Base: Minimal wallet preparation recommended—run native activity, produce basic content, use guild and BaseApp, and improve your on-chain score. Secure available Discord/guild roles and keep a small ETH balance on your Base wallet (recommended 0.01 ETH) to avoid missing future role-gated distributions or token drops.
Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 network built on the OP Stack, incubated by Coinbase, offering a secure, low-cost, developer-friendly platform for building onchain. It is secured by Ethereum and aims to help onboard the next billion users to crypto.
