Using Base Account Wallet with Wakweli

Wakweli now integrates with the Base Account wallet, a smart wallet powered by passkeys. This new login method simplifies onboarding and removes two common barriers for blockchain users:

  • No seed phrase required: your wallet is secured with a passkey on your device, not a 12-word backup.
  • No gas fees needed: the Wakweli Foundation and Base sponsor your transactions, so you can certify, review, and challenge without holding ETH.

This makes Wakweli accessible to everyone, including first-time users who don’t yet own crypto:

  • Easiest wallet to use: Secure your wallet with a device passkey (biometric, Face ID, Touch ID, or OS-level credential).
  • Smart wallet protection: Funds and actions are handled by a smart contract wallet on Base.
  • Sponsored gas fees: A Sponsored Paymaster covers up to $0.50 in daily gas fees per user, enough for dozens of transactions at Base’s low fees.
  • Free tokens to start: New Base Account users qualify receive 60 $KIW from the Wakweli Foundation to explore the Canary Mainnet.
  • Instant onboarding: No exchange funding, no manual ETH bridging, no wallet setup complexity.

When to Use Base Account

  • New users exploring Wakweli without existing crypto.
  • Community members who want a gasless experience.
  • Anyone preferring passkey security over seed phrases.

If you already hold $KIW on Ethereum or Base in a traditional wallet (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet), you can keep using those: Base Account is an alternative login option.

Step 1: Create your Base Account

Base Account Creation

  • Go to the Canary interface at https://canary.wakweli.com/
  • Click on the "Connect Wallet" button on the top right
  • Select "Base Account"
  • Click on "Create account" and type a name for your passkey (can be anything, this is for your personal use)
  • Approve the passkey login prompt from your device:
    • On desktop: this uses your OS passkey manager (can be fingerprint, face recognition, password manager...)
    • On mobile: Face ID, Touch ID, or Android device credential.

Your Base Smart Wallet is now created.

Step 2: Claim your free $KIW

New Base Account users qualify receive 60 $KIW from the Wakweli Foundation to explore the Canary Mainnet.

These tokens let you certify, review, and challenge directly on the Canary Mainnet.

Step 3: Enjoy gasless transactions

Every transaction (certification, review, challenge) normally requires gas.

With the Sponsored Paymaster feature, the Wakweli Foundation and Base now cover your fees.

At Base’s ~$0.01 fee per transaction, the $0.50/day cap covers dozens of daily actions.
