How bridging to Base works
- 01Pick the asset and the destination
Choose what you are sending and select Base as the destination network. The amount that will arrive, the route and the time estimate appear before you connect anything.
- 02Compare routes
Every provider that covers the pair returns a live quote. They are ranked by the final amount after fees; the best one is selected and the others stay visible.
- 03Approve and sign
Tokens need a one-time approval for the exact amount; native gas tokens skip it. Then one signature creates the transaction on the source network.
- 04Receive on Base
Funds arrive at your address on Base once the source transaction is final; Base typically settles in ~40 s. You will need a little ETH to move them onward.
Questions
How long does a bridge to Base take?
Usually a few minutes. Base confirms in about ~40 s; the total depends on the source network's finality plus relay time. The app shows an estimate per route.
Do I need ETH to receive on Base?
Not to receive. Gas is paid on the source network. You will need ETH on Base before you can send the funds anywhere else.
Which providers route Base?
The routes table lists them for each pair. Coverage differs by provider; where only one provider covers a pair, you see one route rather than a filler row.
What happens if a route fails?
Intent-based routes settle or fail as a unit. On failure the funds stay in your wallet on the source network. Routes that use a bridge plus a swap show their status step by step, with explorer links.
