1. The “Base Introduced” NFT can be viewed as a proxy base token. Basing a token off this NFT that Coinbase launched when they announced Base caters to users who showed interest in Base L2. The NFT itself was actually minted on mainnet Ethereum since Base wasn’t live yet. It was an opt-in action to mint the NFT that showed intent to transact on Base. The Base Evolution is bringing this intent to Base by allowing holders of this NFT to redeem it for $BASED which will go live on Base. 2. The unique distribution of the Base Introduced NFT allows for an interesting way to seed distribution for a token. There are 485k Base Introduced NFTs held across 370k unique wallets. It’s one of the most widely distributed NFTs we’ve ever seen.
