## Using æpps on æternity
Decentralized applications (æpps) on æternity provide secure, user-focused solutions with minimal fees thanks to state channel technology. Getting started is simple:
### Base æpp - Your Gateway to æternity
Base æpp is your starting point for exploring æternity's ecosystem. This mobile-only application serves as both a wallet and a hub for accessing other æpps. Through Base, you can:
* Send and receive AE tokens
* Create and manage accounts
* Access the wider æpp ecosystem
### Popular æpps
* [**Superhero**](https://superhero.com/): A decentralized tipping platform that leverages state channels for near-zero fee transactions, empowering content creators and their supporters
* [**Governance**](https://governance.aeternity.com/): Platform for participating in blockchain governance through weighted delegated coin-voting
* [**Graffiti**](https://graffiti.aeternity.com/#/landingpage): Creative platform for images to be transformed to a unique artistic style on the æternity blockchain, with the artist bidding AE Coin to include their artwork in the communal wall.

### Getting Started
1. Download [Base æpp](https://base.aepps.com/) on your computer or mobile device
2. Create or import your wallet

Remember that transactions on æternity are fast and cost-effective thanks to state channel technology, making the platform ideal for frequent interactions and microtransactions.
For secure key management, consider exploring options like AirGap Vault or other supported wallets in the ecosystem.
