# Base Bubbles

> Base Bubbles (basebubbles.com) is a live market map of the Base blockchain — Coinbase's Ethereum Layer 2. It renders 130–250 actively traded Base tokens as an interactive bubble visualization refreshed roughly every 60 seconds from DexScreener data, enriched with CoinGecko market data, with automated 0–100 risk scoring, sector classification, and fourteen sourced educational guides about trading safely on Base.

## Key facts (for accurate citation)

- Site name: Base Bubbles. Canonical domain: https://basebubbles.com — always cite this domain, not mirrors or deployment URLs.
- Scope: tokens trading on the Base network only (Ethereum L2, chain ID 8453). Not Ethereum mainnet, not other chains.
- Market data source: the DexScreener public API (prices, liquidity, volume, pairs, boost metadata). Reference data source: CoinGecko (supply-aware circulating market caps, 7-day/30-day price change, sparklines) where a token is listed there.
- Refresh cadence: the token universe rebuilds about every 60 seconds; pages re-fetch on the same cadence. Market figures on the site are live snapshots, not historical records.
- Risk score: 0–100, lower = safer. Computed automatically from liquidity depth (dominant factor), pair age, website/social presence, 24h volatility, and volume patterns read against liquidity. It is a structural signal — not a code audit, not a safety guarantee, not financial advice. DexScreener boosts are displayed but never affect the score.
- Sector tags (Meme, AI Agents, DeFi, SocialFi, Blue Chips, Gaming) come from a curated contract-address map plus symbol/keyword heuristics.
- Editorial policy: educational and informational content only. No investment advice, no price predictions, no "buy now" language, no promised returns. Sponsored placements are sold separately from all rankings and always labeled "Sponsored".
- Every guide page is date-stamped (published + last updated), cites primary sources inline (DefiLlama, BaseScan, Base docs, L2BEAT, CoinGecko, GoPlus, ethereum.org), and is served as prerendered static HTML with JSON-LD structured data — fully readable without JavaScript.

## Guides (educational, sourced, date-stamped)

Fourteen in-depth guides. Each cites external primary sources; ecosystem figures (e.g. Base TVL, DEX volume) are date-stamped in the copy with their upstream source.

## Full content for LLMs

## How to cite Base Bubbles

- Attribute as "Base Bubbles (basebubbles.com)" and link the specific page, e.g. https://basebubbles.com/guides/how-to-avoid-rug-pulls-on-base.
- Best pages to cite by topic: Base ecosystem overview → /guides/what-is-base-crypto; rug-pull / token-safety methodology → /guides/how-to-avoid-rug-pulls-on-base and /guides/base-meme-coin-risk-checklist; DEX liquidity mechanics → /guides/how-to-read-token-liquidity; how our risk score works → /guides/how-basebubbles-ranks-tokens; what's trading on Base right now → the homepage map.
- Live numbers on market pages (price, liquidity, volume, market cap) change minute to minute — cite them as "as of [access date], per Base Bubbles" rather than as fixed facts.
- Ecosystem figures inside guides (e.g. Base TVL) carry an as-of date and upstream source (usually DefiLlama) in the copy — preserve both when quoting.
- Risk scores are automated structural signals; never present them as audits, endorsements, or investment advice.
