BASED NOUNSNavigating Decentralization and Real-World Challenges with Nouns ⌐◨-◨
What can Nouns teach us about turning brand building upside down, and making it open source and steered by the community? NounsDAO has redefined what it means to build a brand by embracing a fully open-source, community-driven approach. Unlike traditional brand-building strategies, which are often tightly controlled and centrally planned, NounsDAO has created an ecosystem where anyone can participate, contribute, and even steer the brand's direction. This decentralized approach is made p...

The time has come. DarkNOUNs is set to mint on February 11th, bringing a unique collection of 1001 NFTs to Base on the OpenSea.
Mint Date: February 11th
Mint Time: 11 A.M. EST (WL)
Minting on: Base
Location: Opensea
Total Supply: 1001
Price: TBA
The DarkNOUNs collection is a testament to the power of the CCO (Creative Commons Zero) movement, reimagining the classic NounsDAO pixels in a bold new form. This collection embodies the freedom and creativity that CCO enables, proving that great art and storytelling can thrive in an open, permissionless environment.
“CC0 art is the future, where ownership, attribution, and value lives and flows onchain.”
-Jesse Pollak
-Classic Traits Re-imagined & New, Never before Seen
-DarkNOUNs pulls inspiration from the classic NounsDAO traits while introducing some new traits and some that have never been featured in a Nouns collection. Some highlights include:
A mix of classic Nouns traits, now darkened and twisted to fit the post-apocalyptic world of DarkNOUNs.
Some Yellow Collective, flipped a bit, thanks to the legendary Toady Hawk, expanding on the Nounish ecosystem.
Completely original, never-before-seen traits that bring fresh elements to the Nouns universe—some of them dark, some of them a little based. From Sneakerheads to those who find DickButts embedded into their very being.
-Unique Lore & Backstories
Every DarkNOUN comes with its own unique name and backstory, expanding upon the larger lore of the collection. Each NFT isn’t just a piece of art—it’s a character with a role in the Blackout on Base. read the full Lore HERE!
This storytelling element adds depth to the collection, allowing collectors to connect with their DarkNOUNs on a level beyond aesthetics. Whether it’s a former scientist turned scavenger or a relic of a lost civilization, each piece has a history waiting to be uncovered.
-One of One Collectibles
DarkNOUNs is about creativity, collaboration, and community. The collection includes 65 1/1s from over 40 Artists including legendary and highly respected names like Numo, BrettDrawsStuff, GulaManYOW, Traf, Filter8, Amir Karimi, FattyButHappy, and many, many more.
Each of these pieces represents a unique take on NOUNS, bringing together some of the most talented artists in the space to contribute their vision to the collection.
- Honoraries
The collection also features 53 honorary DarkNOUNs. These are dedicated to individuals and collections. Some of these are people that have supported me and/or given advice, inspired me to create, and some are just very BASED. Apologies if I missed anyone. I’ve been working hard to get this out after I saw many get abstracted, ahem…distracted, thinking the grass was greener outside of Base.
- Prizes
Many of the Honorary pieces will have a prize attached. Some come with an NFT but many will come with your favorite Base tokens.
Examples…mint the Honorary Base Punk and receive a Based Toad by Traf. Mint the Tiny Dino NOUN and receive an Onchain Dino. Tokens being sent out will include: $TYBG, $NOGS, $TOSHI, $VEIL, $TN100X, $AIXBT and more!
No need to redeem. Prizes will be sent to holders following mint out. *The pieces must not be listed! Follow @basednouns & @Goyabean_eth for updates/full details.
- Airdrop
Everyone loves an airdrop no? The majority of the funds from mint will be going towards supporting the Based Nouns community. Within the week following minting out all supporters who mint will receive an airdrop of { REDACTED } token with X amount of top holders getting a significantly higher allocation.
Nounish merchandise has always been bold and bright, with colors that pop and designs that speak to the vibrant energy of the community. But sometimes, you just want to switch it up and embrace the dark side. That's why, alongside the DarkNOUNs drop, we’re releasing several exclusive pieces to add a touch of the blackout to your Nounish wardrobe. Featuring embroidered Nounish drip in sleek black, these pieces bring a fresh, bold, and mysterious twist to your collection. It’s time to get fresh—and dark.
To make the experience even smoother, we’ve integrated our shop with Slice.so, offering a seamless on-chain shopping experience. Now you can easily grab your blackout drip and other Nounish gear using $USDC on Base. No need to worry about traditional payment methods—just connect your wallet, browse, and check out with crypto in a truly decentralized way. Visit the shop HERE!
Thank you to everyone who has supported myself and Based Nouns so far. Thank you to the NOUNS community. Thank you to Jesse and the entire base team. A special shout-out going to DAO members Itsai and 0xDas for helping me piece this collection together and thank you in advance to all who turn up to support.
As we continue to explore the creative potential of Nouns on Base, I look forward to seeing how we can build together and push the boundaries of what’s possible in this space.
Don’t forget to grab your DarkNOUNs on February 11th—join us in the Blackout and embrace the darkness. This is still day one, and we can’t wait to have you along for the ride. Let’s make the future of Nouns even brighter—and darker.
