WETH/MRBASE Pool on Base Loses All Liquidity After $54,098 Peak
A specific liquidity pool for the WETH/MRBASE pair on the Base blockchain has experienced a complete drain of its funds. The pool, which once held over $54,000 in value, now contains only $3, rendering it effectively unusable for standard trading activities.
A liquidity pool for the WETH/MRBASE pair on the Base network has transitioned from an active state to a dormant one. The pool, identified by contract address 0xa55359c8c769e0ecee96edeb4fec1cd2d2c01c22, previously supported significant trading volume before its funds were removed. This event occurred on June 12, 2026, marking a definitive end to its operational life.
The Scale of the Drop
The magnitude of this event is defined by the sheer difference between the pool's maximum capacity and its current state. At its peak, the pool held $54,098 in total liquidity. Following the incident, the available funds plummeted to $3. This represents a drawdown of 100% from the peak value. In practical terms, a 100% drawdown means the entire pool of funds was removed, leaving a balance that is negligible for any meaningful transaction.
Technical Status
The on-chain data reveals a pool with a health score of 20 out of 100. This low score reflects the absence of liquidity rather than a technical malfunction. The deployer wallet associated with the pool is 0xef5fbc34963f635e80263f2cb373f8e7fcc45a2f. While risk flags currently show as ok, the structural integrity of the pool is compromised because there is no capital left to facilitate swaps.
Implications for Traders
For users monitoring this specific pair, the immediate implication is the inability to execute trades. A pool with $3 in liquidity cannot support the slippage required for standard WETH or MRBASE transactions. Investors should treat this as a closed event and avoid attempting to interact with the contract, as any attempt to swap would likely result in failed transactions or extreme slippage. The event highlights the volatility of new pools on Layer 2 networks, where liquidity can vanish rapidly.
- The pool is now considered dead for trading purposes.
- Any future activity would require a complete relaunch of the contract.
- The total loss of funds indicates a drain rather than a gradual decline.
