Learn the simple steps to receive any Base Chain asset directly to your Best Wallet. This is useful if you want to deposit tokens like ETH on Base to your Best Wallet from another crypto wallet you own or from crypto exchanges such as Coinbase or Binance.

Note: You can only receive and trade Base Chain assets in your multi-chain wallets in Best Wallet.

You can either watch our video tutorial or follow the easy steps below:

First, select which wallet in Best Wallet you want to receive your Base assets. Once you’ve chosen your wallet, tap the “Receive” button on the card section.

You can also receive tokens from within the "Trade" tab.

Both bring you to the same Receive page. Next, make sure you're receiving your tokens to the right wallet — you can change your wallet at the top.

You will see a list of all your wallets in Best Wallet — remember, you can only deposit Base assets to your multi-chain wallets.

Once you've got the right wallet, the next step is finding your Base Chain address.

Remember: You can only deposit Base tokens to your multi-chain wallets in Best Wallet — not your EVM-only wallets.

The next step is to ensure that you get the correct blockchain address.

You have several different addresses within one wallet — one for Base, one for Ethereum, one for Bitcoin, and so on. Although they all fall under one wallet, they are distinct addresses for their respective blockchains, and quite often can't interact with each other (unless they are EVM addresses).

It's also important to note that many tokens exist on different networks. This means that tokens like USDT, ETH, and many more can be on Base, Ethereum, Solana, and many more chains. It's important to select the right token to get the right token address — check for the small chain symbol or the chain tag.

To find a Base asset address, either search via token:

Or via chain:

Then select the Base Chain.

Remember: If you try to receive Base assets to a non-compatible address (like your Bitcoin address), your deposit will either fail or your funds will be lost.

Next, you will see your Base-specific address. If you selected via token, you will see the token name, then Base Chain.

Alternatively, if you choose via the chain list, you will see your Base Chain address — these addresses are the same.

Your Base address is the long alphanumeric string at the bottom, whilst you can also use your QR grid (which represents that same alphanumeric string).

You can copy and share your long alphanumeric wallet address directly from this screen.

If you’re receiving a Base asset from another wallet or an exchange, copying and pasting this address into the other platform is the easiest way to ensure accuracy.

If you're depositing from another wallet or an exchange, you will need to copy and paste the address into their send/withdraw field.

Note: Base transactions are fast, but if sending from an exchange, it may take a few minutes to arrive.

Also, remember that all blockchain transactions, including Base, are irreversible. Ensure the wallet address you use for the transfer is 100% correct to avoid any issues receiving your Base assets. You can track any Base transaction via the Base blockchain explorer: https://basescan.org/.

If you're new to receiving or transferring Base assets, it's a good crypto practice a small test amount first. This approach allows you to familiarise yourself with the Receive process in Best Wallet and practice how to securely transfer your funds without putting large sums at risk.

The time it takes to receive Base assets depends on the network's activity and where you're sending from — if you're depositing from Coinbase, it may take longer than from another wallet. On busier days, transactions may take anywhere from a minute to an hour. Larger transactions may also take longer to confirm.

Once you’ve received your Base asset, it will reflect in your wallet's token list, as well as the History section of your Trade tab.

While receiving Base Chain tokens in your Best Wallet is straightforward, make sure to double-check all the details, including your wallet address, to ensure the transfer goes through smoothly.

If your Base Chain asset doesn't show up instantly, don’t worry. It’s likely just pending while the network processes it. Give it a few minutes, refresh your wallet, and your tokens should be visible shortly.
