Connecting your wallet

Connect MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rabby, or any other wallet to Alien Base

Alien Base works with any standard EVM wallet. There's nothing custom on the wallet side — the app supports the standard wallet_connect and WalletConnect flows.

Last updated: July 6, 2026.

Supported wallets

• Coinbase Wallet — extension, mobile, in-app browser. Widely used on Base; native fit.

• MetaMask — extension and mobile.

• Rabby Wallet — extension. Strong UX for advanced users; auto-detects networks.

• WalletConnect-compatible wallets — Trust Wallet, Phantom (with EVM support), Ledger, Keystone, etc.

• Frame — desktop signer; useful for hardware-wallet workflows.

How to connect

Dashboard prompts you to connect a wallet on first visit

1. Visit app.alienbase.xyz.

2. Click Connect Wallet (top right).

3. Pick your wallet from the list.

4. Approve the connection in your wallet.

5. Verify the Base network is selected. The app will prompt you to switch if needed.

The wallet selector

Once connected, the Dashboard shows your full portfolio on Base — asset allocation, vault deposits, locked positions, and claimable rewards:

Adding Base manually

If your wallet doesn't auto-suggest Base, add it manually:

Field	Value
Network name	Base
RPC URL	https://mainnet.base.org (or any reputable Base RPC)
Chain ID	8453
Currency symbol	ETH
Block explorer	https://basescan.org

The official Base RPC is solid for casual use. For higher throughput or more reliability, consider a paid endpoint (Alchemy, QuickNode, Ankr). See the RPC Troubleshooting Guide.

Using a hardware wallet

Both Ledger and Keystone work with Alien Base via:

• Coinbase Wallet (Ledger via "Add Hardware Wallet" flow).

• MetaMask (Connect Hardware Wallet).

• Rabby (Connect Hardware Wallet).

• Frame (desktop signer that exposes the hardware wallet to dApps).

For the safest setup with significant balances: use a hardware wallet through Frame or Rabby, blind-sign disabled, every transaction reviewed on the device.

Disconnecting

Click your wallet address in the top-right of the app and select Disconnect. The app cannot make any further requests to your wallet until you reconnect.

Privacy / what the app sees

When you connect, Alien Base's frontend can:

• See your wallet address.

• Read your token balances and transaction history (this is on-chain anyway).

• Request signatures and transactions; your wallet always asks you to confirm.

It cannot:

• Move funds without your explicit signature.

• Drain your wallet by being "connected".

A "connected" wallet is just a session token. Approvals (token allowances) are separate — they are explicit transactions, and they're the actual mechanism by which a contract can spend your tokens. To audit and revoke them, see Managing Token Allowance.

Common issues

• "Wrong network." Switch to Base in your wallet's network selector.

• "Wallet not detected." Some browsers need the extension reloaded; some need you to disable competing wallet extensions.

• "Connect button does nothing." Pop-up blocker likely. Allow popups from app.alienbase.xyz.
