BASEDChad BASED

What BASED actually is on-chain

BASEDChad is an ERC-20 deployed on Base, at contract address 0x17931cfc3217261ce0fa21bb066633c463ed8634. 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 basescan.org before sending funds or approving a spend.

Because it lives on Base, BASED is held in any EVM-compatible wallet, transfers are paid for in ETH rather than in BASED itself, and secondary liquidity sits in Aerodrome and Uniswap 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 (Ethereum, 0x4f2b…ed87); Based Coin (Base, 0x07d1…DffB); BASED (Base, 0x32e0…fde6); BASED (Solana, Em4rcu…pump), and 2 more. The asset on this page is specifically the Base deployment at 0x1793…8634. 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 @chadsonbase. 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

BASEDChad ranks #9542, in the far end of the rank table, where a capitalisation figure is barely meaningful, 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.

CryptoPingAi is currently streaming 4 live BASED order books (Bybit, OKX, HTX, Bithumb). That is wider coverage than most assets ranked near #9542 carry, so a divergence on any one of them is far more likely to be a local liquidity event than a genuine repricing. 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 trading within 917.0% of its all-time high of $0.00513753 (on 2024-03-25). This is price discovery: there is no overhead supply from earlier buyers and no horizontal resistance with any historical basis, because the asset has never traded here before. Support levels drawn from the chart are the only structure that exists, and momentum readings — an overbought oscillator, an exhausted volume profile — carry more information than any level you could draw above spot. That high was set 3 years ago, recently enough that it still anchors how most current holders frame the asset.

BASED across its historical range

BASED has traded across a 383x range, between $0.0000134 and $0.00513753. Any volatility figure quoted for this asset depends heavily on which part of that range it is measured over.

Spot is roughly 3,899x above the $0.0000134 low (on 2026-05-12). The practical consequence is a cost-basis distribution skewed by orders of magnitude: a slice of the supply was acquired at a price that rounds to zero against today's, and that supply is price-insensitive on the way up. Rallies in an asset like this do not fail because demand disappears — they fail because early supply meets them.

BASED supply and valuation data

At #9542 there is no reliable third-party supply audit for BASED 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 $13 thousand as of 2026-05-13. That is in the bottom quartile of tracked assets, a range where a single liquidity provider can account for most of the quoted value.

That valuation is a point-in-time snapshot, not a live figure, so we deliberately avoid dividing it back into a token count — the price has moved since, and the arithmetic would yield a precise-looking supply number that is simply wrong. Read the current supply from the project's own explorer before relying on any per-token valuation. The authoritative figure is the one basescan.org reports for this contract.

What kind of asset BASED is

BASEDChad is a base-layer network, so BASED is simultaneously the chain's security budget and its unit of account rather than a claim on a business. 1,487 tokens tracked on this site are tagged to its ecosystem. That is the fourth-largest such set here, behind Solana's 3,129. The honest way to value a chain at that scale is as infrastructure rent: demand for BASED is derived from how much economic activity chooses to settle there, and because large smart-contract platforms compete for the same developers, these assets trade on ecosystem-share narratives far more than on incremental releases. It is secured by proof of stake, so a portion of the supply is bonded to validators at any moment and the float genuinely available to trade is smaller than the circulating figure implies; unstaking queues, not order books, set how fast that can change.
