Base transaction lookup
Look up any Base transaction on BaseScan. tx.taxi detects the format, picks the right Base explorer, and redirects.
Base is an Ethereum L2 built on the OP Stack and uses the same EVM address and hash formats. tx.taxi's configured primary Base explorer is BaseScan, run by the Etherscan team for Base mainnet, with contract verification, token transfers, and L2 transaction receipts. Paste a Base address, transaction hash, block hash, or block number at tx.taxi/{value} and the router classifies the value and 302-redirects to /address/, /tx/, or /block/ on BaseScan. Because Base shares the EVM format with Ethereum, the same string can be valid on both chains, so picking the right destination matters. On this page: Base transaction lookups specifically.
How it works
- Copy your
Base transaction(e.g. the transaction hash from your wallet). - Paste into the search above or visit
tx.taxi/<your-transaction>directly. - tx.taxi detects the Base format and redirects to BaseScan.

Frequently asked questions
What does a Base address look like?
Base addresses follow the EVM format: '0x' followed by 40 hex characters. The same string can be valid on Ethereum, Optimism, and other EVM chains, so chain context matters when looking it up.
Is Base an Ethereum sidechain or a rollup?
Base is an optimistic rollup built on the OP Stack. It posts data and proofs to Ethereum mainnet, and BaseScan exposes both L2 activity and the L1 batch transactions.
How is BaseScan related to Etherscan?
BaseScan is operated by the Etherscan team specifically for Base. It uses the same interface conventions, which makes it familiar if you already know Etherscan.
