Open sea highlights artists on the ethereum Layer-2 network, x” data-wpel-link=”external” target=”_blank” rel=”nofollow external noopener noreferrer”>Base, with a new series called “Get Based.” This initiative will feature free or low-cost nft drops. The series begins Thursday with Carty Sewill's new version of the artwork from the film “Endless Summer.” Sewill, artist and OpenSea staff, kicks off the series that will include works by 15 different artists throughout the summer.
The series begins with classic works of art
Every week, OpenSea will release new nfts through its Farcaster website and social media platform. Each delivery will be priced at $5 or less, and some will be free. This approach aims to make digital art more accessible to a wider audience. The series includes works by artists such as RGB Punks creator Jhekub, meme artist Cryptic Poet, and twitter “Fail Whale” creator Yiying Lu.
The “Get Based” series aims to introduce collectors to emerging artists on the ethereum L2 network. Unlike the ethereum or Solana mainnet, Base does not yet have valuable collections. This series serves to learn about the artists and the chain, offering collectors the opportunity to explore new digital art in an affordable way.

Increasing role of base in OpenSea strategy
OpenSea makes it easy for users to participate in the “Get Based” series. Collectors can purchase nfts with fiat money and credit cards through the platform's integration with MoonPay, which allows native assets to be connected to Base. This makes it possible for anyone to join the series without requiring much technical knowledge, even if they are new to the world of cryptocurrencies.
Starting June 3, the basic “On-Chain Summer II” promotion will run in parallel with the “Get Based” series. Over 600 eth in rewards, perks, and gas credits will be available during this event spanning multiple projects and protocols. As a launch partner, OpenSea continued to support Base since last year's promotion.
Final thoughts
OpenSea's “Get Based” series is intended to highlight emerging artists on ethereum's layer 2 network, Base. By offering free or low-cost nft drops, OpenSea makes digital art accessible to a wider audience. This series not only promotes new artists, but also introduces collectors to the growing nft scene on Base, while supporting the broader “On-Chain Summer II” initiative.
