Base Frens is about friendship, we are 10,001 frens with commercial rights, dropping on Farcaster and Base.Base Frens is a collection of 10,001 ERC-721 tokens on the Base Blockchain, each Fren is unique, programmatically generated from 10 attributes: Type, Clothes, Headband, Eyes, Facial Hair, Mask, Hat, Mouth & Extra. More about the attributes and rarity on another post. Base Frens is the first NFT project sold via DEGEN Tips on Farcaster, thats right we will do a presale only with Tips. In order to participate in the presale you have to tip us 1,000 $DEGEN per token with a maximum of 20,000 DEGEN / 20 Tokens per wallet. We are well aware that not everybody on Farcaster is able to tip 1,000 $DEGEN on a single tip, therefore we have created a dune panel which allow us to track all tips and at the end of the month we will compute all tips received and add all participants to a whitelist based on the total amount of tips sent. Once the presale is over (either sold out of timed out) we will add all participant wallets into a white list and will share a link to the minting site, all participant of the presale will be able to claim based on the amount of tips sent:The presale will be open 48 hours. Once the presale ends all unclaimed tokens will be moved to a public mint phase. Base Frens doesn’t have a roadmap and won’t promise merch, games or a metaverse however since we are about friendship and community we will always prioritize our FRENS gathering in different locations around the world coinciding with Farcaster / WEB3 / NFT related events. In those reunions we will share our vibes, grab a drink, eat some tacos or pizza and spend time together. Our community events will be funded via grants. Grants will allow Base Frens holders to receive USD/ETH for taking actions with their local communities, like hosting a meetup or a dinner.Grants will be posted on our social media. Base Frens holders will be able to fill the application and apply for a grant.Anyone holding a Base Fren token will be elegible to apply for a community grant during the nomination process.We don’t have a Discord server, beware of fake ones, our only social networks and official links are:Farcaster ProfileFarcaster ChannelInstagramMirror
