Fee Structure Overview
Operator and jurisdiction: BASIS is operated by BASIS DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD, a Seychelles IBC (LEI: 254900IX2F2KCWNSSS64).
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
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A fixed withdrawal fee applies when native assets are withdrawn from the Funding Wallet.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.
3. Supported Asset Flow

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.
BASIS does not support cross-asset swaps such as BTC → stETH or ETH → stSOL.
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:
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.

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.
