Base is Now Live on Rarible.com

What starts with B? Blue? Brian Armstrong? Bald..?

Yes, but also Base—the leading L2 that has taken the whole Crypto Twitter by storm. Initially launched by the Coinbase team in August 2023, the second layer chain has been dominant since the recent Dencun upgrade, which made transaction fees on L2s actually low.

These days, we’re seeing a lot of culturally important events happen on Base—the recent XCOPY and Jack Butcher drops are among some of the standouts—and, ah yes, the memecoins.

Which is why we’re so excited to share that Base—and all the NFTs there— are now fully supported on Rarible.com.

Now, first things first.

How to become Based

Do you have ETH on any chain? Of course you do, you little degen. Go to Relay bridge via this link. Select the chain where you have your ETH. Enter ETH amount, press ‘bridge’. Wait up to 15 seconds. 

That’s it. You’re ready to do stuff on Base. In other words, you’re now officially based. 

Now, 'what do I do?' you ask.

Simple. Go to Rarible.com. Connect your wallet. Start trading NFTs. There is, of course, the Rarible OE drop series, but also all the wonderful NFTs the secondary market can offer.

Base NFTs 101

Here’s a little memo for you (we don’t endorse ANY of the projects below. Always DYOR before buying any NFTs):

Based Fellas is (seemingly) the first 10k PFP on Base. Why seemingly? Because I don’t want to be chased with torches and pitchforks by some angry community who claim they were actually the first. 

Tiny Based Frogs is (seemingly, for the same reason) first on-chain collection.

Onchain Gaias is one of the most traded collections. They haven’t revealed yet, but have teased some great art. 

Primitives is a recent mint that is gaining popularity, nice pixel art.There are some collections rallied behind memecoin projects, namely NFToshis, Base Gods, Mochimons.

And, of course, check out the official Black Mirror NFTs. 

But wait, there’s more.

Go full degen and pay with memecoins

Now if you already had funds on Base, we know that you likely traded some of those memecoins (it’s okay, you can tell us).

If you happen to have some $TOSHI in your wallet, you can actually use it to pay for any Base NFT you see listed on the secondary market, as well as ETH of course.

More memecoins will be added soon, so make sure to follow Rarible everywhere to be the first to know.
