In order to create and run Base Bidding task each User will need the Butler Basic Access (Subscription or Lifetime NFT) as well as the PRO Access on top.
Further you're wallet needs to hold WETH on Base L2 chain.
Bidding on Base Collections via OpenSea is pretty much the same as Bidding on Ethereum Collection. However there are still a few points to note which will also very likely change soon:
Wallets will not show Base ETH / WETH balances since Infura (our RPC Provider) is not yet offering Base RPC servers to check onchain data such as Wallet balances.
While bidding the tasks cannot check how much funds are available in your bidding wallet. Therefore it will always try to bid what is configured and bids will fail if not enough funds are available.
All other Features are supported same as on Ethereum Collections:
Adding collections to Search engine
Instant Counter Bidding
Collection Trait Offer Tasks
Token bidding Tasks / Manual bidding tasks
Wallet Overview / Flips / Notifications and Iventory
In order to be able to bid with WETH on Base you'll have to birdge some of your WETH to the Layer 2 Base Blockchain.
Metamask is offering a direct Briding Service between different L2 Chains and Base is one of the supported Chains here. Simply use it with the following link: https://portfolio.metamask.io/bridge
After briding your ETH / WETH from Ethereum mainnet to Base L2 you'll also have to perform a manual bid on OpenSea. Otherwise tasks with Butler will fail due to missing WETH approvals.
Infura does currently not support Base L2 Chain via their free RPC servers. This is why Butler will not show your Base ETH / WETH Balance on the Dashboard or Wallets Overview.
Also Tasks will not be able to check in advance how much WETH is available in your Wallet. Butler will simply fire your bids and if your balance is not high enough the Bid will be rejected.
If you don't find your favorite Base collection on the Butler search engine, feel free to add it with the Button on top of the search engine.
With the Blockchain Filtering option you can filter the collections based on Blockchain as shown below.
The above screenshot shows available Base collections filtered by Blockchain on the left. The highlighted buttons will provide the following features:
1st Button "Show all Traits": Drilldown into the Traits view of the collection to create trait based bidding tasks
2nd Button "Check Collection Stats": Will provide a collection floor price graph for OpenSea and Blur (up to 2 months) as well as top Collection Bids and the last Sales events.
3rd Button "Create Collection CTO": With this button you can create a Collection Bidding Task
4th Button "Create Token Task": Here you can create a Token Bidding Task
Base bidding tasks need to be created as Manual Task for now. Head to the Token Task page and hit the "Create Manual Task" Button:
With the required PRO Access you can choose the target Blockchain to "Base" with OpenSea as the Marketplace:
Now to create your first Base Bidding Task you'll basically have to copy & past the Link to the Base Collection in Butler and fill the "Token IDs range" field with a list of Token IDs you'd like to bid on
To support finding all Token IDs of a specific Trait we have two very usefull Community Bot features availbe for Members in our Discord: /traits /tokenscan
Make sure to "Fetch Data" once you've copied the Link to the collection. It will fetch Collection Stats and Last Sales information on the left side.
For all the Manual token task configuration options please refer to Manual Token Bidding Page
Base Bidding Tasks will be part of the Live Bidding Activity Feed on the Dashboard Overview
Target link will link to OpenSea as usual
However the wallet percentage for the WETH limits are not taking Base bids into account (as they are not processed on Ethereum L1)
Wallet Details will show active bids on Base very similar though...
Infura does currently not support Base L2 Chain via their free RPC servers. This is why Butler will not show your Base ETH / WETH Balance on the Dashboard or Wallet Details here.
Also Tasks will not be able to check in advance how much WETH is available in your Wallet. Butler will simply fire your bids and if your balance is not high enough the bids will be rejected.
