How it works

The drop uses a Thirdweb signature-based minting ERC-721a proxy contract deployed on Base Mainnet and uses onchain and offchain data to determine traits and visuals.

Membership uses an allowlist to issue signatures to wallets that can in turn mint directly from the contract.

The in-person connections made on Icebreaker and the transaction volume on Base from the holder’s wallet govern both the NFT colorways and title rank of your NFT. Specifically, the number of records and audio tracks upgrades based on your Base transactions, while the colorway and level is determined by your number of connections on Icebreaker. If you max both, who knows what will happen 👀 🧿

Connections on Icebreaker use a hybrid on/off chain architecture to allow people and brands to connect in richer, self-sovereign ways. Web3 addresses, NFT swaps, and connections are by default posted onchain, while metadata like normal or zero knowledge verifiable credentials and contact info are stored privately offchain and shared directly between addresses. Users can choose how much or little information they wish to share publicly and privately with their connections, while spinning up new stealth addresses is simple, even for non-crypto users.

Base Drop is an example of how we can blend onchain and offchain identity in fun and privacy preserving ways, with the goal of helping people make richer, self-sovereign connections through cryptography.
