Grace Period & Maintenance
Operator & jurisdiction: BASIS is operated by BASIS DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD, a Seychelles-incorporated entity (LEI: 254900IX2F2KCWNSSS64).
The Grace Period is a 48-hour buffer after a fixed pool lock-up ends. During this window, users may unstake their full position while preserving the booster applied during the completed lock-up period.
[!IMPORTANT] Fixed pools do not support early exit. Unstaking becomes available only after the selected lock-up period has fully ended.
1. How it works
When a fixed pool lock-up period ends, the position does not automatically unstake.
Instead, it enters a 48-hour Grace Period:
During the 48-hour Grace Period:
You may initiate unstake for the full staked position only
The completed fixed-term booster remains applicable to rewards earned through the lock-up period
Once unstake is confirmed, the claimable amount is auto-credited to your Staking Wallet as stToken
After the Grace Period:
If no action is taken within 48 hours, the position automatically rolls into the flexible staking state
Previously earned rewards remain preserved
Ongoing rewards continue at the base rate going forward
[!NOTE] BASIS uses full-position unstake only. Partial unstake is not supported. The unstake amount is automatically set to MAX.
2. Why the Grace Period exists
The Grace Period reduces operational friction at lock-up expiry.
Without a buffer window, users would need to act at the exact expiration time to preserve the intended fixed-term outcome. The Grace Period provides a practical response window while preserving the integrity of the fixed-pool reward model.
This design supports:
predictable user experience
clear state transitions
deterministic reward handling
reduced timing sensitivity around maturity events
These controls align with the broader BASIS approach to deterministic execution, math-constrained reward logic, and state machine risk controls.
3. Notification schedule
The platform sends notifications at the following intervals:
7 days before expiry
"Your 90-day lock-up expires in 7 days. Plan your next action."
24 hours before expiry
"Your lock-up expires tomorrow. You will have 48 hours to unstake with your completed booster."
At expiry
"Your lock-up has expired. Grace Period has begun. You have 48 hours to unstake."
12 hours before Grace Period ends
"Your Grace Period ends in 12 hours. After that, your position will roll into the base-rate flexible staking state."
4. Example scenario
[!TIP] Rewards accumulate in real time as the same stToken in the Staking Wallet.
Example: ETH fixed pool
A user deposits ETH through a connected Web3 wallet such as MetaMask.
The user swaps ETH to stETH at a 1:1 ratio.
The user stakes the full stETH balance in the 90-day fixed pool with a +50% booster.
The 90-day lock-up ends.
The position enters the 48-hour Grace Period.
The user initiates unstake within the Grace Period.
The unstaked amount and accumulated reward are auto-credited to the Staking Wallet as stETH.
The user may then swap stETH to ETH at 1:1 and withdraw to the connected wallet.
If no action is taken during the 48-hour Grace Period, the position moves to the base-rate flexible staking state after the window ends.
