Get USDC in 60 seconds
USDC is a digital dollar: 1 USDC = $1. Tips on TugLive are sent in USDC on the Base network, which costs about a cent per transaction and confirms in a couple of seconds.
1. Install the Coinbase app (or Coinbase Wallet) and buy $20 of USDC — pick "Base" as the network if it asks.
2. Back on TugLive, press Tip in any room and choose Coinbase Wallet. Approve the connection.
3. Pick an amount and confirm. 70% lands in the performer's wallet in the same transaction; you see "Paid ✓" with a receipt link.
Any other wallet that supports Base works the same way (MetaMask, Rainbow, Rabby…). Keep a little ETH on Base for fees, or use Coinbase Smart Wallet which handles it.
