Choose a Quote Asset

ETH vs ERC20 (e.g., B3) as the quote asset during bonding.

Overview

BondKit supports bonding against ETH or an allowed ERC20 (e.g., B3). Your choice impacts UX, integrations, and liquidity at migration.

When to use ETH

  • Broad accessibility; most users hold ETH on Base
  • Simpler UX (no prior approvals)
  • Direct ETH liquidity at migration

When to use an ERC20 (e.g., B3)

  • Aligns with an existing token economy
  • Can bootstrap deeper token‑token pairs at migration
  • Requires approvals before buys/sells

Operational differences

  • 5% fee on buys and sells for both ETH and ERC20
  • ERC20 flows require approve before curve interactions
  • Migration pairs are created against WETH or the chosen ERC20
Note

Confirm the allowed‑list for ERC20 quote assets with the team. By default only specific assets may be enabled.
