What Base is

Base is an Ethereum layer-2 network built by Coinbase. A layer-2 is a separate chain that settles its transactions back to Ethereum, which is why fees are a small fraction of Ethereum’s: Base’s own docs say transactions “settle in under a second, and cost less than one cent”.

On fomo, Base is one of seven EVM networks. Your account has a single EVM address that works on all of them, so the address fomo shows for Base is the same one it shows for BNB Chain, Ethereum, Monad, Robinhood Chain, Arc and Elysium. fomo’s help centre names basescan.org as the Base explorer.

Funding and withdrawing on Base

• Deposit asset: USDC on Base. Select Base in the app and send on Base. USDT sent to the address shows up as a USDT holding, not as cash.
• Minimum: 0.50 USDC credits your cash balance. Less than that stays at your deposit address, which is your own wallet, until a top-up on Base clears the minimum.
• Where it goes: the USDC moves into your cash balance, which lives on Solana, while you are signed in.
• Withdrawals: USDC on Base, to an address on Base. The review screen shows the fee, which can be free. fomo’s deposit screen can also list Coinbase under “Exchanges and apps”, for accounts that have it; that is a separate route from sending USDC on Base yourself.

What a trade costs

fomo’s fee on Base is 0.50% per trade, with no fixed small-trade amounts, plus the network fee, which you pay. The table above works out fomo’s part at three sizes from its published schedule. On a small trade Base can work out cheaper than Solana’s fixed tiers, because the percentage applies all the way down; the network fee is the part to check in your quote.

Base’s history on fomo

fomo’s blog has a Base recap post from September 2025, but DefiLlama’s fee data for fomo on Base starts on December 9, 2025, the first day of fomo’s Relay fee data. Treat that as a data start date.

Base behaved differently from the other chains. Its best stretch came early: the biggest single day was January 31, 2026 ($239K of fees), and February 2026 was its best month at $1.57M, ahead of its $0.95M in September 2026, when the other chains peaked. By October 2026 Base fees were $163K. Its share of fomo’s fees is in the bars above.
