Hey friends, Rachel here, welcoming you to the fourth issue of Onchain Summer Nights! Last week, I had the chance to attend Christie’s Art + Tech Conference and hear Steve Wozniak speak. His quote, "Happiness is smiles minus frowns," resonated deeply with me. While we're building at breakneck speed, I often find myself feeling like I'm in the right place. It's not always perfect, but the builders I gravitate towards are optimists who believe in creating a better future. This positivity fuels our journey and reminds me that the future will indeed be built by optimists. Let's dive into this week's stories, where nostalgia meets innovation, and celebrate the creativity and determination driving our onchain community.

As we gear up for Base's first anniversary, celebrated next week during BASECAMP in Idylwild, California with 350 Based Builders, it's thrilling to see Onchain Summer hitting incredible milestones. This multi-month celebration of onchain art, music, culture, and gaming has already generated over $1 million in revenue, and we're only halfway through the summer. The initiative highlights the future of creating onchain, inviting participants to engage in a more creative and decentralized internet.
Adding to the excitement, Onchain Summer has seen 100,000 summer passes claimed so far—can we push that number to 1,000,000? If you haven't already, claim your summer pass and start earning points to redeem for prizes. Plus, spin the wheel daily using Coinbase Wallet for extra points. The vibrant energy of Onchain Summer is a testament to the innovation driving this community, and with the upcoming BASECAMP event, the momentum is only set to grow.

Remember the good old days of pumping quarters into an Atari arcade machine, chasing high scores in Asteroids and Breakout? AtariX is reviving that nostalgia with a futuristic twist, bringing these beloved classics onchain! Built in collaboration with Stackdotso, Msenyil, and Mx1000m, AtariX is ensuring that mint proceeds are shared among the developers, artists, and builders who make it all possible.
This isn't just a trip down memory lane; it's a groundbreaking moment for Onchain Summer. Imagine owning a piece of gaming history while competing on a fully transparent, blockchain-verified leaderboard. Atari, the pioneer of video gaming, is once again at the forefront, blending retro charm with cutting-edge technology. The integration of arcade games and NFT ownership for scorekeeping is a testament to the innovative potential of blockchain, making gaming more exciting and verifiable than ever.

Base dropped Mister Miggles in our laps last week, an initiative designed to empower creators—whether musicians, artists, or filmmakers—to bring vibrancy and engagement to the internet. Mister Miggles provides a fun way for creators to remix content, mint their creations on-chain, and vote for their favorites, ensuring they receive the value they generate.
Crypto-Twitter fave, jmann.eth’s "A Song a Day Mister Miggles version" generated over 21,000 mints, showcasing the potential and rewards available. All proceeds from mints go directly to the creators. Participants can also join Optimism rounds with 5000 OP dedicated to those who remix Mister Miggles. This initiative is not just about creativity but also about rewarding artists for their work, making the internet a better place for everyone. Based!

In a nostalgic twist, LimeWire has launched its limited edition NFT collection, Non-Fungible Torrents, on Base. For those who remember, LimeWire was the notorious peer-to-peer file-sharing client from the early 2000s, a go-to for downloading pirated music and other materials. Created by Mark Gorton, LimeWire once dominated the file-sharing landscape before its shutdown.
Each non-fungible torrent in this collection grants access to individual prizes, including exclusive LimeWire merchandise and two music NFTs. It's a clever nod to LimeWire's infamous past, now reimagined for the onchain era. Each mint offers a unique piece of digital nostalgia, blending the rebellious spirit of early internet culture with the innovative potential of blockchain technology. Dive in, claim your piece of history, and enjoy the ride.
