Research direction

Open docs/base-chain/quickstart/connecting-to-base.mdx and compare the Base Sepolia manual setup table with the Base Mainnet table. Update the Sepolia header and add the Description row, then verify the rendered page shows the corrected table.

Description

The MetaMask manual setup table for Base Sepolia has an incorrect and inconsistent first row.

Current (Base Sepolia table):
| Name | Sepolia |
| Network Name | Base Sepolia |
| ... |

The header row says Name | Sepolia which is neither a proper column header nor a data row. The equivalent Base Mainnet table uses Name | Value as the header and includes a Description row with value The public mainnet for Base.

Base Mainnet table for comparison:
| Name | Value |
| Network Name | Base Mainnet |
| Description | The public mainnet for Base. |
| ... |

Suggested fix

Fix the Base Sepolia table header to Name | Value and add a missing Description row:

| Name | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Network Name | Base Sepolia |
| Description | A public testnet for Base. |
| RPC Endpoint | https://sepolia.base.org |
