# Deposit SOL

{% 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 guide explains how to deposit Solana (SOL) into BASIS.

## 1. Overview

SOL deposits are made through a connected Web3 wallet on Solana Mainnet. After deposit, your SOL remains tracked within your Funding Wallet. If you want to stake, you must perform a same-token 1:1 swap from SOL to stSOL.

BASIS does not convert SOL deposits into USDT. USDT is used only as an internal accounting and display unit.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Supported deposit flow for SOL:

* Deposit asset: native SOL
* Deposit method: connect Web3 wallet
* Staking asset: stSOL
* Swap direction: SOL → stSOL only
* Swap ratio: 1:1
* Swap fee: 0.01%
  {% endhint %}

## 2. Step-by-Step Guide

### Step 1: Go to Assets

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

Dashboard sections:

* Stake
* Assets
* Referral
* Support
* Account

### Step 2: Select SOL

Choose SOL as your deposit asset.

### Step 3: Connect Your Web3 Wallet

For SOL deposits, connect a compatible Solana wallet.

Supported wallet flow:

* Solana-compatible Web3 wallet
* Solana Mainnet only
* Native SOL only

{% hint style="warning" %}
Do not send assets from unsupported networks. Do not send wrapped assets or unsupported SPL tokens unless explicitly supported in the interface. Only native SOL on Solana Mainnet should be used for SOL deposits.
{% endhint %}

### Step 4: Confirm the Deposit

Enter the amount of SOL you want to deposit and approve the transaction from your wallet.

After confirmation:

* Deposited SOL appears in your Funding Wallet
* Funding Wallet holds native tokens for deposit and withdrawal
* Staking Wallet holds stTokens for staking and rewards

### Step 5: Swap SOL to stSOL

To stake SOL, use the swap function to convert SOL to stSOL.

  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
BASIS supports same-token swaps only:

* BTC → stBTC
* ETH → stETH
* SOL → stSOL
* PAXG → stPAXG
  {% endhint %}

### Step 6: Stake stSOL

Go to the Stake section and stake your stSOL.

Rewards:

* Accumulate in real time
* Accrue as stSOL
* Are credited to your Staking Wallet

| Item                    | Value                 |
| ----------------------- | --------------------- |
| Supported network       | Solana Mainnet        |
| Asset type              | Native SOL            |
| Deposit method          | Connected Web3 wallet |
| Deposit fee             | 0%                    |
| Swap fee                | 0.01%                 |
| Withdrawal fee          | 0.05%                 |
| Typical withdrawal time | 1 to 10 minutes       |

## 4. Wallet Structure

| Wallet         | Purpose                                            |
| -------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Funding Wallet | Holds native tokens for deposit and withdrawal     |
| Staking Wallet | Holds stTokens for staking and reward accumulation |

## 5. Staking Rules

{% hint style="warning" %}
Fixed pools cannot be unstaked early. Unstaking is available only after the lock-up period ends.
{% endhint %}

Additional rules:

* Rewards accumulate in real time as stSOL
* Unstake action is auto-MAX only
* Full position only
* On unstake, the claimable amount is auto-credited to your Staking Wallet as stSOL

### Booster options

| Booster | Reward Multiplier |
| ------- | ----------------- |
| 14D     | +10%              |
| 30D     | +20%              |
| 90D     | +50%              |
| 180D    | +100% (2x)        |

## 6. Why SOL Is Supported

SOL is supported because it is an important settlement asset within digital asset markets and integrates efficiently with BASIS infrastructure.

Key reasons:

* Fast finality and efficient on-chain settlement
* Broad market depth across spot and derivatives venues
* Useful for structural alpha capture across fragmented liquidity environments
* Compatible with deterministic execution workflows and state-machine-based risk controls

BASIS infrastructure is designed around:

* Deterministic execution
* Mathematical constraint systems
* State machine risk controls
* BHLE architecture with sub-50μs latency
* 100K+ OPS routing capacity
* Proprietary routing infrastructure informed by Base58 Labs research

## 7. Troubleshooting

### Deposit not showing

Check the following:

* Your wallet was connected on Solana Mainnet
* You deposited native SOL
* The transaction was successfully finalized on-chain
* The connected wallet matches the depositing address

### Sent from the wrong network

Assets sent through unsupported networks may not be recoverable.

### Balance visible but cannot stake

You may still hold SOL in your Funding Wallet. To stake, first swap SOL to stSOL.
