Behind the Beanie

In November 2023, Coinbase founder Brian Armstrong shared a post about his intention to make crypto the best way to pay online with Base, accompanied by a video of him checking out for a product on a test website labelled 'Brian's Beanie'. The product features an image of a black beanie and a description that reads: 'Brian's Beanie revolutionizes personal fashion with a cutting-edge blockchain technology. This isn't just a beanie; it's a statement. Embedded within its fabric is a secure, blockchain-enabled chip that allows you to carry your digital assets wherever you go."

$BEANIE stands as a statement of intent for the Base ecosystem, it's vast potential, and potentially ground-breaking future. We wear our $BEANIE as a symbol of commitment to the chain, innovation, and blockchain technology as a whole.

How to Buy

Bridge ETH to Base: Start by bridging your Ethereum (ETH) tokens to the Base blockchain. It's a straightforward process; follow the steps, and you'll be on your way.

Prepare Your Metamask Wallet: Ensure your Metamask wallet is set up and ready to use. Be sure to make a note of your seed phrase and keep it somewhere safe.

Head to Uniswap: Connect your Metamask wallet to the Base blockchain and select $BEANIE Coin as the token you want to purchase by inputting the contract address.

Finalise the Transaction: Enter the amount of ETH you want to swap, and confirm the transaction. If you are having issues, try adjusting slippage and increasing your gas settings slightly.

The Beanie belongs to all of us...
