How to buy SHIB on Base

November 6, 2026

SHIB on Base trades on Uniswap. Here is the whole path, start to finish.

1. Get a wallet that speaks Base

Any EVM wallet works - MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow. Add the Base network if your wallet does not include it already (Chain ID 8453).

2. Fund it with ETH on Base

You need a little ETH on Base for the swap and fees. Bridge from Ethereum or withdraw directly to Base from an exchange that supports it.

3. Verify the contract

The Schismatic Shiba project contract on Base:

0xFCa95aeb5bF44aE355806A5ad14659c940dC6BF7

Check it against Base Blockscout or the pinned posts in the official Telegram. Never trust a contract address from a DM.

4. Swap on Uniswap

Open the official Uniswap link - it preloads the correct token. Set your amount, review the price and fees, and confirm.

5. Watch it burn

Sells trigger the built-in auto-burn: 0.01% of the pool's token balance is sent to the designated burn address, throttled to once per 12 seconds, with no tax on trades. Tokens at that address are out of circulation. That is the schism at work.

Nothing here is financial advice. Only ever spend what you can afford to lose.
