Quick answers on fees, Base withdrawals, wallets and swapping for $SKI Mask Dog.
What fees should I expect when buying $SKI?+
Three small fees: (1) the exchange's trading fee for buying ETH (Coinbase ~1.5%, Binance ~0.1%, Swyftx ~0.6%), (2) the network withdrawal fee from the exchange to Base (often free or a few cents), and (3) the Uniswap swap fee on Base (~0.25–1% plus ~$0.01 in gas). Total cost is usually under 2%.
How do I withdraw ETH on the Base network?+
On the exchange's withdraw screen, choose ETH, paste your wallet address, and select 'Base' as the network (NOT Ethereum mainnet, NOT Arbitrum). Coinbase and Binance both support direct Base withdrawals. Swyftx users withdraw on Ethereum and bridge via bridge.base.org. Always send a small test amount first.
Which wallet should I use for $SKI on Base?+
Coinbase Wallet (best one-tap Base support) or MetaMask (add Base manually: chain ID 8453, RPC https://mainnet.base.org). Both are free, non-custodial, and let you connect to Uniswap. Save your seed phrase offline — never share it.
How do I swap ETH for $SKI on Uniswap?+
Open app.uniswap.org, connect your wallet, switch the network to Base, paste the official $SKI contract (0x768BE13e1680b5ebE0024C42c896E3dB59ec0149) into the 'You receive' field, enter the ETH amount, and click Swap. If the swap fails, raise slippage to 1–3% and try again.
Why is my $SKI not showing in my wallet after the swap?+
The swap worked — the wallet just doesn't auto-display new tokens. Tap 'Import token', paste the $SKI contract address, and it will appear. Confirm by checking your wallet on basescan.org.
Is there a minimum amount to buy $SKI?+
No protocol minimum, but practical floor is about $5–$10 of ETH so the Uniswap fee doesn't eat your trade. Most exchanges require ~$2 minimum to buy ETH.
Can I buy $SKI with a credit card directly?+
Not directly — $SKI only trades on decentralised exchanges like Uniswap on Base. The fastest credit-card path: buy ETH with card on Coinbase or Binance, withdraw to Base, swap on Uniswap. Total time is ~5 minutes.
