Deposit ETH

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

This guide explains how to deposit Ethereum (ETH) into BASIS.

1. Overview

ETH deposits are made by connecting a Web3 wallet such as MetaMask and sending ETH on Ethereum Mainnet.

After your deposit is credited to your Funding Wallet, you may swap ETH to stETH at a 1:1 ratio, less the swap fee. Staking rewards accumulate in real time as stETH in your Staking Wallet.

ETH deposits do not convert to USDT.

USDT is used only as an internal accounting and display unit. It is not depositable or withdrawable.

ETH can only be swapped to stETH on a same-token 1:1 basis.

2. Before you start

[!INFO] Wallet structure on BASIS:

• Funding Wallet: holds native tokens for deposit and withdrawal

• Staking Wallet: holds stTokens for staking and reward accrual

Asset	Deposit Method	Wallet Required
ETH	Connect Web3 wallet	MetaMask or compatible wallet

3. Step-by-step

Step 1: Go to Assets

Log in to BASIS and open the Assets section from the dashboard.

Step 2: Select ETH

Choose ETH as the asset you want to deposit.

Step 3: Connect your wallet

Connect your Web3 wallet, such as MetaMask, and confirm that you are using Ethereum Mainnet.

Only Ethereum Mainnet is supported for ETH deposits.

Do not send ETH using Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain, or other networks.

Step 4: Approve and send ETH

Enter the amount of ETH you want to deposit and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

The ETH will be credited to your Funding Wallet after network confirmation.

Step 5: Wait for confirmation

ETH deposits are typically credited within 1 to 10 minutes, depending on network conditions.

Network	Typical Credit Time
Ethereum Mainnet	1 to 10 minutes

Step 6: Swap ETH to stETH

Once your ETH appears in the Funding Wallet, you can swap ETH to stETH.

Swap rules:

• ETH → stETH only

• 1:1 same-token swap

• Swap fee: 0.01%

Step 7: Stake stETH

After the swap, your stETH appears in the Staking Wallet. Open the Stake section to stake your stETH.

Available booster options:

Booster	Reward Multiplier
14D	+10%
30D	+20%
90D	+50%
180D	+100%

Fixed pools can only be unstaked after the selected lock-up period ends.

Early exit is not available.

4. Fees

Fee Type	Amount
Deposit Fee	0%
Withdrawal Fee	0.05%
Swap Fee	0.01%

[!INFO] Ethereum gas fees are paid from your external wallet and are separate from BASIS platform fees.

5. Reward and unstake behavior

• Rewards accumulate in real time as stETH

• Rewards appear in the Staking Wallet

• Unstake is processed as full-position only

• The claimable amount is auto-credited to the Staking Wallet as stETH upon unstake

6. Troubleshooting

Deposit not showing

• Confirm you used Ethereum Mainnet

• Check the wallet transaction status

• Allow up to 6 minutes for crediting under normal conditions

Wrong network used

If ETH was sent through an unsupported network, recovery may not be possible.

Wrong address or incorrect transaction

Blockchain transactions are irreversible. Always verify the transaction details before confirming.
