Base

This page lists what Farbeam reads on Base. Live values are on the Base data page. The API returns the same facts from Get a chain.

#What is indexed

ERC-20 Transfer logs of the five tokens below, at $100,000 or more. Native ETH on Base is not stored.

#Curated tokens

The curated tokens page explains the list and its prices.

#Measured values

These figures are a snapshot from the API at 2026-11-04T19:33:40.036Z UTC. They are examples, and they change on every poll. They are not targets.

#Quirks

• Native ETH is not indexed. A large ETH transfer on Base leaves no row. Wrapped ETH as WETH does.
• Two USD Coin contracts. USDC is the native Circle token. USDbC is the older bridged token. Both are priced as usd-coin. Filter with token_address if you need one, or use token in ["USDC", "USDbC"] for both.
• **cbBTC is priced as wrapped-bitcoin.** There is no separate cbBTC price feed in this service.
• Shared WETH address. 0x4200000000000000000000000000000000000006 is also the WETH address on OP Mainnet. Always pair an address with a chain.
• Row volume. Base produced more rows than any other chain in early data. On 2026-11-04 UTC, the stats endpoint showed 2,012 Base rows against 689 Ethereum rows over about 27 minutes. Many are hops of one route, so read transfers vs trades before you sum them.

#Try it

curl -s "https://farbeamlabs.com/api/v1/chains/base"

const res = await fetch("https://farbeamlabs.com/api/v1/chains/base");
const { data } = await res.json();
console.log(data.status.status, data.status.head, data.tokens.length);

import requests

data = requests.get("https://farbeamlabs.com/api/v1/chains/base", timeout=30).json()["data"]
print(data["status"]["status"], data["status"]["head"], len(data["tokens"]))

A rule for this chain, from the Beamline examples style: chain == "base" and token == "cbBTC" and usd >= 500k.
