Quote Ethereum to BaseHow routing works

Route from L1 to Base

Betelgeuse requests an available LI.FI route for the chosen Ethereum and Base assets. Depending on the pair, the result can combine swaps with a bridge step.

Ethereum gas is paid on the source transaction. After delivery, ETH on Base is needed for future Base transactions.

Check the destination

Both networks use EVM addresses, but the destination network still matters. Confirm that Base is selected as the receive network before signing.

  • Keep ETH for source gas.
  • Check the Base token contract.
  • Review the expected output and cross-chain timing.
