Security

Never use public RPC endpoints in production — they are rate-limited and offer no privacy guarantees; use a dedicated node provider or self-hosted node
Never embed RPC API keys in client-side code — proxy requests through a backend to protect provider credentials
Validate chain IDs before signing transactions to prevent cross-chain replay attacks
Use HTTPS RPC endpoints only — reject any http:// endpoints to prevent credential interception

Critical Notes

Public RPC endpoints are rate-limited - not for production
For production: use node providers or run your own node
Testnet ETH available from faucets in Base documentation

Wallet Setup

Add network with chain ID and RPC from tables above
For testnet, use Sepolia configuration
Bridge ETH from Ethereum or use faucets
