## Protocol economics

Based has no complete calendar-quarter series on file yet, so no quarterly chart is drawn. DefiLlama does publish recent daily figures for it, and the last 30 and 90 days are shown below with their end date. Network activity is evidence about the protocol, not earnings owed to the token.

## Research score

Based is NOT RATED this week. No traded volume is reported on most of the last 30 days, so it has no liquidity reading.

No valuation band exists for any coin on this site: historical market capitalisation is not held, so no company-style valuation range can be built.

## Limitations

- Crypto network activity is not company earnings. Protocol revenue does not automatically accrue to token holders.
- Market capitalisation is a dated snapshot, not a point-in-time historical supply series, so yields computed against it inherit that lag.
- No valuation band exists for any coin: historical market capitalisation is not held at all.
- Funding rates, open interest, liquidations, exchange flows, unlock schedules and developer activity are not held and are not inferred.
- The research score is relative to this coin's own theme only. It is not comparable across themes and is not an entry signal.

## FAQs

### What is Based?

Based is a crypto token that CoinGecko lists under decentralized exchange (DEX), decentralized finance (DeFi) and derivatives. We place it in the DEX theme, with 38 coins. Its highest daily close since 3 April 2026 was $0.1647 on 16 April 2026; its lowest was $0.04385 on 14 October 2026.

### Is Based beating Bitcoin?

Over 90 days Based is 52.6 percentage points behind Bitcoin: its own return minus Bitcoin's. Its theme, DEX, is +0.6% against Bitcoin over 13 weeks. Based trades below its 200-day average as of 1 November 2026.

The highest daily close we hold for Based is $0.1647, on 16 April 2026, in records from 3 April 2026. The lowest is $0.04385, on 14 October 2026. The close on 1 November 2026, $0.05321, is 68% below that high.

### Does Based have a P/E ratio?

No. There is no company-style P/E or PEG for a crypto token, and no valuation band is shown on this page because the data to build one honestly does not exist: historical market capitalisation is not held, only a current snapshot. Where a protocol publishes fees or revenue, this page shows the yield against that dated snapshot instead.

### Why is Based not rated?

No traded volume is reported on most of the last 30 days, so it has no liquidity reading. It stays on the site with its price history visible, because a missing reading is not a middling reading and a made-up score would be worse than none.

### How much Based history does this page show?

Five years of weekly closes where they exist, plus 20 complete calendar quarters of on-chain activity for the metrics Based actually publishes. No complete quarterly series is on file for this token yet; DefiLlama's last 30 and 90 days are shown instead.

### How much did Based earn in the last 30 days?
