Why this matters: token tickers and names can repeat across contracts. Verifying the exact contract is the simplest way to avoid wrong-token trades.
Base chain, in simple terms
Base is an Ethereum Layer 2 (L2) network built to make transactions faster and cheaper than mainnet, while staying compatible with Ethereum tools. If you’ve used Ethereum wallets and dapps, you can generally use them on Base with lower gas fees.
- L2 explained: it batches many transactions off the main Ethereum chain, then posts proofs back to Ethereum for security.
- DEX explained: a decentralized exchange (like Uniswap or Sushi) lets you swap tokens peer‑to‑peer via smart contracts, no central order book needed.
