Base Base is supported for onramps and offramps. As an EVM chain, assets are plain ERC-20 contracts and offramps need a one-time token approval before the customer can sell — with gasless offramps, the user doesn’t even need ETH. The end-to-end flows live in the Onramps and Offramps guides.

Asset identifiers

Base assets are identified by the raw token contract address only — e.g. 0xcC77c598d42f2f78Beb42C91d12B9d4041a5cE29.
Do not prefix with a symbol. Using SYMBOL:0x... (the Stellar-style format) on an EVM chain returns UnsupportedBlockchain. Pass just the 0x… address from GET /ramp/assets?blockchain=base.

Stablebond addresses

Live token-contract addresses for every stablebond on Base, each linked to Basescan:

Offramps: approve the token first

Selling an ERC-20 requires a standard approve() so Etherfuse’s contracts can move the token. Generate that approval with POST /ramp/evm/approve before creating the offramp order — otherwise the offramp transaction fails on-chain.
  • Omit amount (recommended) to approve the maximum — a one-time approval per token per chain covers all future offramps. Or pass amount in base units to approve a specific amount.
  • If a sufficient allowance already exists, the response is {"transaction": null} — nothing to sign, go straight to the order.
  • Otherwise, have the user sign and submit the returned transaction, then create the offramp via POST /ramp/order.

​
Gasless offramps

When gasless offramps are enabled for your organization, Etherfuse covers the native gas (ETH on Base) for the offramp and bundles that cost into the offramp fee — so your users don’t need to hold ETH.
Minimum offramp size. Because the combined fee can never exceed 50% of the order, very small offramps are rejected with OrderTooSmall (“Combined fee … exceeds maximum (5000 bps / 50%)”). The bundled gas cost is roughly $0.50, so offramp at least ~50 CETES (or equivalent) at a time. See Errors.
Gasless offramps and the POST /ramp/evm/approve flow are feature-gated per organization — contact Etherfuse to enable them.
