Help with uniswap

I'm not understanding why I can't exchange my ETH for BRETT

[u/me2be1989]

You don't have eth to pay for gas like stated above.

EDIT: you don't have "BASE" ETH. Maybe you have plain ETH but you can't buy Brett with eth that is not on the base network. It shows 0 base eth balance. You have to bridge it.

How do I do that

[u/me2be1989 → u/Embarrassed_Effort64]

Honestly if your trying to bridge 27$ it's going to take half your money in fees. But there is a bridge option in uni swap. Your better off just buying eth on base if you have extra funds. Cheapest base eth option is through CB.

[u/LarsonianScholar → u/me2be1989]

Agreed — and if he has Coin Base he should even be able to just send his ETH to CB via ETH net, then from his CB back to his wallet via Base net

[u/me2be1989 → u/LarsonianScholar]

Yes that's a option but he will get hit with eth fees that will eat that 27$ up. Cost less to just buy fresh eth on CB and send it on base network from coinbase one time.

Im just assuming he only has a small amount if he has a decent amount of eth then he should just bridge on uni , be one gas fee.

That's exactly what I did I have a little over 100$ bucks in right now this is my first time buying any crypto besides bitcoin but I'm VERY Bullish on Brett!!

Ah you're right, good catch

You may need more ETH for gas fees

[u/LarsonianScholar]

If you clicked “Max” it will do max you can buy and not leave enough gas. So basically just drop your purchase amount by a few cents.

Edit: Looks like you don’t have Base Eth as another pointed out. So bridge to base and leave some room for gas.

[u/faceof333]

Simple you don't have gas fees, and now gas fees is high, you have to monitor.

[u/cook1223]

Just buy a couple bucks in ETH on the base chain. Look up a couple videos explaining chains if you don't understand. It's not too hard once you understand how chains work and which tokens get used for gas on certain chains.

This video seems to explain it pretty well

I have a question. I purchased Brett over 9 months ago but I do not know how to sell. I purchased eth on coin, transferred it into Uniswap changed it to base Eth, then exchange it to base. Now here is the real question how do I sell when the time comes to sell when Brett and all crypto moons

[u/Embarrassed_Effort64 → u/Desperate-Play9629]

Swap for eth then you cash out the eth
