WHY THIS ROUTE
Owning First Draft Seal means a contract deployed from your own wallet on Base, real users calling it, and a public repo. That is the onchain footprint that builder programs look for. Airdrops are never guaranteed.
ARRIVED LOOKS LIKE
Verified contract on Base from your wallet, a public builder profile linking it, and at least 25 real outside wallets interacting with it in 60 days.

2. Verify the contract source
30 minFollow the guide's verification step so anyone can read the code on the explorer. A verified contract is the difference between a builder and a mystery address.
3. Create or update your builder profile
30 minAdd First Draft Seal, the contract link and the repo to your builder profile on the Base ecosystem's builder directory (or base.dev style profile on Base), plus your GitHub and X.
4. Get 25 real outside wallets to use it
120 minUse the revenue path's outreach. Every real user call to your contract on Base adds to your public record. Do not fake activity; programs look for it and it ruins your name.
FIRST MESSAGE · GROUP CHAT · TO THE CREATOR AND AI ART COMMUNITIES YOU ARE IN
I shipped First Draft Seal on Base from my own wallet. It timestamps your original prompts and drafts onchain so you can prove the idea was yours first. I'm looking for 25 people to try it this week and break it. Link: [link]. I'll fix whatever you find within 48 hours.
5. Post a monthly ship log
30 minEach month post what you changed, contract interactions and what is next. Link the commits. A visible, steady record matters more than one big launch.
