# Fee Structure Overview

{% 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 %}

Fees should be explicit and predictable. This page lists every fee that may apply on BASIS and when it applies.

***

## 1. Core Principle: Transparent Fees

BASIS uses a simple fee model with no hidden line items.

* No management fee
* No deposit fee
* Fixed withdrawal fee
* Fixed swap fee for same-token conversion
* 20% performance fee on net yield, deducted before reward distribution

This structure supports deterministic execution, transparent accounting, and clear user expectations.

## 2. Fee Schedule

| Fee Type        | Rate              | Description                                                                                                                                                                     |
| --------------- | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Management Fee  | 0%                | No annual or recurring management fee is charged on deposited or staked assets.                                                                                                 |
| Deposit Fee     | 0%                | No fee is charged when depositing supported native assets into the Funding Wallet.                                                                                              |
| Withdrawal Fee  | 0.05%             | A fixed withdrawal fee applies when native assets are withdrawn from the Funding Wallet.                                                                                        |
| Swap Fee        | 0.01%             | A fixed fee applies when converting native tokens to their corresponding staking tokens on a 1:1 same-token basis.                                                              |
| Performance Fee | 20% of net profit | Deducted before reward distribution to staking positions. Users receive 80% of net yield. See [Performance Fee Mechanics](/economics-and-rewards/performance-fee-mechanics.md). |

## 3. Supported Asset Flow

BASIS supports native asset deposits only.

| Asset | Deposit Method                               | Swap Path     | Withdrawal Method                 |
| ----- | -------------------------------------------- | ------------- | --------------------------------- |
| BTC   | Copy your BASIS-assigned BTC deposit address | BTC → stBTC   | Withdraw BTC from Funding Wallet  |
| ETH   | Connect Web3 wallet                          | ETH → stETH   | Withdraw ETH from Funding Wallet  |
| SOL   | Connect Web3 wallet                          | SOL → stSOL   | Withdraw SOL from Funding Wallet  |
| PAXG  | Connect Web3 wallet                          | PAXG → stPAXG | Withdraw PAXG from Funding Wallet |

{% hint style="warning" %}
USDT is used only as an internal accounting and display unit. It cannot be deposited, swapped in from outside, or withdrawn.
{% endhint %}

## 4. How Fees Apply in Practice

### Deposits

* Deposit fee: 0%
* No minimum deposit
* BTC deposits use a unique BASIS-assigned address for each account
* ETH, SOL, and PAXG deposits require a connected Web3 wallet such as MetaMask or a compatible wallet

### Swaps

Swaps on BASIS are limited to same-token 1:1 conversions only:

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

A 0.01% swap fee applies to each conversion.

{% hint style="info" %}
BASIS does not support cross-asset swaps such as BTC → stETH or ETH → stSOL.
{% endhint %}

### Withdrawals

A 0.05% withdrawal fee applies when withdrawing native assets from the Funding Wallet.

Typical processing times:

* BTC: 10 to 60 minutes
* ETH / SOL / PAXG: 1 to 10 minutes

## 5. Wallet Separation

BASIS separates operational balances into two wallet views:

| Wallet         | Holds                                 | Primary Use                                        |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Funding Wallet | Native tokens: BTC, ETH, SOL, PAXG    | Deposit, withdraw, and prepare assets for swap     |
| Staking Wallet | stTokens: stBTC, stETH, stSOL, stPAXG | Stake, monitor rewards, and hold unstaked balances |

Rewards accumulate in real time as the same stToken in the Staking Wallet.

## 6. Staking and Unstaking Notes

### Booster schedule

| Lock Period | Booster    |
| ----------- | ---------- |
| 14D         | +10%       |
| 30D         | +20%       |
| 90D         | +50%       |
| 180D        | +100% (2×) |

### Unstaking rules

* Fixed pools can only be unstaked after the lock-up period ends
* No early exit option is available for fixed pools
* Unstake is processed as auto-MAX, meaning the full staked position is unstaked
* Upon unstake, the claimable amount is automatically credited to the Staking Wallet as the corresponding stToken after the mandatory 7-day unstaking buffer

## 7. Operational Design

BASIS is designed around deterministic execution, mathematical constraints, and state-machine risk controls.

Core infrastructure characteristics include:

* Seychelles IBC operating structure
* Research support from Base58 Labs
* Structural alpha capture through execution precision
* BHLE architecture with sub-50μs latency
* 100K+ OPS routing capacity
* Proprietary routing infrastructure for deterministic execution quality

These controls support transparent fee treatment and reduce ambiguity in user accounting.
