What is the Base network?#

Base is an EVM-compatible layer 2 rollup that settles to Ethereum. It is a separate network from Centurion, and CenturionDEX does not operate on Base.

How Base works#

As a rollup, Base executes transactions in its own layer 2 environment and publishes information needed for settlement and verification to Ethereum. Users interact with layer 2 contracts and pay that network's fees under its own rules.

Its EVM compatibility allows many wallets and development tools to work in familiar ways. However, Base has its own chain state, contract deployments, sequencer infrastructure, bridges, balances, and transaction finality model.

Centurion is different: it is a Proof-of-Stake layer 1 with the CVM, native CTN, Newton fee accounting, and chain ID 286.

What this means for CenturionDEX#

Centurion Protocol v2 and v3 contracts run on Centurion. A token with the same symbol on Base does not automatically exist on Centurion, and a pool on Base is not part of CenturionDEX.

Before using CenturionDEX:

  1. Switch your wallet to Centurion mainnet.
  2. Confirm chain ID 286.
  3. Keep native CTN for Newton costs.
  4. Verify each token's Centurion contract address.
  5. Review the CenturionDEX route and wallet request.

Bridges and representations#

Moving an asset from Base to another network requires an explicit cross-network process. A bridge may lock or burn an asset on one side and release or mint a representation on the other. That introduces bridge-contract, operator, liquidity, and token-issuer risk.

Do not send Base assets directly to a Centurion address expecting them to appear on Centurion. The visible address may be identical, but the transaction remains on Base.

Common issues#

  • The wallet shows the same address but no Centurion balance: switch networks; state is separate.
  • A token is available on Base but absent from CenturionDEX: no verified Centurion deployment or pool may exist.
  • A search result offers a “CenturionDEX Base app”: treat it as unverified and use official Centurion sources.
  • A bridged token has a familiar name: verify the bridge, issuer, and contract on the destination network.
  • A transaction was sent on Base by mistake: recovery depends on who controls the destination and cannot be performed by CenturionDEX.

Stay safe#

Verify every network-add or bridge request. Review approvals and signatures, and never share a recovery phrase, private key, or password with someone offering cross-network support.
