ship a consumer app on Base
Base's wedge is consumer distribution and low-cost EVM execution. The credible building blocks are account abstraction for gasless onboarding, native payments, liquidity, and price data — composed the same way as on any EVM chain, using protocols the registry verifies for Base.

Recommended stack
ZeroDev
Smart accounts with gas sponsorship and session keys so first-time Base users can transact without holding ETH — the core of a smooth consumer onboarding flow.
x402
HTTP-native payments fit consumer and agentic checkout flows on Base without bespoke billing infrastructure.
Uniswap
In-app swaps and liquidity routing for apps that need users to move between assets on Base.
Chainlink
Price feeds for any in-app pricing, rewards, or value display on Base.
Considered and excluded
- safe — Better suited to multisig treasury and admin control than to consumer wallet onboarding; the registry has no Base-verified consumer-onboarding record for it.
Risks
- Base runs a centralized sequencer today; weigh liveness assumptions for value-bearing flows.
- EVM-compatibility does not guarantee a live Base deployment — confirm each dependency's Base contract addresses before production.
Next steps
- Point your deployment and RPC at Base (chain id 8453) and verify each dependency's Base addresses.
- Wire gas sponsorship through a Base paymaster so first-time users transact without ETH.
- Stage the full onboarding-to-payment path on Base Sepolia before mainnet.
