How Base.dev Powers Your Growth

Base.dev is the builder tool platform that helps developers build, grow, and earn through miniapps on Base. It provides real-time analytics and user behavior insights to optimize your app’s performance and engagement, helping builders understand exactly how users interact with their miniapps and identify the features that drive retention and growth. Build with tools like Minikit and OnchainKit, plus educational resources like workshops, and livestreams. Grow through real-time analytics that show how users interact with your app, along with ad credits, gas credits, and distribution in the Base App where users can discover your miniapp. Earn with analytics that help you identify which features users value most, so you can focus development on what drives engagement and revenue. Additional monetization tools are coming soon.

Importing your Mini App

​
Step 1: Sign in to Base.dev

Sign up or sign in with an existing Base account.

​
Step 2: Add Base Builder Object
