Base Protocol BASE

What BASE actually is on-chain

Base Protocol is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0x07150e919b4de5fd6a63de1f9384828396f25fdc. That address, not the ticker BASE, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself BASE, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, BASE is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in BASE itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Uniswap-style AMM pools. Two consequences follow for anyone setting alerts: you need ETH in the same wallet to move the token at all, and a quoted price taken from a pool is a pool price — it includes slippage that an order-book quote would not.

For BASE the project publishes a public source repository and an active account as @baseprotocol. That is a partial paper trail — enough to check claims against, not enough to audit. None of it is a quality judgement about the asset; it is simply what can be independently checked before the chart is worth looking at.

Where BASE sits in the market

Base Protocol ranks #5528, in the middle of the long tail, where listing status changes more often than price does, far outside the set of assets that carry continuous market-maker coverage. At this end of the table the first question is data integrity rather than valuation: a quote can originate from a single pool or a single venue, reported volume is difficult to verify independently, and the distance between the last print and a genuinely executable price can be wide. Treat any indicator computed on this series as provisional.

We are not currently receiving a live BASE order book from any of the exchanges connected to this site, so no real-time quote is shown above. That is itself information: it usually means the pair is unlisted on the venues we track, or trading has been halted. BASE is a Ethereum asset, so whatever turnover exists is most likely in Uniswap-style AMM pools rather than on a centralised book, and every fill there costs ETH in gas on top of the pool's own fee.

BASE against its all-time high

Base Protocol's record high is $35.25, set on 2023-08-31. A high in this range means BASE carries a meaningful unit price, so round-number levels near the peak tend to be watched as references in their own right. It was set 3 years ago. A peak that old describes a supply structure and a holder base that have almost certainly turned over since. We are not quoting a drawdown from it because no tracked venue is giving us a live BASE price — a stale or single-pool number would make that percentage look precise when it is not.

BASE across its historical range

BASE has traded across a 3,339x range, between $0.0106 and $35.25. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

The record low of $0.0106 was printed on 2025-12-12 — about a year ago. We have no live quote to measure the current distance from it.

BASE supply and valuation data

At #5528 there is no reliable third-party supply audit for BASE at all — token counts this far down the table are frequently restated, and we would rather show nothing than show a number that moves without notice. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $139 thousand as of 2026-05-12. That is in the bottom quartile of tracked assets, a range where a single liquidity provider can account for most of the quoted value.

Because that valuation is a snapshot rather than a live figure, we deliberately do not back out a supply number from it — the price has moved since, and the division would produce a confident-looking token count that is simply wrong. Check the project's own explorer for the current supply before using any per-token valuation. The authoritative figure is the one etherscan.io reports for this contract.

What kind of asset BASE is

Base Protocol trades primarily as an ecosystem asset rather than as a base-layer network of its own, which means it carries a beta to its host chain. When the host chain's native asset rallies, tokens in its ecosystem typically amplify the move in both directions, and liquidity for them is concentrated on that chain's venues.

CoinGecko files BASE under 2 categories, including Rebase Tokens, Ethereum Ecosystem. CoinGecko also records deployments on Ethereum (3,072 tracked tokens), so its on-chain liquidity and its user base move with that network.

How to set a Base Protocol alert that is worth receiving

Base Protocol is the ERC-20 at 0x0715…5fdc on Ethereum — high dated 2023-08-31 — rank #5528. On this profile the condition that carries signal is a volume-surge condition on the 1-hour or 4-hour candle paired with a wide price threshold.
