Route timing: ZyroShift shows the live estimate inside the swap flow, because completion time changes with the exact pair, market path, and destination confirmations.
What is Base used for in swap routes?
Base appears in routes where the network itself changes how the swap should be evaluated, especially around wallet compatibility, transfer expectations, and the type of ecosystem the user is entering or leaving.
On a hub page like this, the role of Base is to make those infrastructure choices explicit so users can decide whether this rail fits their wallet, next app, and cost tolerance before creating a route.
How Base changes a swap
Fee profile
Route-dependent
Base changes how network cost should be evaluated, so live route details still need to be checked before sending funds.
Compatibility
Base-specific
This network matters when the receiving wallet or next application expects Base specifically.
Wallet fit
Network-aware
The selected wallet and destination app still need to match the network rail shown on the route.
Best fit
Infrastructure-specific routes
Use Base when network compatibility itself is part of the decision, not just the token.

FAQ
Why use Base routes instead of another network?
Base matters when the receiving wallet, cost profile, or next app makes this network a better fit than other supported rails.
Do Base routes change fees and compatibility?
Yes. That is the core reason network hub pages exist: the network can change transfer cost, wallet expectations, and settlement behavior even when the token symbol stays the same.
Can I send from an exchange to a Base route?
Only if the exchange supports the exact network shown on the route page. The withdrawal rail must match the route instructions exactly.
What should I verify before using a Base route?
Check the live route details, make sure the wallet supports Base, and verify that the send and receive sides match the network shown before sending funds.
