Shareland runs on the Base network. To trade, you need:
  • USDC — the currency used to buy and sell SQFT tokens
  • A small amount of ETH — to cover gas fees (typically less than $0.01 per transaction)
Both USDC and ETH must be on the Base network specifically. Funds on Ethereum mainnet, Arbitrum, Polygon, or other networks will not appear in Shareland.

Step 1: Buy USDC and ETH

Purchase USDC and ETH from a crypto exchange. Popular options include:
If your exchange supports Base network withdrawals directly, you can skip the bridging step entirely. Coinbase supports this natively.

Step 2: Send to your wallet on Base

Withdraw USDC and ETH from the exchange to your wallet address. When withdrawing:
  1. Copy your wallet’s public address (the same address you use to log into Shareland)
  2. In the exchange withdrawal screen, paste your wallet address
  3. Select “Base” as the network — this is the critical step
Double-check that you’ve selected Base as the withdrawal network. If you send on the wrong network (e.g., Ethereum mainnet or Arbitrum), your funds will not appear in Shareland. See Common Mistakes below.

Step 3: Verify on Shareland

Once the transfer completes (usually within a few minutes):
  1. Go to share.land and connect your wallet
  2. Your USDC and ETH balances should appear automatically
  3. You’re ready to trade
If your USDC and ETH balances appear on share.land, you’re all set to start trading.

Common Mistakes

Sent funds on the wrong network

If you accidentally sent USDC or ETH on Ethereum mainnet, Arbitrum, or another network instead of Base:
  1. Don’t panic — your funds are not lost, they’re just on a different network
  2. Send them back to your exchange account (on the network you used)
  3. Re-send from the exchange, this time selecting Base as the network

Sent the wrong token

Shareland uses USDC (USD Coin), not USDT, DAI, or other stablecoins. Make sure you’re sending USDC specifically.

Balance not showing up

If your transfer completed but your balance isn’t showing in Shareland:
  • Confirm the transaction on BaseScan by searching your wallet address
  • Make sure you’re connected with the same wallet you sent funds to
  • Try refreshing the page

FAQ

Very little. Base gas fees are typically under 0.01pertransaction.Having0.01 per transaction. Having 1–2 worth of ETH is more than enough for hundreds of trades.
There is no minimum trade size on Shareland. A minimum fee of $0.10 applies per transaction, so very small trades may not be cost-efficient.
Any Web3 wallet that supports the Base network: MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow, or any WalletConnect-compatible wallet.
You need a self-custody wallet (like Coinbase Wallet, not your Coinbase exchange account). Withdraw from Coinbase to your Coinbase Wallet on the Base network, then connect that wallet to Shareland.
