Ether on Base is the chain's native asset — it pays gas and anchors the pools — so it has no token contract of its own: the tracker lists it at the zero address 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000, the placeholder native assets carry. This snapshot is dated October 9, 2026.
The figures read like a chain's bloodstream: $39.2 million of tracked pool liquidity and $4.0 million traded in the last day, across a listed supply of 120.5 million tokens matching the asset's total issuance. Depth reads deep in absolute terms, with 597 days of history behind the listing.
Because there is no token contract, there are no mint or freeze postures to read — the usual token-page checks do not apply to a native asset, and the grade B on this row reflects market structure rather than contract risk. What is worth weighing is the bridge: Ether's supply on Base arrives through bridge custody, so the asset is native while its backing path is not.

FAQ
Is ETH a safe token?
As of the 2026-10-09 snapshot, ETH scores 100/100 (grade A) on HostDeFi's on-chain read — based on a native gas asset with no deployer contract controls (nothing to mint, pause, or blacklist), liquidity of $39.22M. That grades contract and market structure, not price direction — a clean read is not a guarantee, so re-scan before trading, since on-chain state can change.
Can you sell ETH, or is it a honeypot?
Nothing to trap — ETH is Base's native asset, not a contract with a pause or blacklist lever, so no sell-blocking control exists to weigh as of 2026-10-09. How cleanly an exit fills still comes down to your size against the $39.22M of measured depth.
Who holds most of ETH?
Per-wallet distribution for ETH wasn't resolved in the 2026-10-09 snapshot. Run the live scan, which reads holder concentration directly from the chain.
Can ETH's supply be inflated?
No — ETH is Base's native asset, so no contract mint function exists to inflate it; supply is set by the network, not a deployer, as of the 2026-10-09 snapshot.
What is the ETH contract address?
ETH is Base's native asset — it has no deployed contract address. The 0x0000000000000000000000000000000000000000 marker is the network's own placeholder for the coin, not a contract to verify.
Where can you buy ETH safely?
Run the live on-chain scan at the top of this page first; if ETH clears, you can swap it here directly. ETH is Base's native asset — you buy the coin itself; there is no contract address to match.
