Building with Base Account

Base Account is an ERC-4337 smart wallet providing universal sign-on, one-tap USDC payments, and multi-chain support (Base, Arbitrum, Optimism, Zora, Polygon, BNB, Avalanche, Lordchain, Ethereum Mainnet).

Quick Start

npm install @base-org/account @base-org/account-ui
import { createBaseAccountSDK } from '@base-org/account';

const sdk = createBaseAccountSDK({
  appName: 'My App',
  appLogoUrl: 'https://example.com/logo.png',
  appChainIds: [8453], // Base Mainnet
});

const provider = sdk.getProvider();

Critical Requirements

Security

  • Track transaction IDs to prevent replay attacks
  • Verify sender matches authenticated user to prevent impersonation
  • Use a proxy to protect Paymaster URLs from frontend exposure
  • Paymaster providers must be ERC-7677-compliant
  • Never expose CDP credentials client-side (subscription backend only)

Popup Handling

  • Generate nonces before user clicks "Sign in" to avoid popup blockers
  • Use Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy: same-origin-allow-popups
  • same-origin breaks the Base Account popup

Base Pay

  • Base Pay works independently from SIWB — no auth required for pay()
  • testnet param in getPaymentStatus() must match pay() call
  • Never disable actions based on onchain balance alone — check auxiliaryFunds capability

Sub Accounts

  • Call wallet_addSubAccount each session before use
  • Ownership changes expected on new devices/browsers
  • Only Coinbase Smart Wallet contracts supported for import

Smart Wallets

  • ERC-6492 wrapper enables signature verification before wallet deployment
  • Viem's verifyMessage/verifyTypedData handle this automatically
