How to bridge to Base Mainnet

Base uses ETH as the native currency to pay for transactions, including to manage trades on Krav.

If you don't have any assets on Base, there are a number of ways to move them there.

  1. Base Bridge

    The Base Bridge UI (bridge.base.org) is not available for mainnet during the current developer access period -- it can only be used to bridge to testnet.

  2. Portal Proxy Contract

    You can bridge ETH from Ethereum to Base by sending ETH to portal.base.eth or the following contract address:

    0x49048044D57e1C92A77f79988d21Fa8fAF74E97e
