# MASQ Tokens

{% hint style="success" %}
**MASQ Browser is running on Base mainnet as the primary network. Setting up your new account is easy after installing MASQ Browser or dVPN Extension. You need Base network enabled in your web3 wallet if you want to manually manage your MASQ Network usage directly utilizing $MASQ tokens on Base for web3-native users.**
{% endhint %}

To access MASQ Network on Base, ensure you have access to the Base network and MASQ tokens in your wallet.

If you don't have MASQ tokens in your wallet, follow the steps below:

* [ ] Add Base by enabling the chain network in your wallet extension (Phantom, Rabby or Metamask etc). (If this doesn't show by default, you can add it by visiting [chainlist.org](https://chainlist.org) )
* [ ] Once the network is added, go into your wallet and switch to Base network

To add a custom token, please refer to the Metamask guide here:

* [ ] Add the custom token for MASQ:
