# Bridging to Base

## Bridging to Base Overview

### Base (blockchain L2)

Base is an L2 chain built on EVM (Ethereum Virtual Machine) that offers ultra-low fees and high scalability, coupled with fast deployment. Nuon has been launched on Base to position itself for wide and inexpensive adoption.&#x20;

### Bridging USDC and ETH to Base

Nuon is currently live on the Base. To interact with Nuon, users must bridge USDC and ETH to Base.&#x20;

#### Requirements

* ERC-20 compatible wallet (e.g., MetaMask)
* USDC for minting Nuon
* ETH for gas fees

#### Bridging Tools

* [Superbridge](https://superbridge.app/base)
* [XSwap](https://xswap.exchange)

Ensure both assets are visible in your wallet and the network is set to Base. To see Nuon in your wallet, you need to add the custom token using the [token contract](https://docs.nuon.fi/resources/token-contracts).&#x20;
