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 | | Withdrawal Fee | 0.05% | A fixed withdrawal fee applies when native assets are withdrawn from the Funding Wallet.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 It cannot be deposited, swapped in from outside, or withdrawn.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. ## 8.
