Gnars runs entirely on Base
Gnars is a community-owned action-sports DAO running its whole stack on Base — daily auctions, onchain governance, a transparent treasury, NFT drops, swaps, and staking. Chain id 8453, end to end, since day one.
A complete DAO, all onchain
- Daily auctionsOne Gnar at a time: the daily auction that funds the treasury and mints membership, Nouns-style.
- Onchain governanceProposals, voting, queueing, and execution through the Nouns Builder governor — every decision settles on Base.
- Transparent treasuryEvery asset, inflow, and DeFi position readable onchain — and when a price can't be read, the page says so instead of printing a zero.
- DroposalsNFT drops proposed, voted, and executed by governance, with revenue splits verified onchain.
- SwapToken swaps on Base via the 0x API, straight from the site.
- StakingBack Gnars riders through yield vaults, and back the Gnars Builder subnet on Morpheus with MOR — both live on Base.
Don't take our word for it — this is the live product
The sections below aren't screenshots. They're the same live components the site runs in production — auction, governance, swap, and rider staking.
The whole governance stack is deployed on Base (chain 8453): the auction house settles each Gnar onchain, votes land on the Nouns Builder governor, and passed proposals queue and execute through a timelock that holds the treasury itself. Every bid and vote below is a Base transaction — and with sponsored smart accounts, voting costs members nothing.

16 ETH raised by the daily auction so far
A droposal is a governance proposal that, once executed on Base, deploys an NFT edition and wires its revenue split onchain — mint revenue flows to creators and the treasury through 0xSplits contracts on Base.

Gnargentina
This Droposal (a proposal to mint Gnars media as canonical DAO NFTs) tells the story of Gnargentina tour, during the ¨Devconnect¨ in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Surf is Up - Nogglesboard
This Droposal mints a surf session video from Playa Hermosa, Costa Rica, where I (zimardrp) tested the Sweet Amnesia 5'5 fish tail Nogglesboard while wearing the ARDRP x Gnars collab shirt. Filmed during our trip from Pavones, the session included surfing with local pro Carlos Muñoz and showcased the board’s speed and smooth turns. The footage will also contribute to the upcoming Nogglesboard documentary with artistic shots and insights from shaper Tony Bear. This mint introduces a new split contract feature, directing 50% to the Gnars treasury and 50% to me (zima).

The swap routes through Base DEX liquidity via the 0x API, and a 0.5% affiliate fee on every trade flows straight to the Gnars treasury on Base — the site funds the DAO by being used.
Need some ETH?
With the Support Gnars treasury box ticked, 0.5% of every trade routes straight to the Gnars Collective Treasury — already behind 15 skatable sculptures around the world, ambassador sponsorships, and infrastructure for a network of shredders from across the planet.

Rider vaults are ERC-4626 vaults on Base — deposits earn yield there and the split settles onchain. The Gnars Builder subnet stake locks MOR (a LayerZero OFT on Base) in the BuildersV4 contract, withdrawable by the staker alone after a 7-day lock.

Base-native under the hood
- Account abstraction with sponsored gas — smart accounts by default, so a first-timer's vote or bid costs them nothing.
- Social and email login next to every major wallet — built for skaters, not just crypto natives.
- Farcaster mini-app integration — the auction and stake flows run inside the feed.
- Mobile-first: every DAO feature works on a phone.
What Gnars brings to Base is an audience crypto doesn't reach on its own: skate, BMX, and surf culture, funding real riders and real videos through a DAO that actually executes onchain.
