Trade on Base with XAUConnect

Trade on Base with XAUConnect when the pool you need is on Base, chain id 8453. Gas is ETH on Base, which is not the ETH sitting on Ethereum mainnet.

You get onto Base by bridging or by buying ETH there. A swap on Base never spends mainnet ETH. Coinbase Wallet, MetaMask, and Rabby can add chain id 8453. Confirm it in the header before you sign. Newer memecoins here need a contract check on Basescan.

When to stay on mainnet

If the deep pool is on Ethereum and your size is large, Base's cheaper gas does not create depth. Use the chain where the pool can absorb the order.

What to open next

Get ETH onto Base before you swap. Mainnet ETH will not pay this gas. If the deep pool is still on Ethereum, stay there for large size. Cheap L2 gas does not create depth.
