Masa, the identity infrastructure for building web3 communities, is thrilled to announce the launch of Base Camp on Coinbase’s Base blockchain testnet. The launch of Base Camp includes Masa Soulbound Identity, .base soulnames, and mainnet allowlist.
Base Camp: The First Soulbound Identity on Base
Masa is bringing our signature-soulbound token application for web3 users to the Base blockchain, empowering users to mint their soulbound identity as well as claim a .base soulbound domain, aka a soulname. On Base Camp testnet, users will be able to mint their soulbound identity token and .base soulnames as simply as minting an NFT.
.Base Soulnames
Masa Base Camp users can now mint and claim .base soulnames on testnet. A soulname is a human-readable address that resolves to a user’s wallet and Soulbound Identity. Base soulnames can be any combination of letters, numbers, and/or emojis. Think vitalik.base, 123.base or 🔵.base.
Similar to other domain services, single to triple character names and emojis will be the rarest and most sought after. They are simple, recognizable and easy to use.
Your .base soulname can help track your loyalty, participation, and fair reward distribution, while preventing bots. As .base soulnames become adopted across the Base ecosystem, we envision them unlocking utilities including:
- Personal web3 branding
- Airdrop and allowlist registration
- One-click NFT registration
- Membership badges
- Achievement badges
- Access to DeFi lending
- DAO governance voting
…and more.
Note: Base domain names minted on testnet will not carry over to mainnet, but will secure your spot on the allowlist. See below.
.Base Domain Mainnet Allowlist
Get on the allowlist to be one of the first to mint your .base name when mainnet goes live! This will give you the opportunity to mint rare and sought-after .base names before they open to the public.
