🎉 Congratulations—Your Defx Bot is Live on Base!

​

Key Reminders:

• ✅ Keep ETH on Base for gas fees (transactions are cheap, ~$0.01-0.10)
• ✅ Cross margin mode is recommended for safer position management
• ✅ Start small and increase exposure gradually
• ✅ Monitor logs regularly for any errors or warnings
• ✅ Join Telegram for community support and updates

​

Troubleshooting

​

Bot won’t connect:

• Verify your Base wallet has ETH for gas fees
• Check that you’ve deposited USDC into Defx contract
• Ensure private key is correct (no extra spaces)

​

Transactions failing:

• Confirm you have enough ETH on Base for gas
• Check Defx contract has sufficient USDC deposited
• Verify you haven’t hit position limits on Defx

​

High gas fees:

• Base is an L2 with very low fees (~$0.01-0.10 per transaction)
• If fees are high, check you’re on Base network (Chain ID 8453), not Ethereum mainnet

​

Deposits not showing:

• Wait 5-10 seconds for Base block confirmation
• Check transaction on BaseScan
• Verify you approved the USDC spending limit
