System Overview
Operator and jurisdiction: BASIS is operated by BASIS DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD, a Seychelles IBC (LEI: 254900IX2F2KCWNSSS64).
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:
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
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
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
BASIS is designed around deterministic execution, math constraints, and state machine risk controls. Capital preservation is implemented as a system rule, not an operator preference. The platform operates within active, publicly verifiable ISO management systems for information security and IT service management.
1.1) Wallet model
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.
Open Assets
Select BTC
Copy your assigned BTC deposit address
Send at least 0.0001 BTC from an external wallet or exchange
After confirmation, BTC appears in your Funding Wallet
BTC deposits do not require a connected Web3 wallet.
ETH, SOL, and PAXG deposits use a connected Web3 wallet.
Open Assets
Select ETH, SOL, or PAXG
Connect a supported Web3 wallet such as MetaMask
Approve the wallet prompt and submit the native token deposit
After confirmation, the asset appears in your Funding Wallet
PAXG support is live and active.
1.3) Core operational rules
Deposit assets
BTC, ETH, SOL, PAXG only
USDT
Internal accounting and display unit only
Swap fee
0.01%
Deposit fee
0%
Withdrawal fee
0.05%
Minimum BTC deposit
0.0001 BTC
BTC withdrawal time
Typically 30 minutes to 1 hour
ETH / SOL / PAXG withdrawal time
Typically 1 to 6 minutes
Reward format
Accumulates in real time as the same stToken in the Staking Wallet
Unstake behavior
Full position only, auto-MAX
Claimable amount after unstake
Auto-credited to the Staking Wallet as stToken
Fixed pools
Unstake only after the lock-up period ends
Booster options
14D +10%, 30D +20%, 90D +50%, 180D +100%
USDT balances shown on the dashboard are for accounting and reporting. Deposits and withdrawals occur in native assets only.
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.
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 🔄
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:
Scanning High-frequency price discovery across a curated venue registry
Filtering Removal of low-quality venues and assets based on depth, liquidity, transfer health, and operational reliability
Coordinated execution Precision buy and sell placement with bounded slippage and exposure windows
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.
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
The trust model of BASIS is based on deterministic execution, constrained strategy design, and explicit operational states. BHLE provides the speed. The risk engine provides the boundaries. Active, publicly verifiable ISO certifications strengthen the operational foundation behind that model.
