Fee Calculator & Worked Examples

Operator & jurisdiction: BASIS is operated by BASIS DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD, a Seychelles-incorporated entity (LEI: 254900IX2F2KCWNSSS64).

Currency convention: The dashboard may use USDT as an internal accounting and display unit for USD-equivalent valuation. USDT is not a depositable or withdrawable asset on BASIS. Deposits and withdrawals are supported in native assets only: BTC, ETH, SOL, and PAXG.

This page breaks down fees and boosters with worked examples so you can sanity-check expected outcomes.

Worked Example 1: Staking 1 BTC (30 Days, No Booster)

Assumptions

• BTC price at deposit: $80,000 equivalent

• Illustrative base yield rate: 0.05% per day

• Hold period: 30 days

• Deposit amount: 1 BTC

• Minimum BTC deposit: 0.0001 BTC

Flow

1

Deposit 1 BTC into your Funding Wallet using your BASIS-assigned BTC deposit address.

2

Swap BTC to stBTC at 1:1 quantity. A 0.01% swap fee applies.

3

Stake stBTC. Rewards accumulate in real time as stBTC in your Staking Wallet.

4

At unstake, the full staked position is auto-selected as MAX. Partial unstake is not supported.

Step	Calculation	Amount
Deposit fee	0%	$0.00
Swap fee	$80,000 × 0.01%	$8.00
Daily base yield	$80,000 × 0.05%	$40.00/day
30-day yield	$40.00 × 30	$1,200.00
Withdrawal fee	($80,000 + $1,200) × 0.05%	$40.60

Result

• Gross value before withdrawal fee: ~$81,200.00 equivalent

• Net value after withdrawal fee: ~$81,159.40 equivalent

Quantity note: the swap remains 1:1 at the token level. Fiat-equivalent value at withdrawal depends on the BTC market price at that time.

Worked Example 2: Staking 1 BTC (90-Day Fixed Pool, +50% Booster)

Assumptions

• Same starting BTC value: $80,000 equivalent

• Same illustrative base yield rate: 0.05% per day

• Lock-up period: 90 days

• Booster: +50%

Step	Calculation	Amount
Swap fee	$80,000 × 0.01%	$8.00
Boosted daily yield	$40.00 × 1.5	$60.00/day
90-day yield	$60.00 × 90	$5,400.00
Withdrawal fee	($80,000 + $5,400) × 0.05%	$42.70

Result

• Gross value before withdrawal fee: ~$85,400.00 equivalent

• Net value after withdrawal fee: ~$85,357.30 equivalent

Comparison

Pool	Duration	Net Yield
No booster	90 days	~$3,600.00
90-day fixed	90 days	~$5,400.00

Yield advantage from the 90-day booster: ~$1,800.00 equivalent

Worked Example 3: ETH Staking with Referral Rewards

Assumptions

• You stake 20 ETH

• ETH price at deposit: $3,500 equivalent

• Total value: $70,000 equivalent

• Base yield rate: 0.04% per day

• You have a referred user who generates a reward event equivalent to $200

Your own staking yield over 30 days

Calculation	Amount
Daily yield	$70,000 × 0.04%
30-day yield	$28.00 × 30

Contribution-aligned referral network example

Calculation	Amount
Downstream reward event	$200.00
Example referral reward rate	15%
Your referral reward	$30.00

Referral network rewards are governed by the contribution-based reward system and credited according to the applicable referral structure. See the referral documentation for current calculation logic.

Worked Example 4: Fixed Pool Unstake After Lock-up

For fixed pools, unstaking becomes available only after the lock-up period ends.

Example: 90-day fixed BTC position

• Deposit: 1 BTC

• Booster: +50%

• Lock-up: 90 days

At day 90:

• Your full staked position is available for unstake

• The unstake action is auto-MAX for the full position

• Claimable rewards are automatically credited to your Staking Wallet as stBTC

• You may then withdraw native BTC from your Funding Wallet after the required conversion flow

There is no early exit option for fixed pools. If you need immediate liquidity, use an unstaked balance in your Funding Wallet rather than a locked fixed pool position.

Network Processing Expectations

Asset	Typical Withdrawal Time
BTC	30 minutes to 1 hour
ETH	1 to 6 minutes
SOL	1 to 6 minutes
PAXG	1 to 6 minutes

Network fees are separate from BASIS fees and are determined by the underlying chain environment and wallet conditions.

Wallet Model Reference

Wallet	Holds	Primary Actions
Funding Wallet	Native assets: BTC, ETH, SOL, PAXG	Deposit, withdraw
Staking Wallet	stTokens: stBTC, stETH, stSOL, stPAXG	Stake, receive rewards, unstake

BTC deposits

1. Open Assets or Funding Wallet.

2. Copy your BASIS-assigned BTC deposit address.

3. Send BTC from your external wallet or exchange.
