Bridging to Base
Bridging to Base
To use PredictBase, your wallet must have:
USDC (used to place bets)
ETH (used to pay for gas/transactions)
Both assets must be on the Base network, not Ethereum Mainnet or any other chain.
What is Bridging?
Bridging is the process of moving assets (like USDC or ETH) from one blockchain (e.g., Ethereum) to another (e.g., Base).
This is necessary because tokens are chain-specific — you can’t use Ethereum-based USDC directly on Base.
Recommended Bridge: Base Official Bridge
The easiest and most reliable way to bridge is through the official Base Bridge:
🔗 https://bridge.base.org
Asset
Purpose
Amount Recommended
Gas for transactions on Base
Step-by-Step: Bridging Funds
Connect your wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase, etc.)
Select Ethereum (or the chain you’re sending from) as the source
Choose Base as the destination
Select the asset: USDC or ETH
Enter the amount and click Bridge
Approve the transaction in your wallet
⏱️ Bridging may take a few minutes depending on network congestion.
You can bridge both ETH and USDC in one session.
Gas fees are cheaper than many Layer 2 networks.
Some centralized exchanges (like Coinbase) now support direct withdrawal to Base — no bridge needed.
Important Notes
Don’t try to send assets directly to Base using Send in MetaMask — always use a bridge.
Always verify you’re on the correct URL: https://bridge.base.org
PredictBase currently only supports Base USDC (token address: 0x833589fCD6EDB6e08f4c7c32d4f71B54BDA02913)
Once you’ve bridged your funds, head to Placing a Bet to make your first prediction!
