Swap, Stake & Earn

circle-info

Operator & jurisdiction: BASIS is operated by BASIS DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD, a Seychelles-incorporated entity (LEI: 254900IX2F2KCWNSSS64arrow-up-right).

Currency convention: Portfolio values, performance, and reporting may be displayed in USDT as an internal accounting unit for USD-equivalent reference. USDT is not a depositable or withdrawable asset on BASIS.

After your deposit arrives in the Funding Wallet, you can swap into the corresponding stToken to allocate capital into BASIS staking flows.

1) Swap step: native token to matching stToken

BASIS supports same-token 1:1 swaps only.

Supported wallet flow by asset

  • Deposit BTC by copying your BASIS-assigned BTC deposit address

  • No Web3 wallet connection is required for BTC deposits

  • Minimum deposit: 0.0001 BTC

Why the swap step exists

The swap step creates a clear system boundary between custody and participation:

  • Funding Wallet holds native tokens for deposit and withdrawal

  • Staking Wallet holds stTokens for staking and reward accrual

  • principal and rewards are tracked with deterministic accounting

  • state transitions are controlled by internal risk checks

This structure supports deterministic execution, math-constrained accounting, and state machine risk controls.

2) What happens after you stake

Once swapped, the stToken appears in your Staking Wallet.

Rewards then:

  • accumulate in real time

  • accrue in the same stToken denomination

  • remain visible in the dashboard as your position updates

  • are governed by system safety conditions and execution controls

Rewards accrue in the Staking Wallet as stBTC, stETH, stSOL, or stPAXG depending on the asset staked.

3) How rewards should be understood

Rewards are variable and should not be interpreted as a fixed interest rate.

They are driven by:

  • structural alpha capture

  • execution precision across BASIS infrastructure

  • net strategy outcomes after fees and operating conditions

  • internal safety controls that can limit or pause allocation activity when required

BASIS infrastructure is designed around deterministic execution and disciplined routing logic, including:

  • sub-50μs latency architecture

  • 100K+ OPS routing capacity

  • proprietary execution infrastructure

  • mathematically constrained risk controls

6) Before you stake

1

Review the Risk Disclosure documentation.

2

Confirm the token and network are correct.

3

Confirm you are swapping only into the matching stToken:

  • BTC → stBTC

  • ETH → stETH

  • SOL → stSOL

  • PAXG → stPAXG

4

Understand wallet roles:

  • Funding Wallet = native token deposits and withdrawals

  • Staking Wallet = stTokens, staking positions, and reward accrual

5

If using a fixed pool, confirm you accept full lock-up until maturity.

7) Unstake and reward crediting

When unstaking:

  • the unstake action applies to the full staked position only

  • partial unstake is not supported

  • claimable amounts are automatically credited to the Staking Wallet as stToken

  • you may then swap back 1:1 into the corresponding native token before withdrawal

8) Dashboard path

Use the following sections to manage the full flow:

  • Stake

  • Assets

  • Referral

  • Support

  • Account


Next step: review how unstake and reward crediting work across the BASIS dashboard.
