In the beginning, man was BORED. And then he created beautiful things. Agriculture, machines, art, and music. But then man became less BORED. He invented memecoins and being BORED became difficult. Impatience, vomit-inducing charts, asking for roadmap, wen wen wen wen wen wen wen wen!!?

Being BORED is a meme that rejects the idea of the “memecoin casino”, constant trading, unhealthy levels of connectivity, zero-sum games, staring at charts, and general stress and anxiety. The intention for BORED is to experiment with a type of “Network State” within the Base ecosystem. One that, as Vitalik Buterin puts it, is a fun “positive sum version” of the memecoin trend that generally feels very PvP (Player vs Player). Being BORED is a very good thing. It leads to creativity, invention, and focus. We want more people to be BORED.

It would be fair to compare BORED to a reputation score. The more you have, the longer you hold, the more everyone knows of your elevated status.
