Base Chain Integration
Libera operates on Base, Coinbase's Layer 2 network:
Ethereum security guarantees
Transaction costs under $0.50
2-3 second confirmations
Seamless Coinbase integration
Required Deposits
USDC for Trading: All positions denominated in USDC (stablecoin pegged 1:1 to USD). Eliminates crypto price volatility from your trading balance.
Recommended amounts:
Casual trading (few positions): $100-$300 USDC
Active trading (multiple positions): $500-$1,000 USDC
Professional trading (many timeframes): $1,000+ USDC
ETH for Gas Fees: Small amount of ETH required for transaction gas on Base network.
Required amounts:
Minimum recommended: $1-$2 worth of ETH
Covers approximately 10-20 transactions
Active traders: $5-$10 worth of ETH
Refill when balance drops below $1
Why ETH is needed:
Every blockchain transaction requires gas payment
Position entries, exits, claims all need gas
Base network requires ETH (not USDC) for gas
Very low cost but essential for any transaction

Step 4: Deposit to Trading Balance
