Base is live.

The traders you tail can take you to Base now, on your rules.

The TAIL flock arriving at the Base square, with Base’s pixels bursting out of it
The short answer

TAIL now trades on Base. When a trader you tail buys or sells on Base, TAIL copies it under your rules, and a buy chip on a Base token page buys it in one tap, from the same USDC balance you use on every chain.

What’s live today.

Base is TAIL’s fourth trading chain, alongside Solana, Robinhood Chain and BNB Chain. What works there works on Base: copies of the traders you tail, one-tap buys and sells from a token page, and a receipt for every fill.

It’s on for every account. You don’t add a wallet, switch networks or hold ETH: Base trades spend the same USDC balance, and TAIL pays the network gas and includes it, at cost, in the one Fees number on your receipt.

Start in a minute.

  1. Open TAIL and check your USDC balance. Buys start at $1.
  2. Tail a trader who trades on Base, or pick one from the Traders tab.
  3. Your sizes and rules apply on Base the same way they do everywhere else. Change them in the TAIL app.
  4. Or open any Base token in TAIL and tap a buy chip.

Same rules. Same receipts.

Your size, your limits, how late is too late and how you get out all come with you to Base. A trader buying a token starts a decision, not a bypass of one.

Every Base fill prints the same receipt: the price the pool filled at, your entry, the time from their trade to yours, and the fees.

On your terminal.

The TAIL extension’s overlay reads Base token pages on Axiom, GMGN, DEX Screener and MevX. Buying Base from the overlay comes with the extension’s newest version: it’s at tail.family/download now, and it comes to the Chrome Web Store with the next store update.

A few things to know.

Is Base live for every TAIL account?

Yes. It’s on for every account, with no waitlist and no separate setup.

Do I need ETH on Base?

No. You trade from your USDC balance. TAIL pays Base’s network gas and includes it, at cost, in the Fees on your receipt.

What does a Base trade cost?

The same as every chain: 1% plus network gas at cost, shown as one Fees number.

Can I still deposit from Base?

Yes. Base is a deposit source as well as a trading chain.
