To get to Base mainnet, all you need is a crypto wallet and some ETH. Currently, there are six easy ways to do so. (All of these methods will allow you to mint a commemorative “Bridge to Base” NFT as a reward too, so get to work!)
The first way is via the official Base bridge, which just rolled out the week prior. The Base bridge currently supports the transfer of any of the four whitelisted ERC-20 tokens: ETH, Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH (cbETH), DAI or USDC. Do note that users are recommended to bridge ETH onto Base first as ETH is the gas token on the chain and will be necessary for all transactions.
