At it’s most fundamental level, the internet is comprised of colors and words.
Digitised and expressed in infinite forms. The dual primitives for every idea, story and image that exists online and onchain.
The Colors and Words of the internet are now available to own on base. Infinitely customisable, composable and fully onchain. An evolving archive of onchain cultural expression through Colors and Words.
Our mission is to bring together the collections, projects and resources in the Colors & Words community to inspire more builders, artists and collectors to join the expanding Metastory.
Words of The Year reflect the cultural, political, and technological zeitgeist. They emerge from global conversations and trends; snapshots of collective experiences, societal shifts and internet culture.
The CWOMA Gallery present three Words of The Year from the world’s most popular dictionaries, paired with their autheticated brand Base Colors.
Each Base Word is a unique 1/1 and fully onchain.

BRAIN ROT
“(noun.) Supposed deterioration of a person’s mental or intellectual state, especially viewed as a result of overconsumption of material (now particularly online content) considered to be trivial or unchallenging.”
Fun fact: The first recorded use of ‘brain rot’ was found in 1854 in Henry David Thoreau’s book Walden.
“Division into two sharply distinct opposites; especially, a state in which the opinions, beliefs, or interests of a group or society no longer range along a continuum but become concentrated at opposing extremes.”
“To use methods such as visualization (= picturing something in your mind) and affirmation (= repeating positive phrases) to help you imagine achieving something you want, in the belief that doing so will make it more likely to happen”
