Updated

Base settings

Production FRENT POS uses Base mainnet, chain ID 8453. The supported native USDC contract is 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913. ETH pays network gas.

Merchant setup

Connect the receiving wallet, open the Base setup screen and create the terminal record. Review the factory address, USDC address, fee wallet and fixed fee before approving deployment. FRENT activates the terminal only after verifying the deployment transaction and immutable settings.

Customer payment

The customer needs supported USDC on Base and enough ETH for approval and payment gas. FRENT does not bridge USDC from another network.

After confirmation, the payment record links to the configured Base explorer. See Blockchain confirmations for the difference between wallet submission and confirmed settlement.
