This section is provided for informational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
Prerequisites
Before acquiring KRANG, ensure you have the following:
- a compatible Web3 wallet
- access to the Base network
- sufficient ETH on Base to cover transaction fees
Step 1: Choose a Wallet
You need a digital wallet that supports the Base network.
Commonly used wallets include:
- MetaMask (desktop & mobile)
- Rabby Wallet (desktop)
- Coinbase Wallet (desktop & mobile)
- Trust Wallet (mobile)
Only download wallets from official websites or app stores to avoid scams.
Step 2: Install and Set Up a Wallet (Example: MetaMask)
- Visit the official MetaMask website and install the browser extension or mobile app.
- Create a new wallet and follow the setup instructions.
- Securely store your secret recovery phrase.
- Losing this phrase means permanent loss of access to your wallet.
- Never share it with anyone.
Step 3: Connect Your Wallet to the Base Network
MetaMask may not include the Base network by default.
You can add Base manually using the following parameters:
- Network Name: Base
- RPC URL: https://mainnet.base.org
- Chain ID: 8453
- Currency Symbol: ETH
- Block Explorer: https://basescan.org
After saving, switch your wallet to the Base network.
Step 4: Fund Your Wallet with ETH on Base
ETH is required to pay transaction fees on Base.
- Purchase ETH on a centralized exchange of your choice.
- Withdraw ETH to your wallet on the Base network.
- Ensure the correct network is selected during withdrawal.
- Sending ETH to the wrong network may result in permanent loss.
Step 5: Verify the KRANG Contract Address
Before interacting with the token, verify the official contract address.
- Network: Base
- KRANG Contract Address:
0xf7951D9a5C558f8C37071da4CdCaf23b0bE1BFb3
Always verify the contract address using official Krang documentation or trusted block explorers.
Step 6: Swap ETH for KRANG on Uniswap
- Visit Uniswap at https://app.uniswap.org
- Click Connect Wallet and select your wallet provider.
- Ensure the network is set to Base.
- Select ETH as the input token.
- Paste the KRANG contract address to select the output token.
- Enter the desired amount and review the swap details.
- Confirm the transaction in your wallet and approve the gas fee.
After confirmation, the KRANG tokens will be transferred to your wallet.
Step 7: Display KRANG in Your Wallet (Optional)
If KRANG does not appear automatically:
- Open your wallet’s asset list.
- Choose Import Token or Add Custom Token.
- Paste the KRANG contract address.
- Confirm to display the token balance.
Security Notes
- Always double-check URLs and contract addresses
- Never share your private keys or recovery phrase
- Consider using a hardware wallet for enhanced security
- Be cautious of impersonation or fake tokens

KRANG can be acquired through decentralized exchanges on the Base network using standard Web3 wallets.
