How to take part, step by step
How to get the most out of Base
  1. 1
    Before anything, understand what you are buying: there is no programme. The steps below are proposed by airdrops.io, an airdrop tracker, not by Base. If you go in, go in knowing that.
  2. 2
    Move funds to the Base network and use it: bridges, swaps and liquidity on its DEXs, some perpetuals, prediction markets, an NFT and a Basename. Small amounts spaced out over weeks, which is what the tracker says looks like a real user.
  3. 3
    The route the tracker recommends is the Base App with your Coinbase profile linked: «It’s recommended to use the Base app to farm Base, and link to your KYC’d Coinbase profile if you have one».
  4. 4
    CAREFUL WITH THAT: the Base App runs on TWELVE networks, and what counts — according to the tracker — is only what you do on the Base chain. Check which network you are on before every transaction, or you will pay gas for nothing.
  5. 5
    And watch the house, not the trackers: the day Base moves from «we are exploring it» to a date, tokenomics or a snapshot, this entry changes completely. We watch their X and their docs.
Watch out for
  • No announced programme: you farm a possibility, not a promise
  • The gas and the capital you move are real, and are paid today
  • Neither the routes nor the weights are published by Base: a tracker proposes them
Our verdict, today

The community farms Base expecting an airdrop ever since its creator, Jesse Pollak, said they are going to explore a network token. What gets farmed is activity on the Base network itself.

How the points are allocated

The house said it, and that is all it said: «We’re going to be exploring a network token»…
+
  • The house said it, and that is all it said: «We’re going to be exploring a network token», Jesse Pollak, at BaseCamp on 15 September 2025. And in the same breath: «I will be up front with y’all, it’s early».
  • There are no tokenomics, no date, no snapshot and no eligibility criteria. None of that has been published by Base.
  • The window going around is put out by airdrops.io, a tracker, not by Base: it writes that the network «announced it’s beginning to explore launching a network token with potential deployment between Q2-Q4 2026». The word that matters is «potential», and the one writing it is not the house.
  • The same tracker proposes the routes — bridge to Base, DEX swaps and liquidity, perpetuals, prediction markets, NFTs and Basenames — and says what they are: «Eligibility Criteria: Likely based on ecosystem participation». «Likely». It is their bet, not a scoring rule.
  • There is no referral possible here, and it is not an oversight: Base is a network, and a network has no referral programme.

What would count, according to airdrops.io: real activity on the Base chain —bridging funds, swapping, registering a Basename—. And the comfortable route you already know from the entry next door: Base App with your Coinbase profile, the network set to Base. CAREFUL: the app runs on twelve networks, and only what is done on the Base chain would leave a footprint. The neat play: the app's welcome bonus —$10 or $25 USDC— pays for your entry. You collect today while you build the history for tomorrow.

  • How do you earn it? the real scoring rules: Base has published none.
  • How often do they credit? there is no cadence: there is no programme crediting anything. Checked in their docs, their blog and their X account. 30 Aug
  • What day does it expire? a date from Base: they have published none.
  • What do you need to get in? there is no gate: the network is public and there is no programme. Checked in their docs and their X account. 30 Aug
  • Who is excluded? Base publishes no country list: it is a public network. Checked in their docs and their X account. 30 Aug
  • What does it cost? the cost is the gas on whatever you do, and depends on that. Checked in their docs. 30 Aug
  • Is there a token, and what does someone joining with my link get? there is no referral: it is a network, not a product with a programme. Checked in their docs and their X account.

Base is a public network and publishes no country list. Careful: the route the tracker recommends — the Base App with a verified Coinbase profile — does have its own exclusions, and they are in the app’s entry.

Coinbase, which incubated it and has run it since 2023

What you farm here is the possibility that there will be a programme. The gas and the capital are today’s; the token is for whenever they say so, if they do.
