Imagine what would happend if you open the door to **108** million people onchain. That’s excatly what Coinbase is doing. **Base** is a secure, low-cost,builder-friendly Ethereum L2 which uses ETH as its native currency.

We love this new concept and our visions are overlapping. **Onchain** will be new online and tokenized future is inevitable. As a result, [Veo Labs](https://twitter.com/veolabsxyz) (company behind Code Rebels) is working on brand new technologies to ensure that this transition is as smooth as possible. We will always strive for **innovation** and embrace new challenges, just as [Cypherpunks](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cypherpunk#:~:text=A%20cypherpunk%20is%20any%20individual,to%20social%20and%20political%20change.) did.Our goal is to attract as many **unique individuals** as possible because they hold inherent value (read more [here](https://mirror.xyz/0x6755F8E494C63e8398c37e10F40D6471528b6156/5pu6YxI1Sh0vgHbKhF0uQmVp6hLqBV_wrw6XJ_9-Bcs)).

The only way to mint is with **code** from another person. Can you find it?
