Dust off your MetaMask Wallet it's time to trade Surge, TTLSA and TLGD on Base!
The wait is over. The markets are open. Surge, TTLSA, and TLGD are now trading on the Base blockchain. The landscape has shifted, and Base is the new arena for low fees and high-speed execution.
If you are looking to acquire or trade these tokens, you need to be ready to move immediately. Whether you are a seasoned veteran or a curious newcomer, here is your active battle plan to buy, sell, and trade right now.

Step 1: The Gateway – Use Your Compatible Wallet
To step into the arena, you need your key: a self-custody wallet. Since Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 network, if your wallet handles Ethereum, it handles Base.
- The Heavy Hitters:
- MetaMask: The industry standard.
- Coinbase Wallet: The native choice for the Base ecosystem.
- Action to Take:
- Log In: Open your browser extension or mobile app.
- Security Check: Ensure your seed phrase is secure. You are now your own bank.
Step 2: Connection – Ensure Base Network is Active
You can't trade on Base if your wallet is still tuned to Ethereum Mainnet. You need to be on the right frequency.
For MetaMask Users (Manual Configuration):
- Open your wallet and click the network dropdown.
- If you haven't added it yet, select "Add network" -> "Add a network manually."
- Input these coordinates:
- Network Name: Base Mainnet
- RPC URL:
https://mainnet.base.org - Chain ID: 8453
- Currency Symbol: ETH
- Block Explorer URL:
https://basescan.org
- Save and Switch. You are now connected.
For Coinbase Wallet Users:
You likely don't need to do anything. Just switch the network selector to Base.
Step 3: Fuel – You Need ETH for Gas
You cannot drive without fuel. To trade Surge, TTLSA, or TLGD, you need Ether (ETH) on the Base network to pay for transaction fees.
- How to fill up immediately:
- Direct: Send ETH from your Coinbase exchange account directly to your wallet using the Base network option.
- Bridge: If your funds are on Ethereum Mainnet or Arbitrum, use the official Base Bridge or a fast aggregator like Synapse to move funds over instantly.
Step 4: Execution – Where to Trade Now
Surge, TTLSA, and TLGD are live on Decentralized Exchanges (DEXes). You need to go where the liquidity is.
The Venues:
- Uniswap
- Aerodrome Finance
- SushiSwap
How to Trade Safely:
- Select the Pair: Go to the DEX and select the trading pair (e.g., ETH/SURGE or USDC/TTLSA).
- Verify the Contract: This is critical. Only use the official Token Contract Addresses found in the project's official Discord or Whitepaper. Do not search by name alone, as scammers create copycat tokens.
- Swap: Enter the amount, approve the token access (if selling), and confirm the swap.
Step 5: Bridging from Hive (The Migration)
If you are holding legacy assets on Hive Engine, you need to move them to Base to participate in the active trading.
The Process:
- Navigate to the project's official bridge portal.
- Connect your Hive Keychain to authorize the outgoing transfer.
- Input your Base-compatible MetaMask address as the destination.
- Execute the wrap/bridge function. Your tokens will be minted on Base and sent to your wallet, ready for trading.
Bottom Line: The tokens are live. The network is active. By ensuring your RPCs are set and your gas tank is full, you can trade Surge, TTLSA, and TLGD with the speed and efficiency of Layer 2. Good luck out there!

Starting trading on Base will really make things easier, especially with low fees and fast transactions. The guide is also very clear easy to follow.
Thank you
You forgot to mention LSTR. That's tradable on Base too!
Thanks
@askrafiki What is the address / URL of LeoStrategy's official bridge portal between Hive and Base?
How do I "Navigate to the project's official bridge portal". Do you have a link?
We should definitely try all the new things in the modern era. We will learn something from it and benefit a lot,
Trading can really be difficult if you did not really understand the dynamics behind it actually as based on my own personal experience
