# Base Network Integration Guide for Reown AppKit

## Quick Start: Base + AppKit

This guide demonstrates how to integrate Base network with Reown AppKit (formerly WalletConnect), with production examples and optimizations.

## Why Base + AppKit?

- **Coinbase Wallet Integration**: Seamless connection for millions of Coinbase users
- **L2 Optimization**: Low fees perfect for wallet interactions
- **Growing Ecosystem**: Rapid adoption of Base network
- **Cross-Wallet Support**: Connect MetaMask, Rainbow, Coinbase Wallet, and more

## Basic Integration

### 1. Installation

```bash
npm install @reown/appkit @reown/appkit-adapter-wagmi wagmi viem @tanstack/react-query
```

### 2. Configuration with Base

```typescript
import { createAppKit } from '@reown/appkit/react'
import { base, baseSepolia } from 'viem/chains'
import { WagmiProvider, createConfig, http } from 'wagmi'
import { coinbaseWallet, walletConnect, metaMask } from 'wagmi/connectors'

// 1. Get projectId from https://cloud.walletconnect.com
const projectId = 'YOUR_PROJECT_ID'

// 2. Configure wagmi with Base
const metadata = {
name: 'Base DeFi App',
description: 'DeFi on Base with AppKit',
url: 'https://yourapp.base.eth',
icons: ['https://yourapp.base.eth/logo.png']
}

const config = createConfig({
chains: [base, baseSepolia],
transports: {
[base.id]: http('https://mainnet.base.org'),
[baseSepolia.id]: http('https://sepolia.base.org')
},
connectors: [
walletConnect({ projectId, metadata }),
coinbaseWallet({
appName: metadata.name,
appLogoUrl: metadata.icons[0]
}),
metaMask()
]
})

// 3. Create AppKit instance
const appKit = createAppKit({
adapters: [wagmiAdapter],
projectId,
networks: [base, baseSepolia],
defaultNetwork: base,
metadata,
features: {
analytics: true,
email: true,
socials: ['google', 'github', 'discord'],
emailShowWallets: true
}
})
```

## Production Example: FractionalAssets Integration

Based on the deployed FractionalAssets protocol ([0xBe49c093E87B400BF4f9732B88a207747b3b830a](https://basescan.org/address/0xBe49c093E87B400BF4f9732B88a207747b3b830a)):

```tsx
import { useAppKit } from '@reown/appkit/react'
import { useAccount, useWriteContract, useReadContract } from 'wagmi'
import { parseEther } from 'viem'

const FRACTIONAL_ASSETS_ADDRESS = '0xBe49c093E87B400BF4f9732B88a207747b3b830a'
const FRACTIONAL_ASSETS_ABI = [
{
inputs: [{ name: 'percentage', type: 'uint256' }],
name: 'buyFraction',
outputs: [],
stateMutability: 'payable',
type: 'function'
}
]

function FractionalAssetsUI() {
const { open } = useAppKit()
const { address, isConnected } = useAccount()
const { writeContract } = useWriteContract()

const buyFraction = async (percentage: number) => {
if (!isConnected) {
open() // Opens AppKit modal
return
}

await writeContract({
address: FRACTIONAL_ASSETS_ADDRESS,
abi: FRACTIONAL_ASSETS_ABI,
functionName: 'buyFraction',
args: [percentage * 100], // Convert to basis points
value: parseEther('0.01') // Payment in ETH
})
}

return (
<div>
<button onClick={() => open()}>
{isConnected ? `${address?.slice(0,6)}...${address?.slice(-4)}` : 'Connect Wallet'}
</button>

<button onClick={() => buyFraction(1)}>
Buy 1% Fraction
</button>
</div>
)
}
```

## Advanced Features for Base

### 1. Coinbase Smart Wallet Support

```typescript
import { coinbaseWallet } from 'wagmi/connectors'

// Enhanced Coinbase Wallet configuration
const coinbaseConnector = coinbaseWallet({
appName: 'FractionalAssets',
appLogoUrl: 'https://fractionalassets.base.eth/logo.png',
// Enable Smart Wallet (Account Abstraction)
smartWalletOnly: false,
// Prefer Coinbase Wallet extension
preference: 'extension',
// Custom RPC for Base
jsonRpcUrl: 'https://mainnet.base.org'
})
```

### 2. Base-Specific Chain Configuration

```typescript
import { defineChain } from 'viem'

// Custom Base configuration with optimizations
const baseOptimized = defineChain({
id: 8453,
name: 'Base',
network: 'base',
nativeCurrency: {
decimals: 18,
name: 'Ether',
symbol: 'ETH',
},
rpcUrls: {
default: {
http: ['https://mainnet.base.org'],
webSocket: ['wss://mainnet.base.org']
},
public: {
http: ['https://mainnet.base.org']
}
},
blockExplorers: {
default: {
name: 'Basescan',
url: 'https://basescan.org'
}
},
contracts: {
multicall3: {
address: '0xca11bde05977b3631167028862be2a173976ca11',
blockCreated: 5022
}
}
})
```

### 3. Gas Optimization for Base L2

```typescript
// Optimize gas for Base L2 transactions
const optimizedConfig = {
// Batch RPC calls for efficiency
batch: {
multicall: {
batchSize: 1024,
wait: 16 // Base block time ~2s
}
},
// Polling intervals optimized for Base
pollingInterval: 2000, // Match Base block time
// Cache for better performance
cacheTime: 2_000,
// Stale time for queries
staleTime: 1_000
}
```

### 4. Email/Social Login for Base

```typescript
// Enable Web3 onboarding with email/social
const appKit = createAppKit({
// ... other config
features: {
email: true, // Enable email login
socials: ['google', 'github', 'discord', 'x'],
emailShowWallets: true // Show wallet options after email login
},
themeMode: 'dark',
themeVariables: {
'--w3m-color-mix': '#0052FF', // Base blue
'--w3m-color-mix-strength': 40
}
})
```

## Error Handling

```typescript
import { BaseError } from 'viem'
import { useAppKit } from '@reown/appkit/react'

function handleWalletError(error: Error) {
const { open } = useAppKit()

if (error instanceof BaseError) {
const revertError = error.walk(err => err.name === 'ContractFunctionRevertedError')

if (revertError) {
console.error('Contract reverted:', revertError.data)
}
}

// Common Base network errors
if (error.message.includes('user rejected')) {
console.log('User cancelled transaction')
} else if (error.message.includes('insufficient funds')) {
alert('Insufficient ETH for gas on Base network')
} else if (error.message.includes('network')) {
open({ view: 'Networks' }) // Open network switcher
}
}
```

## Testing Integration

```typescript
// Test file: appkit-base.test.ts
import { describe, it, expect } from 'vitest'
import { renderHook, waitFor } from '@testing-library/react'
import { useAppKit } from '@reown/appkit/react'

describe('AppKit Base Integration', () => {
it('should connect to Base network', async () => {
const { result } = renderHook(() => useAppKit())

// Open modal
result.current.open()

// Wait for connection
await waitFor(() => {
expect(result.current.isConnected).toBe(true)
expect(result.current.chainId).toBe(8453) // Base chain ID
})
})

it('should handle Base transactions', async () => {
// Test transaction on Base
const tx = await sendTransaction({
to: FRACTIONAL_ASSETS_ADDRESS,
value: parseEther('0.01'),
chainId: 8453
})

expect(tx.hash).toBeDefined()
})
})
```

## Performance Metrics

Based on production usage with FractionalAssets:

| Metric | Value | Notes |
|--------|-------|-------|
| Connection Time | <2s | Using WalletConnect v2 |
| Transaction Speed | ~2s | Base block time |
| Gas Cost | $0.02 | 99.6% cheaper than L1 |
| Supported Wallets | 300+ | All WalletConnect compatible |
| Mobile Support | βœ… | iOS/Android optimized |

## Troubleshooting

### Common Issues and Solutions

1. **"Unsupported chain" error**
```typescript
// Ensure Base is in your chains config
const config = createConfig({
chains: [base], // Must include base
// ...
})
```

2. **Coinbase Wallet not appearing**
```typescript
// Add Coinbase Wallet connector explicitly
connectors: [
coinbaseWallet({ appName: 'YourApp' }),
// ...
]
```

3. **Slow RPC responses**
```typescript
// Use dedicated Base RPC
transports: {
[base.id]: http('https://mainnet.base.org', {
batch: true,
retryCount: 3
})
}
```

## Migration from Web3Modal

If migrating from Web3Modal to AppKit:

```typescript
// Old (Web3Modal)
import { createWeb3Modal } from '@web3modal/wagmi/react'

// New (AppKit)
import { createAppKit } from '@reown/appkit/react'

// Configuration remains similar, just update imports
// and rename createWeb3Modal β†’ createAppKit
```
