Base Onboarding

How To Get Going on Base (fast, safe, minimal steps)

The goal is simple: get you from zero → Base wallet → funded → on-chain. Once you’re set up, buying Yeesh/7EVN is one clean swap.

📲Open Invite (Best Start) ⬇️Download Base (Official) 🔎Verify Contract

Safety rule: never share your seed phrase. Only trust tokens if the contract matches exactly.

The fast path (3 steps)

Do these in order. You’re done in minutes.

Step 1 Open the invite link
Recommended

Use this on your phone. It routes you to install Base, then opens it.

📲Open Invite
Already have Base? The invite still opens the app.
Step 2 Create your wallet (secure it)
Do not skip
  • Tap Create new wallet (or Import if you already have one).
  • Write down your recovery phrase offline.
  • Enable Face ID / passcode.
Base/Coinbase support will never ask for your seed phrase. If anyone does — it’s a scam.
Step 3 Fund with ETH on Base
Gas + swaps
  • Add ETH on Base (enough to swap + leave some for gas).
  • You can buy inside the app (region-dependent) or send from an exchange.
Keep a little ETH after swapping so you can transact again later.

Buy Yeesh / 7EVN (after you’re onboarded)

Once Base is installed and funded, buying is one swap. Use the contract address to avoid lookalikes.

FAQ (optional — for people who ask extra questions)

Safety How do I avoid scams?
Read once
  • Never share your seed phrase. Ever.
  • Only trust the token if the contract matches exactly.
  • Don’t let anyone “help” by taking control of your phone.
Gas Why do I need ETH on Base?
Normal

ETH pays transaction fees on Base. Keep a little after swaps so you can transact again.

Troubleshooting Swap not working?
Usually this
  • No ETH left for gas → add a little ETH on Base.
  • Wrong network → make sure you’re on Base.
  • Pending → give it a minute; don’t spam retries.
