Base gas top-up (ETH on Base)
Base is an Ethereum layer-2 network and pays fees in ETH held on Base. ETH on Ethereum mainnet does not pay Base fees, so a Base wallet needs its own balance. Nuyis Gas sends ETH on Base to your address.

ETH gas questions people ask
I have ETH on Ethereum - why can't I transact on Base?
Balances are per network. Base fees are paid with ETH that is on Base, so that network needs its own small balance.
How do I know I selected Base?
Base and Ethereum share the same address format, so Nuyis Gas asks you which network to use before you pay.
Are Base fees cheap?
Base fees are usually a fraction of Ethereum mainnet fees, so a small top-up goes a long way.
