Base moved about $1.0 million through NEAR Intents on August 28, according to NearStats. That was below the $1.4 million recorded on August 27 and far below the $3.8 million peak in the recent 14-day window on August 24.

This is a useful example of why one-day bridge or intent volume should not be treated as a simple growth chart. NEAR Intents measures settled cross-chain flow, not every transaction happening inside Base. It therefore tells us something different from DEX volume or total transactions.

On August 28, the flow into and out of Base was roughly balanced: about $585,800 inbound and $450,100 outbound. That suggests the network was not experiencing a one-sided liquidity rush through this route. It also shows that Base is using intent-based infrastructure as one of several cross-chain entry and exit paths.

NearStats reports the figures directly in its Base NEAR Intents dashboard.

The most interesting comparison is with the recent $3.8 million daily peak. A fall from that level does not automatically mean Base is losing demand. It can simply mean capital is using another bridge or settlement route.

That is why cross-chain flow should be read as a route-level metric, not as a complete measure of Base adoption.
