Basenji BENJI

What BENJI actually is on-chain

Basenji is an ERC-20 deployed on Base, at contract address 0xbc45647ea894030a4e9801ec03479739fa2485f0. That address, not the ticker BENJI, is what uniquely identifies this asset: anyone can deploy a second token calling itself BENJI, but the contract is unforgeable. Verify it against basescan.org before sending funds or approving a spend.

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

Another asset tracked on this site also uses the ticker BENJI: Taylor Swift's Cat Benji (Solana, CPjDhh…MyYU). The asset on this page is specifically the Base deployment at 0xbc45…85f0. 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 BENJI the project publishes an active account as @basenjiofficial. 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 BENJI sits in the market

Basenji ranks #2446, in the top of the long tail, just below the band most screeners still cover, 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 1 live BENJI order book (Gate.io). That is thinner coverage than a #2446 ranking would normally imply — a move on one of these books is close to the whole market for BENJI, with no deep second venue to arbitrage it back. None of the books we see for BENJI are regulated US or Korean venues, so this is an offshore-quoted asset — availability, and the price itself, depend on which jurisdiction you trade from.

BENJI against its all-time high

More than 95% separates BENJI from its all-time high of $0.1050 (on 2024-06-10) — a 101x recovery. At that distance the high stops working as a reference at all; it belongs to a different supply structure, a different holder base and typically a different cycle. What carries information for BENJI now is the downside, so read the range section below before this one. That high was set roughly 2 years ago, recently enough that it still anchors how most current holders frame the asset.

BENJI across its historical range

The recorded range runs 76.2x, from $0.00137817 to $0.1050 — wide by the standards of traditional assets, moderate for this one's class.

At -24.3% above its record low of $0.00137817 (on 2026-02-06), BENJI sits near the edge of its own price history. Nothing has traded beneath that level, so there is no support to reference, no volume shelf and no cost-basis cluster underneath. 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.

BENJI supply and valuation data

Supply figures for BENJI are self-reported at this rank rather than reconciled against the chain, so we publish the valuation we have and not a circulating-supply number we cannot check. What we do have is a fully diluted valuation of $2.2 million as of 2026-05-12. That sits around the middle of the distribution — roughly half the assets tracked here carry a smaller fully diluted value.

Since the figure is a snapshot rather than a live number, we do not reverse it into a supply count: the price has moved since it was taken, and that division would produce a confident but incorrect token count. For any per-token valuation, check the current supply on the project's own explorer first. The authoritative figure is the one basescan.org reports for this contract.

What kind of asset BENJI is

Basenji is a base-layer network, so BENJI 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 BENJI 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.

CoinGecko files BENJI under 6 categories, including Meme, Base Ecosystem, Dog-Themed, Base Meme, IP Meme.
