Reward Flow & Calculation

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

Currency convention: All values may be displayed in USDT as an internal accounting and interface unit representing USD-equivalent value. USDT is not a depositable or withdrawable asset on BASIS. Deposits and withdrawals are supported in native assets only: BTC, ETH, SOL, and PAXG.

The referral network operates on discrete settlement events. Reward distribution is triggered when an eligible downstream claim event is processed.

1) Event sequence

2) Calculation base

Reward variables

Variable	Meaning
C	Downstream claim amount, displayed in USDT-equivalent terms
r_A, r_B, r_C	Reward rates for eligible referral nodes
Cap	Maximum reward ceiling defined by policy

Node reward formula for Node A:

$$\text{Reward}_A = C \cdot r_A$$

Total upstream reward remains bounded by Cap.

Production logic may include additional eligibility checks, state validation, anti-abuse filters, and contribution-based reward controls.

3) Worked example

Assume:

• You qualify for a referral structure where Node A and Node B are active

• Your direct referral settles a claim valued at 100 in USDT-equivalent display terms

Then:

• Node A reward = 100 × 15% = 15

If a downstream participant one level further settles another claim valued at 100:

• Node B reward = 100 × 8% = 8

Combined rewards remain subject to the applicable reward cap.

Displayed examples use USDT-equivalent accounting for calculation clarity only. Settlement, balances, staking, and withdrawals on BASIS are managed through native assets and corresponding stTokens.

4) Leadership bonus

A leadership bonus may apply to qualified participants with broader ecosystem contribution.

This bonus:

• Rewards sustained network contribution

• May extend beyond standard Node C scope where policy permits

• Always remains within the applicable maximum reward ceiling

5) Important constraints

• No qualifying claim event means no reward distribution

• No active eligible node means no reward distribution

• The configured cap cannot be exceeded

• Eligibility is determined by current system state and policy rules at the time of settlement

These controls support auditability, deterministic reward processing, and bounded reward issuance.

6) Operational notes

Settlement Logic

• Rewards are evaluated on discrete claim settlement events

• Distribution is policy-bound and state-dependent

• Invalid or ineligible paths are excluded automatically
