Step 2

Make Sure Your Wallet Uses Base

Confirm your wallet is using the Base network.

Base is the blockchain network used by RICE Pay for USDC transfers.

Most widely used crypto wallets support Base, but the exact steps may vary by wallet, device, region, and app version.

Always follow the latest official instructions from your wallet provider.

Before using RICE Pay, check that

  • Your selected network is Base.
  • The token you want to send is USDC on Base.
  • You have a small amount of ETH on Base for blockchain network fees.
  • Your wallet can send and receive assets on Base.
  • The recipient can receive USDC on Base.

Do not assume that all USDC or ETH is the same across networks. USDC or ETH on Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Solana, or another network may not be usable in RICE Pay's Base transfer flow unless it is moved or bridged to Base through a supported method.
