# Pools 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 %}

BASIS pools are designed around how execution systems actually operate:

> Liquidity and yield are a trade-off.\
> The more predictable capital availability is, the more efficiently the system can deploy it for structural alpha capture.

BASIS offers two pool categories:

* Flexible pools: prioritize withdrawal flexibility
* Fixed pools: trade liquidity for higher capital efficiency and enhanced reward potential

## 1) Flexible pools: liquidity first

Characteristics:

* withdrawals can be requested at any time, subject to operational processing windows
* the system must maintain a liquidity buffer
* reward potential is structurally lower due to reserve requirements and lower deployment efficiency

Flexible pools fit users who value optionality over higher lock-up rewards.

## 2) Fixed pools: efficiency first

Characteristics:

* capital is committed for a defined period: 14, 30, 90, or 180 days
* the system can deploy a higher fraction of capital continuously
* the system can maintain longer-duration positioning with lower forced unwind risk
* reward sharing is increased through Booster multipliers

Fixed pools fit users who want higher reward efficiency and can commit to a defined horizon.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Fixed pools can only be unstaked after the full lock-up period ends. Early exit is not available.
{% endhint %}

## 3) Booster schedule

Fixed pools use the following Booster structure:

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

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

## 4) Shared foundation: capital preservation and state controls

Both pool categories share the same operating foundation:

* deterministic execution controls
* global risk state machine protections
* position unwind protocols
* math-constrained risk limits
* proprietary routing infrastructure designed for execution precision

This framework is built to support system resilience under changing market conditions.

{% hint style="info" %}
BHLE infrastructure characteristics include sub-50μs latency, 100K+ OPS throughput, and proprietary routing architecture designed for deterministic execution and structural alpha capture.
{% endhint %}

If the system enters a protective state, reward generation may pause temporarily. These controls exist to preserve capital continuity and operational integrity.

## 5) Wallet structure

BASIS separates assets into two wallets:

| Wallet         | Purpose                       | Asset Type    |
| -------------- | ----------------------------- | ------------- |
| Funding Wallet | Deposit and withdrawal        | Native tokens |
| Staking Wallet | Stake and reward accumulation | stTokens      |

Supported asset flows:

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

Swaps are same-token only and always 1:1.

## 6) Deposit and unstake mechanics

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="BTC" %}

* Deposit by copying your BASIS-assigned BTC address
* No Web3 wallet connection is required
* Minimum deposit: 0.0001 BTC
* After deposit, BTC can be swapped 1:1 into stBTC for staking
  {% endtab %}

{% tab title="ETH / SOL / PAXG" %}

* Deposit by connecting a supported Web3 wallet such as MetaMask
* Deposits are made in the native asset
* After deposit, the asset can be swapped 1:1 into the corresponding stToken for staking
  {% endtab %}
  {% endtabs %}

Unstaking rules:

* unstake is full-position only
* the system applies auto-MAX to the selected stake
* upon unstake, the claimable amount is automatically credited to the Staking Wallet as stToken after the 7-day buffer is complete

## 7) Fees and timing

| Action     |   Fee |
| ---------- | ----: |
| Deposit    |    0% |
| Withdrawal | 0.05% |
| Swap       | 0.01% |

Typical withdrawal times:

| Asset | Processing Time  |
| ----- | ---------------- |
| BTC   | 10 to 60 minutes |
| ETH   | 1 to 10 minutes  |
| SOL   | 1 to 10 minutes  |
| PAXG  | 1 to 10 minutes  |

## 8) Choosing a pool

Ask yourself:

1. Do I need immediate access to my principal?
2. Can I commit funds for 14, 30, 90, or 180 days?
3. Do I understand that adding stake may affect reward configuration and timing?
4. Have I reviewed the risk disclosure and understand that USDT is used only as an internal display unit?

## 9) Navigation
