Adding the Base token to MetaMask 🪙
As of today, the Base network has no official token. There are currently no signs of Coinbase planning to conduct an airdrop.
Where can I buy the Base token? 🛒
The Base token doesn’t exist yet, but it’s a safe assumption that if a Base token was to be released, it would be available on most exchanges like Coinbase and Binance.

Most guides will tell their readers to go through the manual RPC copy-pasting method which can be quite tedious (though it also works!). This method that uses Chainlist is by far the quickest and easiest method.
