Base buy alerts need route-specific setup

Base is the main place where a token team can run into several pool types at once. A launch might begin on Uniswap v4, move volume through Aerodrome, pick up a PancakeSwap or SushiSwap pair, or use a known Curve or Balancer pool. A single generic "watch my token" setup is not always enough.

To add baes scan to a Telegram group, invite @BAESBuyBot, give it permission to post, and run the setup command from the group or alert topic.

baes scan is free to try for Base buy alerts. The main instruction is simple: add @BAESBuyBot, run /watch and follow the chain/token buttons, then confirm the saved pool with /pools. Power users can still use /watch with the exact block where the token was first minted, or a block very close to it.

That first-mint block detail is important enough to repeat. Do not pick a random old block just because it is convenient. If the token was first minted at block 123, use 123 or a nearby block. The closer the block is to the actual first mint, the clearer the setup path is for newly launched pools.

Start with watch

For a broad Base setup:

/watch
/watch base 0xToken any <firstMintBlock> all

For Uniswap v4:

/watch base 0xToken any <firstMintBlock> uniswap v4 all

For Clanker-style v4 launches:

/watch base 0xToken any <firstMintBlock> uniswap v4 clanker

For Aerodrome:

/watch base 0xToken any <firstMintBlock> aerodrome all

After running the command, check what the group saved:

/pools

If the saved pool is not the market you want, remove it and add the exact pool with /pool. For launch teams, the best promise is not "we watch everything." It is "we watch the pool your community actually trades."

Base route guides

Use the specific Base route when you know the pool:

Those route guides give the exact command shape, so you do not have to guess from a broad token address.

Add a known pool

If you already know the pool, use direct entry:

/pool
/pool base 0xPoolAddress 0xTargetToken

For a known Uniswap v4 pool ID:

/pool base 0xV4PoolId 0xTargetToken <firstMintBlock>

Direct pool entry is especially useful for Curve, Balancer, and any launch where the team already has the pool link.

For Telegram groups with topics, open the topic where alerts should land and run:

/topic here

Then use /settings to set minimum buy size, media, text, and emoji. A clean alert feed is easier to trust than a noisy one.

Need a different chain?

If your chain or DEX is not listed, that does not mean baes scan cannot support it. Message @mrtdlgc on Twitter/X or Telegram with the chain, DEX, token address, first-mint block, pool address if available, and the Telegram group where alerts should post.

Summary

For Base, use /watch first with the token's first-mint block. Use the matching Base route when you know the DEX, and use /pool when you know the exact market. baes scan is free to try, so the fastest answer is usually to add it and confirm the saved pool.
