# Booster System

{% hint style="info" %}
Operator and jurisdiction: BASIS is operated by BASIS DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD, a Seychelles IBC (LEI: [254900IX2F2KCWNSSS64](https://lei.bloomberg.com/leis/view/254900IX2F2KCWNSSS64)).
{% endhint %}

Boosters on BASIS are not presented as a marketing device. They are part of the platform’s staking economics policy and are tied to lock-up commitments.

## 1) Definition: booster as yield-share adjustment

A booster is a multiplier applied to the yield accrued by a staked position. BASIS links that multiplier to the capital quality contributed by the user, primarily through lock-up duration.

A simplified decomposition:

* Gross Yield = realized strategy returns
* Costs = fees + slippage + hedging cost + operational overhead
* Net Yield = Gross Yield − Costs

A boosted distribution changes how net yield is allocated between:

* users
* the operator

Boosters are intended to reflect actual capital-efficiency gains. They are not designed to depend on hidden fees or undisclosed risk transfers.

## 2) Active booster schedule

BASIS applies fixed time-based boosters. The interface displays the booster as a percentage addition to the base staking rate.

| Lock-up  | UI display | Multiplier | Meaning                        |
| -------- | ---------- | ---------- | ------------------------------ |
| Flexible | +0%        | 1.0x       | Base rate, no adjustment       |
| 14 days  | +10%       | 1.1x       | Yield increased by 10% of base |
| 30 days  | +20%       | 1.2x       | Yield increased by 20% of base |
| 90 days  | +50%       | 1.5x       | Yield increased by 50% of base |
| 180 days | +100%      | 2.0x       | Yield doubled                  |

{% hint style="success" %}
Active booster schedule:

* 14D: +10%
* 30D: +20%
* 90D: +50%
* 180D: +100% (2×)
  {% endhint %}

Interpretation:

* boosters are multipliers applied to calculated yield
* boosters do not guarantee returns
* realized yield depends on strategy performance, market conditions, and execution precision

## 3) Why longer lock-ups can receive higher multipliers

Longer lock-ups can support better capital deployment because they:

* allow higher continuity of allocation
* reduce forced repositioning from withdrawal activity
* enable longer-horizon strategy participation
* improve planning around deterministic execution and state-machine-based risk controls

This is why longer lock-ups may receive larger efficiency-based yield adjustments.

## 4) How boosters work operationally

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Stake stToken from the Staking Wallet

Users stake stBTC, stETH, stSOL, or stPAXG from the Staking Wallet. Rewards accumulate in real time in the same stToken.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Select the lock-up period

Available options include Flexible, 14D, 30D, 90D, and 180D.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Booster is applied to the position

The selected booster modifies the yield calculation for that staked position.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Unstake at maturity for fixed pools

Fixed pools can only be unstaked after the lock-up period ends. Early exit is not available.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Receive the unstaked amount

Upon unstake, the full position is processed on an auto-MAX basis. The claimable amount is automatically credited to the Staking Wallet as the same stToken.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## 5) Important constraints

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Position scope" %}
Boosters apply to the staked position associated with the selected lock-up configuration.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Rewards format" %}
Rewards accumulate in real time as the same stToken in the Staking Wallet.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Unstake behavior" %}
Unstaking is full-position only. Partial unstake is not supported.
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Fixed pools" %}
For fixed pools, unstake is available only after the lock-up period ends.
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

## 6) Booster disclosures required

A credible booster framework should clearly disclose:

* whether the booster applies only to yield accrual or also affects other calculations
* whether the booster applies prospectively from the moment of staking
* how boosted yield is displayed in the interface
* how lock-up constraints affect unstake timing
* how the system behaves under risk-control states and execution safeguards

## 7) Related platform context

BASIS is built around deterministic execution, mathematical constraints, and state machine risk controls. The underlying BHLE infrastructure is designed for sub-50μs latency, 100K+ OPS throughput, and proprietary routing to support structural alpha capture with controlled execution behavior.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Wallet model reminder:

* Funding Wallet: native tokens only for deposit and withdrawal
* Staking Wallet: stTokens only for staking and reward accrual

Supported swap pairs are same-token only at 1:1:

* BTC → stBTC
* ETH → stETH
* SOL → stSOL
* PAXG → stPAXG
