5 Tools for Trading Tokens on Base

Five must-try tools for trading tokens on Base, from social explorers to AI-powered platforms.

Apr 15, 2025 • 3 min read

Base is a hotbed for token trading. If you want to get ahead here, good resources will go a long way.

Fortunately, there's a growing stable of trading hub platforms atop Base that simplify the discovery, swapping, and portfolio management processes.

If you're looking to dive deeper into the Base scene this year, you'll want to try some of these tools. Here are five of my favorites that are worth adding to your rotation! 👇

📱 Interface

Interface is an onchain social explorer for the Ethereum ecosystem.

You can check out its web app or download its Apple or Android mobile apps.

The platform makes it easy to import your social graphs from Farcaster or Lens so you can boot up your profile quickly. Over time you can see what the people you follow are swapping and minting. Interface is a great way to discover new Base tokens as they start getting early trading traction. The project also offers copy trading, where you get a cut of the fees for anyone who finds and copies your trades on the platform.

📊 Terminal

Terminal is a token discovery and trading platform on Base and Solana that offers a slick UX.

For starters, you can search through coins using categories like "Trending," "Top Clankers," and "Smart Picks." You can also set up your own watchlist and "Quick Buy" presets so you can streamline your trades.

What's also interesting is that the team recently released Private Terminal, a personal AI agent system that you can use to trade, cast, and beyond just by writing out your wishes to your agent.

🤖 Clank.fun

Clanker is the AI-powered token launcher that has taken the Base and Farcaster ecosystems by storm. Clank.fun is a platform built around Clanker that offers you a bird's-eye view of the action.

Accordingly, this project lets you find and trade new or trending Clanker tokens with ease, and if you hold at least 1 million $clankfun (~$6 at current prices), then you can launch your own Clanker tokens for free on the app.

☑️ Checkr

Checkr is a newer token and attention analysis platform that plugs into Farcaster data to see which projects are driving the most engagement and mindshare on Base.

What sets this platform apart is how it lets you dig into casting activity, like seeing who the most influential posters around a coin were and when, their holdings and trades, etc.

Checkr also offers a helpful Social RSI metric, which measures a token's momentum. If you click into a token here and see that its RSI is above 50, its hype is currently trending.

🐬 Flipp

Flipp is a new trading app by the Surreal team that's now available for Apple and Android devices, with a web app on the way.

You log-in with your email via Privy, deposit funds to your embedded wallet, and then you're ready to dive in.

It's a fun and streamlined UI, and it makes it easy to search through trending tokens and top gainers, launch your own coins, manage your portfolio, and earn flipp rewards (which will be retroactively distributed later).
