Quoting…Your USDC is in a wallet with 0 ETH on Base?
Then that wallet cannot send its USDC on Base: gas there is paid in ETH on Base. Send from an exchange account instead, or choose USDT on Tron, BNB Smart Chain or Ethereum as the coin you send. The ETH arrives on Base, at your address.
How much ETH do I need?
Gas on Base changes with demand; your wallet shows the exact fee before you confirm.
Three steps

Enter your Base address
The address that holds your USDC. That is where the ETH goes.
- 2
Send the coin you have
Send it on the network shown on the deposit card.
- 3
ETH arrives
Once your deposit is confirmed, ETH is sent to your Base address, and your USDC can move.
Questions
Do I need an account?
No. You give the Base address the ETH should go to and send the coin you have; there is no account to open.
Is there a minimum?
Yes. The form shows the minimum for your route as soon as you choose the coins, before you send anything.
How long does it take?
The ETH is sent once your deposit is confirmed on its own network. The quote states a typical time where we know one.
I have ETH on Ethereum at the same address. Why can’t I pay?
Because each network keeps its own balance. The 0x address is the same, but ETH on Ethereum stays on Ethereum. Swap it to ETH on Base and it arrives where the gas is paid.
