### Switching to Base Network

If you're not already on **Base Mainnet**, your wallet may prompt you to switch. If not, you can add it manually:

**Network Name: Base Mainnet**&#x20;

**New RPC URL:** [**https://mainnet.base.org**](https://mainnet.base.org)&#x20;

**Chain ID: 8453**&#x20;

**Currency Symbol: ETH**&#x20;

**Block Explorer URL:** [**https://basescan.org**](https://basescan.org)

Most modern wallets will automatically detect and switch networks when prompted by PredictBase.
