Check that Sweep lists this exact token contract and offers a current route. A matching ticker alone is not enough.

Base: quick answer

  • Destination: Base mainnet, chain ID 8453.
  • GLMR is a token; ETH pays Base gas.
  • A published contract does not guarantee an available swap.
  • Use the exact contract only if it is listed by the current provider selector and a route is available.

Verify the current GLMR contract

Check current token and route support

In Sweep, select the exact network and token contract. Continue only if that asset is listed and the app returns a current route for your amount. This guide does not guarantee current token liquidity or support for every source asset.

Fund Base rather than the old parachain

Choose Base mainnet in the receiving wallet. Its chain ID is 8453 and its gas currency is ETH; buying GLMR does not itself create an ETH fee balance.

Review an available token swap

Search by the exact contract in a service that supports the token. Check received amount, liquidity, price impact and fees. If no current route is offered, do not substitute another GLMR-labelled asset or assume this guide validates a trading venue.

Moonbeam strategic update

Keep token ownership separate from protocol access

Moonbeam Protocol’s current documentation marks listings/onboarding as not open yet. Holding the Base token does not establish access to a live agent marketplace or a guaranteed return.
