6,666 undead souls. Zero IPFS. Zero servers. Zero trust required. Based Undeads is a fully onchain pixel art collection on Base meaning the art, the metadata, every byte of every skull lives inside smart contracts permanently. No pinning services. No centralized gateways. No "the team said it's permanent." The blockchain said so. And while you're holding? Your Undead earns you a cut of every single secondary sale across the entire collection. Forever.
From skeletal foot-soldiers in tattered rags to gilded vampire kings wearing crowns no living man could lift. every Undead is a one-of-a-kind sprite rendered pixel by pixel. Each token carries up to 8 traits. The combinations produce a full spectrum of rarity common grunts of the army exist alongside 1-of-1 legends with traits no other token carries. The art is my first venture into pixel art. learned shadow by shadow, sprite by sprite.
Every secondary sale pays a 7.5% royalty into the staking contract. Half of that 3.75% flows directly to stakers, split by share of total staked NFTs. The math is simple: the more you stake, the more you earn. Every time anyone in the world buys or sells an Undead on OpenSea, royalties drip into the pool. You claim whenever you want. No lockup on rewards. No admin. No trust. How it works: 1 - Stake your Undeads with a 24-hour minimum lock. Stack more NFTs, take a bigger slice of every future royalty. 2 - Earn passively. Royalties flow in automatically from every secondary sale across the whole collection, not just yours. 3 - Claim anytime. Rewards accrue on-chain. Withdrawing rewards doesn't unstake your NFTs or reset anything. 4 - Unstake after 24h, whenever you're ready. Any unclaimed rewards stay yours permanently. The staking contract uses the Synthetix pull pattern gas stays constant no matter how many stakers are in the pool.
Two tools built by the project and gifted to the community, free forever, and they work with any NFT collection on Base, Ethereum, ApeChain, or Abstract. Not just Undeads.
🗂 NFT Grid Maker Stitch any NFTs into a single high-resolution PNG. Banner posts, wall art, collection flexes. Up to 50×50 grids, manual or random token selection, custom gap and border options, export as PNG or ZIP of individual pieces.
📱 Wallpaper Maker Build a phone wallpaper starring your favorite Undead. Pick from 12 gradient backdrops, 9 overlay patterns, and 6 device frames. Drag-and-resize your NFT, optionally strip the background, export ready for your lock screen. The first thing you see in the morning should be your Undead.
one person, no studio, no VC, no team of 12 with a 3-year vesting schedule and a Notion board full of promises. Before this I shipped Based Squiggles, generative art living on Base and Crypto Puzzles, interactive brain teasers etched permanently on Arweave. Based Undeads is the next chapter. A leap from generative scripts into hand-drawn pixel art. From solo dev tooling into something that actually puts money in your wallet every time an Undead changes hands. I'm not building toward an exit. I'm building toward permanence. The contracts don't need me to keep running. The art doesn't need my server to stay alive. The staking keeps paying out whether I'm online or not. The project will still be running when I'm not. That's the whole point.
