Fund Your Wallet
How to add the Go Live fee and a little ETH to your wallet on Base, so you can pay the one-time fee to go live.
Going live has a one-time tokenization fee, plus a small network fee paid in ETH. Both are paid from your signing wallet on the Base network. This guide shows you how to get them there before you start Go Live.
In this guide: what you'll need, how to add funds, and how to check they've arrived.
What you'll need
| What | How much | Why |
|---|---|---|
| The fee token on Base | The tokenization fee | Pays the one-time fee when you go live |
| ETH on Base | A small amount | Pays the network fee ("gas") when you sign |
The first card of the Go Live page, "How tokenization works", shows the exact fee and which token it's paid in. Check it before you send anything.
Step 1: Copy your wallet address
If you signed up with email, Google, or GitHub, Vanar made a wallet for you. You saw its address on the "Your Vanar wallet is ready" card after signing up, with a Copy button. It also appears as the "Signing wallet" on the Wallet step of Go Live.
If you signed in with your own wallet (such as MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet), copy the address from that wallet.
Step 2: Send the fee token and ETH to that address on Base
Use whichever exchange or wallet you normally use to buy crypto. When you send the funds:
- Choose Base as the network.
- Paste your wallet address.
- Send enough of the fee token to cover the fee, and a small amount of ETH for network fees.
Good to know: always choose the Base network when sending. Funds sent on a different network won't show up in your Vanar wallet, and they can be hard or impossible to get back.
Tip: send a small test amount first if you haven't used this address before. Once it arrives, send the rest.
Step 3: Check it arrived
Go to the Go Live page. The Wallet step shows both balances and marks each one "covered" when you have enough. If you're short, the Wallet and Review steps both tell you, so you'll know before you sign.
If you use your own wallet, the balance should also show there once the transfer completes.
Good to know
- The fee is paid once. You pay it when you go live, not every month.
- Your payout wallet is separate. The wallet you sign with pays the fee. Buyer payments go to your payout wallet, which you'll set during Go Live if you sell Products. You can also set it earlier from the "Get paid" row of your Set up checklist. See Settings and wallets.
