How to buy Bitcoin on Base: A Beginner's Guide (Basics)

Base has been gaining more and more attention since its TVL soared in about 90 days.

Base is a layer 2 solution for the Ethereum blockchain. Since there is no native token, this Bitcoin project on the second layer network supported by Coinbase has attracted special attention.

As a novice, before you start buying Bitcoin on Base, please follow the following steps:

1. Download a crypto wallet:

If you are using a laptop, download the Metamask extension or other crypto wallet on your Chrome browser.
