📲 How to Create & Connect Your Wallet to Base L2
- Download a Self-Custodial Wallet: Install the Coinbase Wallet extension or MetaMask from official app stores or official sites (e.g.,
coinbase.com/walletormetamask.io). - Create a New Wallet: Click "Create New Wallet", set a strong local password, and write down your 12-word Secret Recovery Phrase.
- Switch Network to Base L2: In your wallet dropdown, select Base (Base Mainnet). If it is not listed, add the network RPC:
- Network Name: Base Mainnet
- RPC URL:
https://mainnet.base.org - Chain ID:
8453 - Currency Symbol:
ETH
- Connect to RCS Sovereign Terminal: Visit web3-social-connect.web.app, click "Connect Wallet" at the top right, and approve the read-only connection request.
🛡️ Protecting Your Security & Keeping Private Data Private
Self-custody grants you complete financial freedom, but it comes with personal security responsibility:
- 🔒 Never Share Your Secret Recovery Phrase or Private Key: RCS DISTRIBUTION AND RETAIL, LLC, Coinbase, and MetaMask support staff will NEVER ask for your 12-word recovery phrase or private keys. Anyone who asks is trying to scam you.
- 📝 Store Your Recovery Phrase Offline: Write your 12-word phrase on physical paper or stamp it into metal. Never save it in screenshots, email drafts, cloud storage, or plain text files on your device.
- 🔍 Verify URLs Before Signing: Always bookmark web3-social-connect.web.app. Check the address bar to ensure you are not on a phishing copycat site.
- 🚫 Connecting vs. Token Approvals: Connecting your wallet simply shares your public wallet address (like an email address). Never approve unlimited token allowances unless you trust the specific smart contract.
