# Minimum Staking & Reward Claim Policy

Minimum staking amounts and reward claim thresholds for BASIS staking products on BASIS.

## Overview

BASIS applies minimum staking and minimum reward claim thresholds to maintain economic efficiency, operational consistency, and execution quality across supported assets. These thresholds are designed to ensure that positions are large enough to generate meaningful rewards, absorb network-related costs, and remain compatible with internal liquidity and risk controls.

All thresholds listed on this page are denominated in the native unit of the relevant asset. Minimums may be reviewed and updated periodically to reflect changes in market structure, network fees, settlement conditions, and internal execution requirements.

## Minimum Staking

| Asset  | Minimum Stake |
| ------ | ------------: |
| stBTC  |   0.00001 BTC |
| stETH  |    0.0003 ETH |
| stSOL  |     0.006 SOL |
| stPAXG |   0.0001 PAXG |

## How Minimum Thresholds Are Calibrated

Minimum staking thresholds are calibrated as a low practical floor for each asset rather than as a barrier to entry. The floor serves two operational purposes. First, it filters dust-level entries that are technically valid but economically immaterial over standard accrual periods, so that position tracking, reporting precision, and reward accounting remain meaningful. Second, it defines the minimum unit in which staking actions, including the Auto Earn of unclaimed rewards, can execute cleanly across position sizes.

Thresholds are reviewed periodically and adjusted to reflect market structure, network fee conditions, settlement characteristics, and product requirements. Operational depth requirements for execution, including the liquidity profile maintained by the BHLE arbitrage engine, are managed at the system level through capital assignment and reserve policy, not through user-facing minimums.

## Minimum Reward Claim

| Asset  | Minimum Reward Claim |
| ------ | -------------------: |
| stBTC  |          0.00001 BTC |
| stETH  |           0.0003 ETH |
| stSOL  |            0.006 SOL |
| stPAXG |          0.0001 PAXG |

## Minimum Withdrawal

| Asset  | Minimum Withdrawal |
| ------ | -----------------: |
| stBTC  |         0.0002 BTC |
| stETH  |          0.004 ETH |
| stSOL  |            0.1 SOL |
| stPAXG |         0.002 PAXG |

## Claim vs Withdraw

It is important to distinguish between a **claim** and a **withdrawal**:

* **Claim** means moving accrued staking rewards into your **internal BASIS balance**.
* **Withdraw** means transferring assets from BASIS to an **external wallet address**.

A reward claim is an internal platform action and is subject to the **minimum reward claim thresholds** listed above. A withdrawal is a separate action and may be subject to additional rules, including withdrawal minimums, network fees, compliance checks, destination address validation, and asset-specific processing windows.

> A successful reward claim does **not** automatically trigger a withdrawal to an external wallet.

## Auto Earn Interaction

Unclaimed rewards that meet the minimum reward claim threshold are automatically restaked every Monday at 00:00 UTC. The sweep credits rewards into the existing position without resetting the lock-up term or the booster schedule, and each sweep is processed as a reward realization event, so the documented referral reward flow is preserved. Rewards below the threshold simply keep accruing until they qualify. See [Auto Earn](/economics-and-rewards/auto-earn.md) for the full mechanics.

## Important Notes

* Minimum staking thresholds apply at the time a staking position is created or topped up.
* Minimum reward claim thresholds apply per claim request and to the Auto Earn sweep.
* Rewards below the claim threshold will generally remain accrued until the minimum claim amount is reached.
* Claiming rewards does **not** unstake or redeem your principal position.
* Withdrawal rules are separate from claim rules and may vary by asset, network, and account type.
* BASIS may update thresholds from time to time in response to market, network, or operational conditions.
* Additional account-level controls may apply for institutional or restricted accounts.
