Feature availability

Send and receive: The same 0x address as on Ethereum and the other EVM networks. You can send to an ENS name as well as an address.
Tokens: ERC-20 tokens. Assets Discovery finds tokens you hold that are not on your home screen, and you can add any other by its contract address.
NFTs: See and send ERC-721 and ERC-1155 NFTs. ERC-1155 NFTs are sent one at a time. They are in the NFTs tab of the ETH page on Base.
Fee options: Choose Slow, Normal or Fast, or set the max fee and priority fee yourself. A pending transaction can be sped up or cancelled.
Swap: Trade one token for another on Base with Swap. A swap takes place within one network.
Bridge: Move tokens between Base and 33 other networks with Bridge.
Earn: In Earn, lend tokens to DeFi protocols through Yield Products. The app shows each product’s protocol, rate and risk level; rates change and are not guaranteed.
Hardware and cold wallets: Sign on a Keystone or a Goldshell by scanning QR codes, or on an offline phone in cold wallet mode. See Hardware & Cold Wallets.
DApps and WalletConnect: Open DApps in Discover, or connect to DApps on your computer with WalletConnect.
Private keys and watch wallets: Import a wallet by its private key, or follow any 0x address as a watch wallet.
Risk warnings: Warnings for risky tokens and NFTs, for scam, sanctioned and look-alike addresses, and for risky contracts. Approvals lists and revokes what you have approved, and spam transactions are hidden.

Important notes

ETH on Base is not ETH on Ethereum. Both are called ETH, but each network keeps its own balance, and ETH on Ethereum cannot pay a fee on Base. To move ETH between them, use Bridge.
The same address on every EVM network. Your Base address is also your address on Ethereum, BNB Chain and the other EVM networks. A token sent on another network arrives there, not on Base, so check the network before you send or withdraw. See I sent crypto on the wrong network.
Approvals last until you revoke them. Approve only what a DApp needs, and revoke what you no longer use. See Token approvals.

Questions

In the help center

Which network do I choose to withdraw to FxWallet from an exchange?

Base. In FxWallet the network is called Base too: tap Receive and choose ETH on Base to copy your address. It is the same address as on Ethereum, so make sure the exchange sends on Base. See Deposit or receive crypto.

Where are my NFTs on Base?

In the NFTs tab of the ETH page on Base: on the Wallet tab, tap ETH on Base, then NFTs. FxWallet shows ERC-721 and ERC-1155 NFTs and can send them; ERC-1155 NFTs are sent one at a time. See NFT FAQ.

Can I move my wallet from MetaMask or another Base wallet?

Yes. Import its mnemonic phrase: FxWallet derives EVM accounts on the same path as MetaMask (m/44'/60'/0'/0/n), so the addresses match. You can also import a single account by its private key, or follow an address as a watch wallet.
