{% 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 %}

This page explains how to deposit supported assets into BASIS.

Deposits are made in native assets only:

* BTC
* ETH
* SOL
* PAXG

After deposit, assets are held in your Funding Wallet. Staking uses the corresponding stToken format:

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

{% hint style="warning" %}
Swap on BASIS is same-token only at a 1:1 asset mapping:

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

BASIS does not support cross-asset conversion during deposit.

## Important safety rules

{% hint style="danger" %}
Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Always verify asset type, network, and destination details before sending.
{% endhint %}

### 1. Use the correct network

Send each asset only on its supported network.

* BTC → Bitcoin Mainnet
* ETH → Ethereum Mainnet
* SOL → Solana Mainnet
* PAXG → Ethereum Mainnet

Sending assets through an incompatible network can result in permanent loss.

### 2. Follow the correct deposit method

* BTC uses a BASIS-assigned address
* ETH, SOL, and PAXG use Web3 wallet connection

Do not use a BTC address flow for ETH, SOL, or PAXG.

### 3. Start with a test transaction if needed

If this is your first deposit, a small test transaction is recommended.

### 4. Confirm wallet destination carefully

Copy and paste addresses where applicable. Do not enter addresses manually.

### 5. Do not send USDT

USDT is used only as an internal accounting and display unit. It is not supported for deposit or withdrawal.

## What happens after deposit

After your asset reaches the Funding Wallet, you may perform a same-token swap into the staking asset:

| Native Asset | Staking Asset |
| ------------ | ------------- |
| BTC          | stBTC         |
| ETH          | stETH         |
| SOL          | stSOL         |
| PAXG         | stPAXG        |

Swap is 1:1 within the same asset pair, subject to the 0.01% swap fee.

Example:

{% hint style="info" %}
**BTC Deposit Flow**

1. BTC is credited to your Funding Wallet
2. Swap BTC → stBTC at 1:1 (0.01% swap fee applies)
3. stBTC appears in your Staking Wallet
4. Stake stBTC to begin reward accumulation
   {% endhint %}
