A lot of mechanisms of Botto are built on the Ethereum blockchain. Some of them are also available on Base (buying, bridging and staking the token, and claiming rewards). This means you'll have to interact with the Ethereum or Base blockchains to participate in Botto.
Continuing with the Ethereum example: To interact with the Ethereum blockchain, you will need an Ethereum wallet. Here's how to get your very own Ethereum Wallet:
We recommend using MetaMask
Install MetaMask
Setup Wallet
Backup Wallet
Use your Address to receive funds
Download & Install the browser extension: https://metamask.io/
A new browser tab opens

This is the most important step! Without any proper backup, you may not be able to restore your wallet and lose all funds!
