Wanted to tip some farcasters I had great debates with last week - sharing my experience (as a crypto savvy user) bc it was still so subpar

1. Gas issue - didn’t have ETH on Base. Plenty of USDC, disappointing I couldn’t use that 

2. Went to swap some USDC to ETH. $5 USDC -> $3 ETH (see screenshot). This feels absurd 

3. Looking at the screenshot now: I think it would have been ETH on Ethereum (not Base, which is what I needed). Realizing this in real-time as I write this post. Experience of selecting an asset to receive was very clunky; feels like it should have been far more simple

Update: it was user error - I clicked Ethereum as the chain (thinking it was ETH the asset). $5 USDC converted to $4.95 ETH on Base

Definitely my fault, but am also someone who is very familiar with interacting onchain. Still wonder if there’s a way to make the swap experience even simpler to reduce user errors like mine
