Deposit SOL
[!INFO] Operator & jurisdiction: BASIS is operated by BASIS DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD, a Seychelles-incorporated entity (LEI: 254900IX2F2KCWNSSS64).
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.
[!IMPORTANT] 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%

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.
