CRYPTO GUIDE

Participating in the Starbase points program involves some preparation and strategic engagement. Here’s a comprehensive guide to maximizing your points-earning potential:

1. Set Up Your Wallet and Fund It
   • Create a self-custodial wallet like Rabby if you don’t already have one.
   • Ensure you have some ETH on the Base network to cover transaction fees and trades.
   • If you don’t have ETH, you can purchase some from exchanges like Binance and withdraw it to your wallet on the Base network.
2. Connect to Starbase and Start Trading
   • Visit the Starbase platform.
   • Click the “Connect Wallet” button to connect your wallet.
   • Familiarize yourself with the platform’s features by navigating the interface.
3. Earn Champion League Points Through Limit Orders
   • Select the “Limit Orders” option in the Starbase interface.
   • Choose the asset you want to sell and the asset you want to buy.
   • Enter amounts for each (minimum transaction value must be $10 or more).
   • Set your desired price and expiry date for the limit order.
   • Click “Approve” and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
   • Click “Place limit order” and confirm the transaction.
   • You will earn 1 point for every $1 of trade submitted via Limit Order.
4. Earn Champion League Points Through Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA)
   • Navigate to the “DCA” section on the platform.
   • Select the asset you want to sell and the asset you want to buy.
   • Enter the amount you wish to trade regularly.
   • Choose the frequency of your DCA orders.
   • Specify the total number of orders you want to initiate.
   • Click “Start DCA” and confirm the transaction.
   • You will earn 1 point for every $1 of trade submitted through the DCA feature.
5. Complete Explorer League Tasks for Additional Points
   • Connect your X (formerly Twitter) account to Starbase.
   • Follow Starbase’s official X account.
   • Join the Starbase Discord community.
   • Engage with Starbase content on X through likes, retweets, quote tweets, and replies (1 point for each engagement).
   • Play the Flappy Moon game in Telegram to earn additional points.
6. Utilize the Referral Program
   • Go to the “Rewards” page on Starbase.
   • Copy your unique referral link and share it with friends and the crypto community.
   • Earn 1 point for each person who signs up using your link, with a cap of 10 points per day.
   • After referring more than 10 friends, you’ll receive a referral multiplier that enhances your point-earning potential.

Maximizing Your Starbase Points
To increase your chances of obtaining a significant allocation in any potential future airdrop, consider these strategies:

• Balanced Participation Strategy: Engage in both leagues of the points program, as Explorer League points are easier to earn, but Champion League points reflect actual platform usage and may carry more weight in token distribution.
• Optimal Trading Approach: For Limit Orders, consider placing multiple smaller limit orders instead of one large order to capture price movements while accumulating points. For DCA, set up regular, smaller DCA orders to earn points and implement a sound investment strategy.
• Social Engagement Efficiency: Schedule regular engagement with Starbase content on X for consistent points accumulation. Focus on meaningful interactions to avoid being filtered out by quality checks.
• Referral Strategy: Share your referral link in communities interested in DEX trading. Create informative content about Starbase to attract genuine users via your referral link. Once you reach 10 referrals, actively maintain those referrals to benefit from the multiplier effect.

Understanding Starbase’s Points System
The dual-league points system rewards both platform usage and community engagement:

• Champion League: Points correlate directly with platform use, awarding 1 point for every $1 of trading volume through limit orders or DCA, without a cap on points.
• Explorer League: Points reward community building and social engagement, with specific point values for different tasks. Referral points are capped at 10 per day but include a multiplier system to enhance earnings.

Potential Risks and Considerations
Be aware of the following considerations when participating in the Starbase points program:

• Gas Fees: While the Base network has relatively low transaction fees, they can accumulate with frequent trading.
• Trading Risks: Limit orders and DCA strategies carry inherent market risks.
• No Guaranteed Airdrop: While the points program indicates potential future tokens, this remains unconfirmed.
• Time Investment: Engaging in social tasks and maintaining trading activities requires a continued time commitment.
• Minimum Transaction Values: Ensure trades meet the minimum $10 value requirement to qualify for points.
