Base

What’s the cheapest way to swap Base ETH for USDC? Looks like Uniswap has a 5% fee, is that the best option?

Coinbase Wallet not only has free swaps, but completely free (no gas!) USDC sends, if you want to move your USDC to custody or cold storage or pay somebody. 

I’ve found it to be the most cost-efficient wallet

They don’t add any fee on top of swaps?

No. They seemingly subsidize free trades in the self custodial wallet with extremely expensive trades in the custodial product. You do have to pay gas.

No clue how they are routed either. I wouldn’t use them for anything that wasn’t a big pair because of this. For $DEGEN swaps it’s fine. Or ETH <> USDC. Whatever

any idea how they’re routed? is it just uniswap or more complex?

Wow. I didn’t realize because it’s the primary way other wallets make money. Hard to compete with free
