Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+
• Foundry (for contracts)
• A wallet with ETH on Base mainnet

Contract Deployment

1. Install Foundry dependencies:

cd contracts
forge install OpenZeppelin/openzeppelin-contracts --no-commit
forge install foundry-rs/forge-std --no-commit

2. Create .env file in contracts/:

PRIVATE_KEY=your_private_key_here
FEE_RECIPIENT=0xYourAddress
BASE_RPC_URL=https://mainnet.base.org
BASESCAN_API_KEY=your_basescan_api_key

3. Deploy to Base mainnet:

forge script script/Deploy.s.sol:DeployScript \
  --rpc-url $BASE_RPC_URL \
  --broadcast \
  --verify

4. Note the deployed TokenFactory address for the frontend.

Frontend Setup

1. Install dependencies:

cd frontend
npm install

2. Create .env.local file:

NEXT_PUBLIC_WALLETCONNECT_PROJECT_ID=your_project_id
NEXT_PUBLIC_FACTORY_ADDRESS=0xYourDeployedFactoryAddress
NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL=https://your-domain.com

3. Run development server:

npm run dev

4. Open http://localhost:3000

Get a WalletConnect Project ID

1. Go to WalletConnect Cloud
2. Create a new project
3. Copy the Project ID to your .env.local

Token Creation

Each token you create has:

• Custom Name & Symbol - Choose your branding
• Custom Decimals - Standard 18, or 6/8 for stablecoin-like tokens
• Fixed Supply - All tokens minted to your wallet on creation
• Ownership - You're the owner with burn capability

Creation Fee

A small creation fee (0.0005 ETH, ~$1.50) is charged per token deployment. This covers:

• Gas optimization
• Contract verification
• Platform maintenance

Farcaster Mini App

Base Token Forge works as a Farcaster Frame/Mini App:

1. Deploy to Vercel or similar
2. Update NEXT_PUBLIC_APP_URL in your environment
3. Share the link on Farcaster - it will render as an interactive Frame

Tech Stack

• Contracts: Solidity, Foundry, OpenZeppelin
• Frontend: Next.js 14, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
• Web3: wagmi, viem, RainbowKit
• Chain: Base (Ethereum L2)

Security

• Contracts use battle-tested OpenZeppelin ERC20
• No admin functions on deployed tokens
• Fully auditable, open source code
