## How Base.dev Powers Your Growth
7+
8+
Base.dev is the builder tool platform that helps developers build, grow, and earn through miniapps on Base. It provides real-time analytics and user behavior insights to optimize your app's performance and engagement, helping builders understand exactly how users interact with their miniapps and identify the features that drive retention and growth.
9+
10+
**Build** with tools like [Minikit](/mini-apps/technical-reference/minikit/overview) and [OnchainKit](/onchainkit/getting-started), plus educational resources like workshops, and livestreams.
11+
12+
**Grow** through real-time analytics that show how users interact with your app, along with ad credits, gas credits, and distribution in the Base App where users can discover your miniapp.
13+
14+
**Earn** with analytics that help you identify which features users value most, so you can focus development on what drives engagement and revenue. Additional monetization tools are coming soon.
15+
16+
### Importing your Mini App
17+
18+
#### Step 1: Sign in to Base.dev
19+
20+
Sign up or sign in with an existing Base account.
21+
22+
#### Step 2: Add Base Builder Object
23+
24+
Import a mini app by adding the Base builder object into your manifest. This must be at the top level of your manifest file.
25+
26+
<Callout type="info">
27+
For a complete example, see the [manifest documentation](/mini-apps/features/manifest).
28+
</Callout>
29+
30+
```json
31+
{
32+
"accountAssociation": { ... },
33+
"frame": { ... },
34+
"baseBuilder": {
35+
"allowedAddresses": ["0x..."]
36+
}
37+
}
38+
```
39+
40+
<Note>
41+
The address you are allowing is the address you are signed up with on base.dev.
42+
</Note>
43+
44+
#### Step 3: Deploy and Verify
45+
46+
Deploy the manifest again and check that your manifest now includes the Base builder object. Once confirmed, you can take the mini app URL and click import.
47+
48+
#### Next Steps
49+
50+
After importing, your mini app will be available in the Base.dev dashboard where you can access analytics and manage your app's growth.
51+
52+
## Available Analytics Data
53+
54+
Base.dev provides the following analytics data for your miniapp:
55+
56+
### User Engagement Metrics
57+
58+
#### Active & New Users
59+
60+
Number of Base App users who have opened your mini app all-time. New Users are those who opened it for the first time, while Active Users are those who have returned and opened it again. Track this to measure user retention and identify if your app encourages repeat usage.
61+
62+
#### Number of Opens
63+
64+
The total number of times users opened your application. Use this metric to understand overall app popularity and correlate with feature releases or marketing efforts.
65+
66+
#### Median Session Time
67+
68+
The average of all user session durations. Longer sessions typically indicate higher engagement with your content. Compare session times across different features to identify what keeps users engaged.
69+
70+
### Traffic Analysis
71+
72+
#### Entry Points
73+
74+
How users are entering your application. Shows traffic sources such as Base App Home. Optimize your presence on high-traffic entry points and investigate low-performing sources to improve discoverability.
75+
76+
### Data Access
77+
78+
All analytics data is available through the Base.dev dashboard in real-time. Metrics update as users interact with your miniapp within the Base App ecosystem.
