Step-by-step detailed explanation of Base mainnet domain name "Masa" foundry tutorial
The original “The Ultimate Guide to Mint.Base Domain Names on Base Mainnet”, author: Masa, compiled by Odaily Planet Daily jk.
Introduction
It’s official, Masa’s .Base domain was launched on the Base mainnet on August 9th. With the launch of the Base mainnet, Masa moved quickly to become one of the first projects to launch a .base domain name on the new blockchain.
On the Base test network, Masa’s .base domain name service is the number one “Base-based” domain name service, and has been minted more than 280,000 times by 230,000+ unique wallets.
In the past 2 months, Masa has cooperated with Base officials to mint more than 50,000 Soulbound Token (SBT) for the Base community (such as Dackies, CloudBase, Innovaz, Vaissel, etc.).
Now that .Base domains are launching on the Base mainnet, here’s everything you need to know.
Pre-registration & .base Domain Release Schedule
All users minting .base domains on the Base testnet will be automatically registered on the mainnet pre-registration list and will be given a 2-hour early access window to mint rare .base domains before minting is open to the general public.
Any .base domains minted on the testnet will not be transferred to the mainnet. All those on the pre-registration list will be able to quickly mint their rare and personalized .base domains.
