Recently, I found that wallet support for the Base ecosystem is really disappointing. It's almost 2025, and the adaptation is still so slow, with a terrible user experience.

Let's list the issues directly: Base trading pools are simply not supported, or are we being told indirectly that a major exchange has no intention of focusing on Base?

The most heartbreaking part is the trading slippage. A friend in the group wanted to buy a meme coin with a market cap of only 400K on Base yesterday, and when he checked the quote—95% slippage. What does that mean? Spending 100 bucks can only get 5 bucks worth of coins. This isn't trading; it's just cutting the leeks.

As the Web3 gateway, the wallet's slow adaptation to emerging ecosystems is truly disappointing. Base is already a very important Layer 2 in the Ethereum ecosystem, and user demand is right there. Hope the product team can step up and not let users all run elsewhere.

Sigh, a 95% slippage is really unbelievable. What kind of trading is this? It's just outright stealing money.

Oh my god, 95% slippage. This isn't trading, it's robbery. --- This is the treatment the Base ecosystem gets. Why not just switch to MetaMask? --- The underperformance is really bad, but this wave indeed reflects the ambitions of top wallets. --- Spending 100 to get 5 bucks, my friend also experienced this. It was really frustrating at the time. --- I've said it before, these big wallets don't take the new chain seriously at all. --- The trading pool doesn't support it, and you still want to keep users? Dream on. --- Don't wait any longer, guys. Switch wallets when you need to, don't waste time on this terrible experience.

95% slippage, this is not trading; it's a vivid lesson in the complete failure of the supply and demand curve. It's even more excessive than garbage assets that make Warren Buffett shake his head. The wallet team's speed perfectly exemplifies what "Schrödinger's Layer2 support" means—supporting and not supporting at the same time. Honestly, the current liquidity situation of Base, instead of blaming the wallet, should make you ask yourself whether you chose the wrong track. This is probably the price of the Web3 decentralization spirit—no one to vet for you, you have to navigate the pitfalls yourself. Top exchanges not putting effort into Base; what they fear is that this path might simply be unviable.

95% slippage? This isn't trading, this is robbery. Just rename it to the leek-cutting festival. The wallet is really collapsing. Base is so popular, yet they're still dithering. Users have already moved to other places. It's just that they don't want to put in effort for Base, otherwise how could it be so slow?

95% slippage? This isn't just cutting leek; it's outright robbing. I really can't understand the operational logic of these wallet teams. Base is already so popular, yet they're still dragging their feet. Unbelievable. Might as well switch to another wallet. My friend said he wants to play on Base, but I told him to stop messing around. The experience is so bad, it really discourages people. This is outrageous. Why do some projects love to treat the new ecosystem differently? But on the other hand, maybe there are some players behind the scenes pushing things down, those who understand, understand. The response speed of this wallet is so slow, no wonder some people are switching to other tools. They're shooting themselves in the foot. How can the future of Base be guaranteed when the user experience for newcomers is so poor? Anyway, I now try to avoid it as much as possible unless someone can solve this slippage problem. Instead of complaining, it's better to just use alternative solutions. There are plenty of options anyway. Honestly, I kind of regret putting effort into this wallet. It was a waste of time.
