Deposits

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

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

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

Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Always verify asset type, network, and destination details before sending.

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:

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
