A practical walkthrough — set up MetaMask, get USDC and gas ETH on Base, buy iBLOCK, explore optional bundles, and track your wallet-linked activity.
MetaMask is the most widely used self-custody wallet for Ethereum and EVM networks. You'll need it to hold your iBLOCK and interact with Uniswap.
Visit metamask.io and click Download. Choose your browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, or Edge) or install the mobile app from the App Store or Google Play.
Open MetaMask, click Create a new wallet, and set a strong password. This password unlocks the wallet on your device — it does not recover it.
MetaMask will show you a 12-word phrase. Write it down on paper and store it somewhere safe and offline. This phrase is the only way to recover your wallet if you lose access.
iBLOCK lives on Base (Ethereum L2). In MetaMask, click the network dropdown at the top, then Add a network, and select Base from the list of popular networks. Confirm to add it.
To buy iBLOCK, you need USDC on the Base network. You also need a small amount of ETH on Base to pay transaction gas fees.
Use a regulated exchange such as Coinbase to buy USDC. If available, choose USDC that can be withdrawn directly to the Base network.
When withdrawing, select Base as the network and paste your MetaMask wallet address. Double-check the address and network before confirming.
Base transactions require ETH for gas. Keep a small amount of ETH on Base so you can approve USDC, buy iBLOCK, sell iBLOCK, or move tokens later.
Your USDC and gas ETH must both be on the Base network. USDC on Ethereum mainnet, Polygon, Solana, or another network will not work unless you bridge or withdraw it to Base first.
Once your wallet has USDC on Base and a small amount of ETH for gas, you can buy iBLOCK through the official InverseBlock token page.
Open the iBLOCK Token page and connect your MetaMask wallet.
Your wallet must be connected to the Base network. If MetaMask is on another network, switch to Base before continuing.
Choose how much USDC you want to spend. The page will show an estimated amount of iBLOCK before you confirm the swap.
The first time you use USDC, MetaMask may ask you to approve spending. This is normal for token swaps. Review the request carefully before approving.
After approval, confirm the swap in MetaMask. Keep a small amount of ETH in your wallet for gas so the transaction can complete.
Bundles are special offers that may include extra iBLOCK bonuses. They are separate from the normal token-buying flow.
Go to the Bundles page and connect the wallet you want to use.
Select the bundle that fits your budget. Bundle pricing and token amounts may update based on the current iBLOCK reference price.
Review the payment details in MetaMask before approving. Only confirm if the amount, network, and connected wallet are correct.
The purchased base token amount is delivered first. If the bundle includes bonus tokens, those bonus tokens are distributed separately over 30 days.
Your account page helps you view wallet-linked iBLOCK activity, bundle purchases, token deliveries, and other on-chain activity connected to your verified wallet.
Connect the wallet you used to buy iBLOCK. Your account page only displays activity for wallets connected and verified through the site.
Track buys, sells, transfers, bundle base deliveries, and bonus deliveries as they are indexed from the Base network.
If your bundle includes bonus tokens, those tokens are delivered over time rather than all at once. Check your account page for delivery history.
Crypto assets are volatile. Only buy what you understand, keep ETH for gas, protect your recovery phrase, and never approve transactions you do not recognize.
