Base
The home district. The season opens here, the largest block of its quests lives here, and every other network is measured against it.

Its part of the season
Base is where a player learns the whole vocabulary: hold gas, hold a stablecoin, make a trade, make a deposit, and then do it again somewhere else in the same city. Everything the other two networks ask for is a variation on something first done here — which is why this is also the only network carrying team quests.
Quests
Getting on your feet
| Quest | Asks for | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Base Reserve | Hold 0.00006 ETH or more on Base for gas | 20 |
| Pocket Dollars | Hold 0.15 USDC or more | 20 |
Fifteen cents is not capital. It is proof that the wallet is ready to trade.
Trading
| Quest | Asks for | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Opening Trade | A swap of 0.20 USDC or more on Uniswap | 60 |
| Return Ticket | One more swap of 0.20 USDC or more on Uniswap, either direction | 30 |
| Market Circuit | A swap of 0.20 USDC or more on Aerodrome | 60 |
| Second Lap | A second swap of 0.20 USDC or more on Aerodrome | 30 |
| Final Exchange | A swap of 0.30 USDC or more on any venue the season recognises | 120 |
Two venues, and each is visited twice on purpose: the first swap shows the venue works, the second shows the player does. Both Aerodrome designs count — classic pools and Slipstream.
Lending
| Quest | Asks for | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Reserve Vault | Hold 0.15 aUSDC or more — a supplied position in Aave v3 | 120 |
The deposit is not spent: it earns and can be withdrawn at any moment. The check reads the aUSDC receipt token, so the position has to still be open when the quest is closed.
Team quests
| Quest | Seats | Points per seat |
|---|---|---|
| Midnight Crew | 7 | 120 |
| Dock Crew | 5 | 80 |
| Closing Crew | 3 | 60 |
A team quest pays one pool split across the seats once the last seat is filled. A team that never fills pays nothing. See Team quests.
How verification works here
- Balances are read straight from the token contract for the address on the player's profile.
- Swaps are matched against the pool factories of the venues named above, so a trade on an unlisted venue does not count. The pool must also pair against a token the season recognises and hold real liquidity — a self-made pool with a self-made token does not qualify.
- Deposits are read as ownership of the receipt token, not as a historical event.
Nothing here requires an approval, a transfer or a signature beyond the one that links the wallet. Full detail: Proof and verification.
Denshin Sync
The daily Denshin Sync runs on Base. The contract is 0xCCFFb22048d9E1fDd04F5F3B9681cC0C95a0f654 — verified source on Basescan.
A sync here costs only gas, a fraction of a cent, paid in ETH on Base. It sends no value, moves no tokens and asks for no approval. Any wallet linked to your profile can send it.
Starting here
Keep a little ETH for gas and 0.15 USDC for the balance quest. Trading quests start at 0.20 USDC per fresh swap. Getting started walks the whole path.
