eth names vs basenames vs wallet address sometimes i type peoples eth names instead of their wallet address and it works and sometimes it doesnt work sometimes a website/app accepts eth names and not base eth names long story short i wouldnt feel safe just sending eth to someones base or eth name yet

etherscan.io resolves basic ENS, and there's eth.limo and eth.sucks to see if those are more complex sites. https://www.base.org/names is useful for some marginal diligence. ENS is more secure than DNS, so back in the day degens like me would search for FTP servers that were just a IPv4 address, which was really insecure and sketchy. when in doubt, there should be a legit explorer website that can sandbox what you're looking for before you interact directly.

Same. I check eth name on the eth name website to make sure. You can connect all your wallets to one eth name but donβt know anyone who would do that. Base names are subordinated eth names I think. Only display on base chain

If something supports ENS names, it *should* support Basenames since they're just ENS names that get started on Base but roll up into the main ENS contact on Ethereum mainnet. You may see problems with Basenames because of bad assumptions in software on how ENS names are structured - e.g., Metamask treated my old cold.usdc.jrh3k5.eth ENS as invalid, presumably because it thought there should only be one period in an ENS.

This is indeed a real problem! I am working on a wallet comparison site, and one of the things it will look at is whether each wallet supports all these address formats. https://warpcast.com/polymutex.eth/0x4efa144d
