What problem does it solve? AI agents often have stale or incorrect knowledge about Base L2 development — wrong gas assumptions, hallucinated contract addresses, and confusion about Smart Wallet, Paymaster sponsorship, and the OP Stack bridging flow. This Skill provides verified chain configuration, contract addresses, and working code patterns for building on Base. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Deployment & Verification: Foundry and Hardhat configurations for Base Mainnet (chain ID 8453) and Base Sepolia, including Basescan and Blockscout contract verification commands. - Smart Wallet & Paymaster Integration: wagmi and OnchainKit patterns for passkey-based Coinbase Smart Wallet, EIP-5792 batch transactions, and gasless transactions via the Coinbase Developer Platform paymaster. - Gas & Bridging Guidance: OP Stack gas model explanation (L2 execution fee plus L1 data fee via GasPriceOracle) and step-by-step ETH bridging between Ethereum L1 and Base L2. - Use Case: You want to add a gasless NFT mint to your React app on Base. Use the Skill's wagmi useWriteContracts pattern with the CDP paymaster URL to sponsor the transaction, and consult the error-code reference when the paymaster rejects a UserOperation. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to deploy a Foundry contract to Base Sepolia with verification, or to set up a wagmi app with Coinbase Smart Wallet and a sponsored gasless transaction on Base.
