Claiming Rewards

Operator and jurisdiction: BASIS is operated by BASIS DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD, a Seychelles IBC (LEI: 254900IX2F2KCWNSSS64).

BASIS treats these as separate concepts:

1. Accrual: rewards accumulate in real time while your position is active

2. Claim: move accrued rewards into your Staking Wallet balance at any time, subject to the per-asset minimum claim thresholds

3. Auto Earn: unclaimed rewards meeting the minimum claim threshold are automatically restaked every Monday at 00:00 UTC into the existing position, without resetting the lock-up term

4. Unstake: after the lock-up period ends, you may initiate release of your full staked position, subject to the mandatory 7-day unstaking buffer

5. Credit to wallet: claimable value is automatically credited to your Staking Wallet as the same stToken after the 7-day unstaking buffer is complete

1) Why BASIS uses explicit reward realization events

Reward realization matters because it:

• creates a discrete accounting event

• creates auditable timestamps

• supports deterministic state transitions in the staking system

• enables contribution-based reward system calculations where applicable

Rewards accumulate in real time as the same stToken. You can claim them manually at any time, and any unclaimed balance meeting the minimum claim threshold is automatically restaked every Monday at 00:00 UTC.

2) How reward realization works

Manual claim

• Rewards accrue continuously while the position is locked

• You may claim accrued rewards at any time, subject to the per-asset minimum claim thresholds in Minimum Staking & Reward Claim Policy

• Claiming rewards moves them into your Staking Wallet balance. It does not unstake or redeem your principal position

Auto Earn

• Every Monday at 00:00 UTC, unclaimed rewards meeting the minimum claim threshold are automatically restaked into the existing position

• The lock-up term and the booster schedule are not reset

• Auto Earn is enabled by default and can be turned off or back on in account settings, applying from the next weekly sweep

• See Auto Earn for the full mechanics

Fixed pool behavior

• Early exit is not available

• Unstake is only available after the lock-up period ends

• All unstaking actions are subject to a mandatory 7-day unstaking buffer

• Unstake is processed as full position only

• The entire claimable amount is auto-credited to your Staking Wallet as stToken after the mandatory 7-day unstaking buffer

4) Claim vs withdraw vs swap

These actions are different and should not be confused.

Action	What it does	Wallet
Accrual	Rewards accumulate in real time	Staking position
Claim	Moves accrued rewards into your available balance, subject to minimum claim thresholds	Staking Wallet
Auto Earn	Automatically restakes unclaimed rewards into the existing position every Monday 00:00 UTC, without resetting the lock-up term	Staking position
Unstake	Releases the full staked position after lock-up ends, subject to a mandatory 7-day unstaking buffer before credit	Staking Wallet
Swap	Converts stToken to the same native token at 1:1	Staking Wallet / Funding Wallet flow
Withdraw	Sends native token out of BASIS	Funding Wallet

Important rules

• Rewards are earned as stToken, not native token

• Swaps are same-token only at 1:1

• Supported swap pairs are:

  • BTC → stBTC

  • ETH → stETH

  • SOL → stSOL

  • PAXG → stPAXG

BTC

• Deposit BTC by copying your BASIS-assigned BTC address

• No Web3 wallet connection is required for BTC deposits

• Minimum deposit: none

• After the mandatory 7-day unstaking buffer, stBTC can be swapped 1:1 to BTC

• BTC withdrawals from the Funding Wallet typically complete in 10 to 60 minutes

ETH / SOL / PAXG

• Deposit by connecting a supported Web3 wallet such as MetaMask

• After the mandatory 7-day unstaking buffer, stETH, stSOL, or stPAXG can be swapped 1:1 to the corresponding native asset

• ETH, SOL, and PAXG withdrawals from the Funding Wallet typically complete in 1 to 10 minutes

Note: Unstaking from fixed pools requires an additional 7-day buffer before these withdrawal times apply.

5) Funding Wallet and Staking Wallet

BASIS uses a two-wallet model:

Wallet	Purpose	Asset Type
Funding Wallet	Deposit and withdraw	Native tokens: BTC, ETH, SOL, PAXG
Staking Wallet	Hold staked asset balances and rewards	stBTC, stETH, stSOL, stPAXG

You cannot withdraw stTokens directly. To exit the platform, first unstake if applicable and wait for the mandatory 7-day unstaking buffer to complete, then swap the stToken 1:1 into its corresponding native token, then withdraw from the Funding Wallet.

6) Fees

Action	Fee
Deposit	0%
Withdrawal	0.05%
Swap	0.01%

7) Booster reminder

If your position used a Booster, the applicable multiplier remains part of the position economics during the selected lock period.

Booster	Reward Boost
14D	+10%
30D	+20%
90D	+50%
180D	+100% (2×)

8) Contribution-aligned referral network logic

Referral network distributions do not activate simply from sign-up.

They are evaluated based on qualifying user actions and system state transitions, including realized reward events where applicable.

If you participate in the referral network, review the relevant reward flow documentation carefully before estimating downstream distribution outcomes.

BASIS is designed around deterministic execution, mathematical constraints, and state-machine risk controls. This ensures reward realization, wallet crediting, swap handling, and withdrawal processing remain transparent and auditable.
