How to send ETH on Base
- Ask the receiver for a ETH address on Base and check the network name on their deposit page matches. ETH on another network is a different token and a deposit on the wrong one is usually lost.
- On the exchange choose ETH, then network Base; the form shows the fee and minimum. Right now the enabled rails are Binance ($0.133) and KuCoin ($0.265).
- Paste the address, send a small test amount first if the sum is large, and wait for the receiver to credit it.
- Paste the address into the address check to confirm it belongs to Base before confirming; then use the route planner if you want every rail ranked for your amount.

Questions
- Why does the ETH fee on Base change?
- We do not read Base's fee market directly, so the only figures here are what exchanges charge to withdraw. Those are set by the exchange, usually as a flat amount of ETH, and change without notice; we re-read them every 10 minutes.
- What is the minimum ETH withdrawal on Base?
- Right now: Binance 0.002 ETH, HTX 0.005 ETH and KuCoin 0.0002 ETH. Below the minimum the exchange refuses the withdrawal; at or just above it the flat fee is a large share of what arrives ($0.133 of a 0.002 ETH withdrawal at Binance).
- Is Base the cheapest network to send ETH right now?
- No. BNB Smart Chain is cheapest right now at $0.025 total; Base is $0.133, rank 4 of 5. Cheapest only matters if the receiver accepts ETH on that network.
