—an artist and OpenSea employee, as well—the “Get Based” series is set to encompass works by as many as 15 artists over the summer.
Weekly drops will take place via both OpenSea’s website and via frames on social media protocol Farcaster, with each open edition drop set to cost $5 or less—and some will be free.
Additional confirmed artists/projects for “Get Based” include RGB Punks creator Jhekub, “Primitives” creator Hun, meme artist Cryptic Poet, Twitter “Fail Whale” creator Yiying Lu, illustrator Subwway, and Thank You Base God—which recently did a free Base NFT mint on OpenSea that yielded more than 181,000 total mints.
Base has become a significant part of OpenSea’s focus in recent months as the marketplace embraces the budding NFT scene on a chain that doesn’t yet have entrenched, high-value collections—unlike on layer-1 chains like Ethereum mainnet or Solana.
“Get Based” is planned as an introduction to emerging artists on the Ethereum L2, while also helping to introduce collectors to the chain. OpenSea offers native bridging of assets to Base, as well as the ability to purchase with fiat cy and credit cards via a MoonPay integration.
