Based BASED

What BASED actually is on-chain

Based is an ERC-20 deployed on Ethereum, at contract address 0x4f2b33840227ddd0e28da8d4185d6fa07adfed87. That address, not the ticker BASED, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself BASED, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against etherscan.io before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Ethereum, BASED is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in BASED 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.

6 other assets tracked on this site also use the ticker BASED: Based Coin (Base, 0x07d1…DffB); BASED (Base, 0x32e0…fde6); BASED (Solana, Em4rcu…pump); Basedmilio (Base, 0x28e2…af99), and 2 more. The asset on this page is specifically the Ethereum deployment at 0x4f2b…ed87. These are unrelated tokens with separate contracts, separate supply and separate price histories — a price alert set on one of them says nothing about the others, and a ticker search is not enough to tell them apart.

For BASED the project publishes an active account as @BasedOneX. 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 BASED sits in the market

At #857, Based is in the upper small-cap band. Books at this depth are thin enough that one sizeable market order can move the printed price by several percent and retrace within minutes, which is precisely why a single static price target makes a poor trigger — you want a condition that survives one wick. Availability is concentrated in a handful of venues and volume-based delisting is a live risk rather than a theoretical one.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 4 live BASED order books (Bybit, OKX, HTX, Bithumb). That is coverage in line with a #857 ranking: enough books to cross-check a quote, few enough that one of them can dominate price formation for hours at a time. One of them is a Korean won market, so the Kimchi-premium spread between the KRW and USDT quote is visible on this page.

BASED against its all-time high

BASED is 83.3% off its $0.3080 high (on 2026-04-16). At this depth the arithmetic turns against a recovery narrative: getting back to the record takes 6.00x, not a rebound. The high is better read as the marker of a completed cycle than as a target — most of the holders above spot are underwater by enough that their behaviour on the way up is supply, not demand. That high was set within the last six months, recently enough that it still anchors how most current holders frame the asset.

BASED across its historical range

The recorded range is comparatively narrow: 6.13x between $0.0503 and $0.3080. Either the price history is short, or the asset is designed not to move.

BASED is within 2.1% of its all-time low of $0.0503, printed on 2026-04-11. This is the part of a chart with no history: there is no prior trading below this level, so there is no support to reference, no volume shelf and no cost-basis cluster to lean on. That low is recent, so this is an active downtrend rather than an old floor holding: each fresh low retires the previous one as a reference.

BASED supply and valuation data

Based sits just outside the band where circulating and total supply are independently verified, so we hold a valuation figure for BASED but not an audited token count. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $104.0 million as of 2026-05-12. That is in the top 5% of the assets tracked on this site by fully diluted 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 BASED is

Based is a decentralised exchange token. The economics are unusually legible for crypto: the protocol generates fees from trading volume, and the token's value proposition rests on whether it captures any of them. Volume on the underlying venue, the fee switch status and competitive pressure from other venues are the variables that actually matter — and DEX volume is itself highly cyclical, so revenue is not a stable base.

CoinGecko files BASED under 10 categories, including Decentralized Exchange (DEX), Decentralized Finance (DeFi), BNB Chain Ecosystem, Derivatives, Perpetuals. CoinGecko also records deployments on BNB Chain (2,027 tracked tokens), Ethereum (3,072 tracked tokens), Hyperliquid (40 tracked tokens), so on-chain liquidity is split across several networks and the cheapest venue depends on which deployment you are trading. Worth flagging from the metadata: BASED has been featured in Binance Alpha Spotlight.

How to set a Based alert that is worth receiving
