Tokens on Base are standard ERC-20 contracts on an Ethereum layer-2, so they inherit Ethereum tooling with much lower fees. Early liquidity usually sits on Aerodrome or Uniswap. Coinbase listed Base among the supported networks for expedited listings in its September 2025 listing guide, but a Base deployment does not by itself mean a Coinbase listing; every asset still goes through Coinbase’s reviews.
Key takeaways
- Base is EVM-compatible; ERC-20 tooling and audits apply.
- Coinbase names Base among networks supported for expedited listings, which affects integration time, not approval.
- Aerodrome and Uniswap are the common liquidity venues.
- Low fees make active liquidity management practical.

Frequently asked questions
Does launching on Base mean Coinbase will list our token?
No. Coinbase evaluates every asset through the same business, legal, compliance, and security reviews. Being on a supported network can make integration faster once approved.
Where does liquidity form for Base tokens?
Commonly in Aerodrome pools and Uniswap pools on Base, with aggregators routing across them.
Should we deploy on Base and Ethereum mainnet?
It depends on where your users are. Multiple deployments split liquidity and complicate exchange deposits; document official addresses and choose a primary deposit network.
