Born out of Onchain Summer, Based Fellas was the first 10k PFP collection on Base. This free mint with fun pixel characters took off! Shortly after launch, their developer handed over the smart contract to the community where new leadership was determined to make the Based Fellas community great. Since then, Based Fellas has become a leading project in the Base community in terms of both volume and community.
A Community of Builders
The Base Fellas team is dedicated to building new tools for the community and innovating unique ways to engage with pixel art. Recently, Based Fellas launched a “Jesse Fella” edition to honor Jesse Pollak. These Fellas can enter the “Jesse Room” to equip their generic Jesse character with new and unique traits. You can find the Jesse Room here: https://jesse.basedfellas.io/.
Based Fellas have launched another complimentary collection called "Homes." Think of these as virtual houses where your Based Fella character can "live." When you put your character in a Home, it's called "staking" - it's like letting your NFT earn rewards for being part of the community. Through staking, you can earn $FELLA, the official token of Based Fellas. Other related NFT projects can also use these Homes, creating a friendly neighborhood of different digital collections. Explore more about Based Fellas Homes on their website: https://www.basedfellas.io/.

Takeaway
What started as a simple pixel art collection transformed into a testament to community power in the NFT space. it's a movement for collectors to become creators, where abandoned projects find new life, and where people from different corners of Web3 come together to build something lasting. Based Fellas proves that in the world of NFTs, it's not the initial launch that defines success, but the community that grows around it.
