Building on Base
summary
Live workshop shows how to move testnet ETH from Goerli into Base by calling the bridge contract ABI, using bridge Goerli → Base via Coinbase Wallet and verifying deposits on BaseScan. It walks through a Hardhat script that loads a mnemonic, uses Hardhat + ethers + Alchemy RPC to instantiate the proxy bridge contract, formats values in wei, submits a deposit transaction and watches it appear on Base. Notes: use Solidity 0.8.17, demos have transient hiccups, fees are about 10x cheaper now, 30–100x with EIP‑4844 and the bridge end-to-end works in the demo.
