Platform Questions
Do I need to be staking to use the platform?
As Creator: No, but you'll pay standard fees (not zero)
As Fan: No, platform accessible to all
Staking unlocks benefits, doesn't gate basic access.
What blockchains does Fanbase support?
Currently: Ethereum (mainnet) and Base (Layer 2)
Future: Community can vote to add more chains via governance.
How do I withdraw my earnings as a creator?
Your earnings go directly to your wallet (instant). Crypto is already yours.
To cash out:
Keep as crypto (hold)
Convert to stablecoin (USDC for price stability)
Sell on exchange for fiat (if needed)
No withdrawal process—funds already in your control.
Is Fanbase safe from rug pulls?
Yes. LP tokens are burned, making liquidity removal mathematically impossible. This is verifiable on-chain.
Team vesting (5 years) also prevents founder dumps.
Governance Questions
Who can vote in governance?
Anyone holding $FAN tokens. Voting power = tokens held.
Do I need to stake to vote?
No, but staking recommended (shows commitment). Voting based on token holdings at snapshot, staked or not.
What if I disagree with team decisions?
Vote no. If community majority agrees with you, proposal fails. Team can't override community votes.
This is real governance, not theater.
How is treasury spending controlled?
Small spends (<$100K): Team executes, community monitors Large spends (>$100K): Require governance vote approval
All treasury movements public on-chain. Monthly reports published.
Technical Questions
Which wallets are supported?
MetaMask (most popular)
WalletConnect (mobile)
Coinbase Wallet (beginner-friendly)
Any EVM-compatible wallet
What are gas fees?
Small fees paid to blockchain validators for processing transactions.
Typical costs:
Ethereum: $1-50 (varies by network congestion)
Base: $0.01-0.10 (much cheaper)
Recommendation: Use Base for daily transactions (10-100× cheaper).
Is my personal information collected?
No. Wallet-based identity means no name, address, or bank account required.
Platform only sees your wallet address (pseudonymous).
Can I use Fanbase anonymously?
Yes. Wallet addresses are pseudonymous. You don't need to link real identity unless you choose to.
For maximum privacy: Use separate wallet for Fanbase, don't link to social media.
