Base Mainnet Experience: Low Cost, Completed in 3 Minutes Quickly

Introduction#

Base is an Ethereum L2 network built on the OP Stack and incubated by Coinbase.

The latest official news is that the mainnet is now open to builders. Developers can deploy their contracts on the Base mainnet for testing. For regular users, there is an NFT available for free minting to experience the smoothness of the mainnet.

Although Base has always claimed not to issue tokens, early adopters may receive unexpected rewards (note: this view is unofficial and just a speculation).

Interaction#

This interaction can be divided into the following 3 steps:

Cross-chain ETH
Sign information
Mint NFT

Cross-chain#

Currently, the mainnet is only available to developers, so there is no frontend page for cross-chain functionality. However, in practice, you can perform a transfer operation on the mainnet to achieve cross-chain functionality.

Simply transfer ETH to the address: 0x49048044D57e1C92A77f79988d21Fa8fAF74E97e. After the transaction is successful, you can see the contract on Base after two minutes.

Sign specified information#

First, find the information to be signed, which is the information in the genesis block.

Open the basescan signature tool.

Execute the following steps: connect the wallet, enter the hash, and click Write.
