The Base of Layer 2
Base is one of the most important layer 2s of Ethereum.
This is a chain designed and created by Coinbase, with the purpose of making asset transfers on the main alternative chain to Bitcoin simpler and more economical.
The same Coinbase, the company that owns and manages the largest cryptocurrency exchange in the United States, is involved in the initiative, since the claim of these NFTs is also possible thanks to its official Onchain Summer campaign.
Onchain Summer is a campaign that started last year, as an invitation to creators to launch their projects on Base.
In fact, Onchain technology allows anyone to get paid directly by their supporters with virtually no fees, have full ownership of their original digital works, and build direct relationships with their community.
Base creator Jesse Pollak stated:
“We are beyond excited to launch the Paris 2024 Olympic Games Mascot NFT digital pins as part of Onchain Summer. This launch captures the innovative spirit of Onchain Summer, offering not only a piece of Olympic history, but also showcasing the potential of Onchain technology to bring brands closer to their fans. By bringing these NFTs to the community, we aim to create a memorable and unforgettable experience for people around the world.”
The 2024 Olympics
As part of the Olympic Agenda 2020+5 initiatives, the CIO (Comité International Olympique), which officially organizes the Olympics, has developed a global licensing program with the aim of strengthening and promoting the Olympic brand.
CIO’s key licensing programs include The Olympic Collection, which aims to engage a young audience with unique branded products including apparel, toys and games, bags, stationery and sports equipment.
In this way, on the official website of the Olympic Store (shop.olympics.com) all official products are on sale, with collectibles and souvenirs that belong to all Olympic merchandising programs.
In addition to the Olympic Collection, there is also the Olympic Heritage Collection, which celebrates the art and design of previous Olympic Games, and the Olympic and Paralympic Games collections, which celebrate each future edition of the Games, such as Paris 2024, Milan Cortina 2026 and LA28.
