How to deal with token IDs?

The last vote was in favor of an airdrop of the full collection (as clones) on Base. See the results here:

One of the follow-up questions is: How should we deal with token IDs?

Sometimes, people collect NFTs based on their token IDs. For example, a low token ID may be desirable, or one that matches a person's birth year or a specific date. When airdropping on Base, we can only do it for free if we assign new token IDs to the NFTs being dropped. Keeping the existing token IDs would make the airdrop much more expensive due to technical reasons. Unfortunately, this is something we cannot sponsor. Therefore, if we keep the same token IDs, the airdrop will incur a gas cost. We estimate this cost to be around $0.01 (1 cent) per NFT.

Our team’s opinion is to simply assign new token IDs. The old NFTs will, of course, retain their original IDs. Keeping the token IDs will also delay the drop due to increased technical efforts.

To vote: We airdropped an ERC20 token representing your Binder Battles score on Base (token address = 0x18Af9b7a05125dddB789c19A304DF54224b650Dc). Only the top 3,333 Binder Battlers have received the airdrop (if they had a connected EVM address).
