This guide covers the specific flow for moving THEO tokens from Autheo Mainnet to Base network. This is the step you need before selling or trading THEO earned from validator rewards, staking, or the Node Sale on Hydrex — Hydrex runs on Base, not Autheo Mainnet, so tokens have to arrive on Base first.
If you already hold THEO on Base (for example, tokens you bought directly on Hydrex), you can skip this guide and go straight to Buying and trading THEO on Hydrex.

Requirements

1. Add THEO as a custom token on Base

The first time you interact with THEO on Base network, your wallet won’t recognize it automatically — you need to add it as a custom token. The steps below use MetaMask; the process is similar for other EVM wallets.

Always verify this contract address against this page or docs.autheo.com directly before adding it. Never trust a contract address sent to you in a message or DM.
