Dear Talentir Community,

We've always been committed to providing you with the most efficient, secure, and user-friendly experience possible. That's why we've made the decision to migrate to Base, an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) scaling solution developed by Coinbase.

This transition isn't just a technical move. It's a significant milestone in our journey to give you the best possible experience.

Johannes Kares, CTO Talentir

Why the Switch to Base?

We believe that if you are building a sustainable and long-lasting business, choosing the right chain should not be a matter of who offers the biggest grant. Base provided us with a secure, low-cost, developer-friendly Ethereum L2 and onchain transactions more accessible and efficient for everyone.

Working closely with the Base team has been a pleasure. Their commitment to increasing onchain volume through innovative use cases aligns perfectly with everything we do at Talentir. The more you dive deep into the builder ecosystem, the more you get hooked by this community, which is really working hard to make this tech adoptable by everyone.

  • Vibrant Builder Ecosystem: Base boasts a thriving builder ecosystem that resonates with our innovative spirit. The collaborative environment and support within the Base community empower us to develop better features and services more rapidly.
  • Availability of EURC: We understand that many of our creators and agencies prefer dealing in Euros. The inclusion of EURC on Base allows for seamless transactions in EUR, providing more flexibility and convenience for our international users.
  • Leading Layer 2 Solution: Base has emerged as the largest Layer 2 (L2) network, offering unparalleled scalability and performance. This ensures that our platform remains fast, reliable, and capable of supporting our growing user base. Currently, transactions are cheaper than $0.01 and are confirmed in less than 2 seconds.
  • Alignment with Ethereum: Base's strong alignment with Ethereum's principles and technology stack means we can leverage the security and robustness of the Ethereum network while enjoying the benefits of Layer 2 solutions.

What This Means for You

We are committed to making this transition as smooth as possible. Here's what you need to know:

  • Seamless Content Migration: All your YouTube videos and channels have been successfully migrated to Base. There's nothing you need to do — simply log in with your existing account, and you'll find all your content just as you left it.
  • Accessing Your Funds on Arbitrum: If you still have funds (ETH or USDC) on Arbitrum, you can easily access them:
    1. Log into Talentir: Use your usual credentials.
    2. Navigate to the Wallet Section: Once logged in, go to your wallet.
    3. Select Arbitrum as Your Chain: In the wallet section, choose Arbitrum from the chain options (see the screenshot below).
    4. Transfer Your Funds: Transfer your funds to a new wallet. We recommend transitioning to our new default Smart Wallet and send the Arbitrum funds there. You can then move them to Base or any other chain as needed on Jumper Exchange.

Looking Ahead

We can’t wait to explore new horizons with Base and release all the ideas and features with the Base team to increase adoption and volume. There is only one more thing to say in the end:

It just feels right!
