BASIS Announces PAX Gold (PAXG) Support Is Live
Asset: PAXG (PAX Gold), Ethereum (ERC-20)
Why PAXG is supported
BASIS has expanded its supported asset set beyond BTC, ETH, and SOL to include PAXG as an active supported asset.
PAXG is included because it:
introduces a differentiated market regime linked to gold exposure
broadens structural alpha capture opportunities across spot, derivatives, and cross-venue routing
aligns with the BASIS trust framework through explicit risk controls, deterministic execution, and auditable operational constraints
How PAXG is supported on BASIS
PAXG is fully active across the BASIS asset flow.
Users can:
deposit native PAXG by connecting a Web3 wallet
swap PAXG to stPAXG at a 1:1 ratio
stake stPAXG and accumulate rewards in real time
unstake the full staked position after the applicable lock-up period, subject to a mandatory 7-day unstaking buffer before claimable stPAXG is credited
withdraw native PAXG from the Funding Wallet
PAXG Staking Flow
Web3 Wallet (PAXG)
Deposit to Funding Wallet (PAXG)
1:1 swap to Staking Wallet (stPAXG)
Stake to active position
Deposit and wallet handling
Connect a supported Web3 wallet such as MetaMask.
Select PAXG from the Assets section.
Deposit native PAXG into your Funding Wallet.
Swap PAXG to stPAXG at 1:1 before staking.
PAXG deposits require a connected Web3 wallet. BASIS supports native token deposits for ETH, SOL, and PAXG through wallet connection. BTC deposits use a unique BASIS-assigned deposit address instead.

Staking and reward mechanics

Native PAXG is held in the Funding Wallet
stPAXG is held in the Staking Wallet
rewards accumulate in real time as stPAXG
unstake is full-position only
the claimable amount is auto-credited to the Staking Wallet as stPAXG, subject to a 7-day unstaking buffer following the unstake action
fixed pools can only be unstaked after the lock-up period ends, with claimable amounts credited after the mandatory 7-day unstaking buffer
