System Overview

circle-info

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

This section explains the BASIS architecture, wallet model, execution stack, and the capital path through the platform.

1) High-level architecture

BASIS operates as three coordinated layers:

  1. User & Accounting Layer

    • Funding Wallet for native assets only: BTC, ETH, SOL, PAXG

    • Staking Wallet for stTokens only: stBTC, stETH, stSOL, stPAXG

    • Same-token 1:1 swap rules between native assets and stTokens

    • Real-time reward accrual in the Staking Wallet as the same stToken

  2. Execution Layer

    • BQAE for cross-venue structural alpha capture

    • Delta-neutral funding modules

    • On-chain modules with active BTC, ETH, SOL, and PAXG support

    • Deterministic routing and execution precision through BHLE

  3. Risk & Operations Layer

    • Pre-trade eligibility constraints

    • State machine controls: Normal → BSCB → DMM

    • Venue health scoring, throttling, and blacklisting

    • Liquidity buffers, unwind protocols, and reconciliation checks

    • Operational governance aligned with BASIS DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD's active ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 management systems

1.1) Wallet model

Wallet
Asset type
Primary use
Deposit
Withdraw
Stake rewards

Funding Wallet

Native tokens

Hold deposited assets and receive swapped-back native balances

Yes

Yes

No

Staking Wallet

stTokens

Hold swapped staking balances and accumulated rewards

Via 1:1 swap only

Via swap back to native asset

Yes

Supported asset mapping

Swap rules are same-token only and 1:1 by quantity. BASIS does not support cross-asset swaps inside the staking flow.

1.2) Deposit model

BTC deposits use a BASIS-assigned address that is unique to your account.

  1. Open Assets

  2. Select BTC

  3. Copy your assigned BTC deposit address

  4. Send at least 0.0001 BTC from an external wallet or exchange

  5. After confirmation, BTC appears in your Funding Wallet

BTC deposits do not require a connected Web3 wallet.

1.5) The Execution Engine: BHLE

All execution in BASIS runs through BHLE, the Base58 Hyper-Latency Engine, proprietary routing infrastructure developed with Base58 Labs, the platform's research partner.

BHLE specification
Value

Internal response time

Sub-50μs

Throughput

100K+ OPS

Execution model

Deterministic routing with bounded variance and pre-validated state transitions

Risk controls

Math-constrained eligibility checks before capital is allocated

Asset isolation

Logical separation between user accounting and execution infrastructure

Authorization model

Wallet-connected flows require user-side approval where applicable

Infrastructure

N+1 bare-metal failover across multiple availability zones

Connectivity

Unified bridge across Ethereum and Solana environments

Research basis

Market microstructure design informed by Base58 Labs research

BHLE exists to capture short-lived structural alpha opportunities under strict execution constraints. In fragmented digital asset markets, delay converts opportunity into slippage. Deterministic execution precision is therefore a core system requirement.

The execution stack operates within a broader operational framework designed for institutional-grade reliability. BASIS DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD maintains active ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 certifications, both publicly verifiable on IAF CertSearch. These certifications support disciplined security governance and service management across the platform environment.

Research context: BASIS combines proprietary infrastructure with market microstructure research from Base58 Labs. The design objective is consistent structural alpha capture under measurable latency, liquidity, and state constraints. BASIS DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD's active ISO certifications are publicly verifiable on IAF CertSearch through the certification records and certified entity record listed above.

2) Capital flow 🔄

1

Step 1: Deposit into the Funding Wallet

Users deposit native assets only.

  • BTC uses a BASIS-assigned deposit address

  • ETH, SOL, and PAXG use a connected Web3 wallet

2

Step 2: Swap 1:1 into the Staking Wallet

Native assets are swapped into the matching stToken.

  • BTC → stBTC

  • ETH → stETH

  • SOL → stSOL

  • PAXG → stPAXG

3

Step 3: Capital enters the strategy matrix

The system allocates capital across independent modules for structural alpha capture, funding carry, and other constrained strategies.

All allocations must satisfy deterministic eligibility and risk checks before activation.

4

Step 4: Rewards accrue in real time

Rewards accumulate continuously as the same stToken in the Staking Wallet.

No manual claim step is required during active accrual.

5

Step 5: Unstake and return to native asset

Unstaking is full-position only. After unstake, the credited stToken balance appears in the Staking Wallet and can be swapped 1:1 back to the native asset in the Funding Wallet for withdrawal.

3) BOVE: multi-strategy coordination

BOVE is the portfolio allocator. It routes capital across independent opportunity sources so performance does not depend on a single module.

This coordination layer improves capital efficiency by balancing:

  • cross-venue structural alpha capture

  • funding and carry opportunities

  • on-chain yield paths

  • liquidity availability

  • venue quality and settlement constraints

The objective is not complexity for its own sake. The objective is stable, rule-based allocation across opportunity sets with different market dependencies.

4) BQAE: structural alpha core

BQAE is the system component responsible for cross-venue structural alpha capture.

Its operating cycle is:

  1. Scanning High-frequency price discovery across a curated venue registry

  2. Filtering Removal of low-quality venues and assets based on depth, liquidity, transfer health, and operational reliability

  3. Coordinated execution Precision buy and sell placement with bounded slippage and exposure windows

  4. Settlement and reconciliation Position closure, transfer validation, and post-trade accounting checks

BQAE acts only when the measured opportunity exceeds the system's execution, liquidity, and risk thresholds.

5) Risk and safety states

BASIS enforces capital protection through a formal state machine.

State
Function

Normal

Strategies operate when all eligibility conditions are satisfied

BSCB

Circuit breaker state that immediately restricts risk and halts affected activity

DMM

Maintenance state used for unwind, root-cause analysis, venue review, and controlled resumption

These states are triggered by system rules, not discretionary judgment alone. This makes risk handling deterministic, auditable, and consistent across regimes.

Control principles

  • pre-trade math constraints

  • deterministic state transitions

  • venue health scoring

  • notional and liquidity limits

  • controlled unwind procedures

  • reconciliation before resumption

  • security and service processes aligned with BASIS DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD's active ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 management systems

6) Why this matters for users

You do not need to understand every internal module to use BASIS effectively. You should understand the following:

  • Funding Wallet holds native assets

  • Staking Wallet holds stTokens and accrued rewards

  • swaps are same-token only and 1:1 by quantity

  • rewards accrue in real time as the same stToken

  • unstake is full-position only

  • fixed pools unlock only after the lock-up period ends

  • withdrawals depend on native asset settlement rails and liquidity buffers

  • dashboard sections are organized as Stake, Assets, Referral, Support, and Account

  • the platform is operated by BASIS DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD, the certified entity for active ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 certifications that are publicly verifiable on IAF CertSearch
