Wallet Setup

Set up a USDC wallet to buy and sell apps on Panoply

To buy apps with USDC on Panoply, you need a wallet on the Base network. There are two ways to set one up.

Option 1: Create a Wallet (Easiest)

Go to your Dashboard and click Create Wallet in the Wallet card. This creates a Coinbase-managed wallet linked to your account. On testnet, you'll automatically receive a small amount of ETH for gas fees.

Option 2: Connect an Existing Wallet

If you already have a Base wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, or any EVM wallet), go to your Dashboard and click Connect Existing. Paste your wallet address to link it to your account.

Fund Your Wallet

Testnet (Base Sepolia)

The marketplace is currently on Base Sepolia testnet. Testnet tokens are free.

  1. ETH for gas fees: Visit faucet.quicknode.com/base/sepolia and paste your wallet address
  2. USDC for purchases: Visit faucet.circle.com, select Base Sepolia, and paste your address to receive 10 USDC

Buy an App

Once your wallet is funded:

  1. Browse the Marketplace
  2. Find an app you want
  3. Click Buy with USDC
  4. The transaction is sent on-chain automatically
  5. After confirmation, the app appears in your library

Your purchase is recorded both in the database and on-chain. You can verify the transaction on BaseScan.

Payouts for Creators

When someone buys your app, 80% of the sale is recorded as your pending payout. Payouts are batched and settled separately. If you have a wallet connected, future payouts will settle on-chain to your wallet address.
