Overview
Funding the wallet adds USDC through Coinbase Onramp, enabling deposits, top-ups, and onramp purchases. It supports multiple payment methods and ensures enough balance for sends, trades, or USDC requests on Base.
How This Skill Works
Authenticate the wallet, open the funding UI with npx awal@latest show, then choose an amount and payment method to complete a Coinbase Pay transaction. After payment confirmation, USDC is deposited to the wallet on the Base network. If funding isn’t available, you can have someone send USDC on Base to your wallet address.
When to Use It
- You want to fund or top up your wallet with USDC.
- Your wallet balance isn’t sufficient for a send or trade operation.
- You or a user asks, 'how do I get USDC?'
- You prefer using Coinbase Onramp methods (Apple Pay, card, bank transfer, or Coinbase transfer).
- You want funds deposited as USDC on Base for immediate use.
Quick Start
- Step 1: Run npx awal@latest show to open the funding UI.
- Step 2: Click Fund, select an amount (preset or custom), and choose a payment method.
- Step 3: Complete the payment via Coinbase Pay; USDC will be deposited on Base after confirmation.
Best Practices
- Check authentication with 'npx awal@latest status' before attempting funding.
- Verify Coinbase Onramp availability in your region to ensure a smooth deposit.
- Use preset amounts for speed, or enter a custom amount as needed.
- After payment, verify the updated balance with 'npx awal@latest balance' and confirm USDC on Base.
- If funding isn’t available, consider having USDC sent to your wallet address on Base.
Example Use Cases
- A user tops up $50 via Apple Pay using Coinbase Pay and receives USDC on Base.
- A trader funds the wallet to cover a pending USDC trade.
- Card or Apple Pay funding is instant, while bank transfers take 1-3 days.
- If onramp funding fails, a human sends USDC to the wallet address on Base.
- A user asks how to get USDC and is guided to fund through Coinbase Onramp.
