Everything you do with ETH, in one place

A self-custody wallet that behaves like a consumer app: no extension to install, no phrase to memorise, nothing in the middle holding your Base assets.

Send to a name, not an address

Send ETH to a Drop handle, an X handle, a phone number or an email address. Drop resolves it to the right Base address before anything is signed.

Keys on your device, not ours

Your Base keys are created on your own devices and never leave them. Drop cannot move your ETH, which also means no one can be talked into moving it for you.

No seed phrase to lose

Sign in with a passkey — Face ID, Touch ID or your device PIN. There is no twelve-word phrase to photograph, mistype or keep in a drawer.

Swap into and out of Base

Route ETH to any asset Drop supports, on Base or on another network, at rates aggregated across venues. One approval — no bridge interface to hunt down.

One portfolio, every chain

Base sits in the same portfolio as the other 11 networks Drop supports, priced in your own currency, with per-chain filters when you want to narrow the view.

Dollars in, dollars out

Top up with a card or a bank transfer and cash out the same way, without parking your funds in a separate exchange account first.

Installs like an app, runs in a browser

Add Drop to your home screen on iOS, Android, macOS or Windows. Same wallet, same keys, no app store in between.

About Base

Ether (ETH) is the native asset of the Base network. Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 chain built on OP Stack that offers a safe, low-cost, developer-friendly way to build on-chain.

Drop treats Base as a first-class network rather than a bridge destination: balances are read from the chain itself, transactions are signed by keys that only exist on your devices, and the assets you hold here sit in the same portfolio as everything else you own.

Base wallet questions

Is Drop a self-custody Base wallet?
Yes. Your keys are generated on your device, stored on your device and used on your device. Drop holds nothing, so Drop cannot freeze your ETH, lend it out or move it — and cannot recover it for you either.
Do I need a seed phrase to use Base in Drop?
No. Access runs through passkeys on the devices you already carry, secured by Face ID, Touch ID or your device PIN. There is no recovery phrase to write down.
Can I use the same wallet on my phone and my laptop?
Yes. Drop is a web app you can install to your home screen or dock on iOS, Android, macOS and Windows, and your account follows you across all of them.
Do I need to bridge to Base myself?
No. Drop routes between chains for you — pick what you hold and what you want, approve once, and the proceeds land on Base.

One account, every chain Drop supports

Base is one of 12 networks in the same wallet. Add the ones you use and hide the rest.
