BASIS

Stable+ Tokens

Overview

Stable+ tokens are mathematically programmed to only increase or maintain their value. Through a mechanism called slippage retention, the token's price relative to its paired asset (STASIS, which pairs with USDC) can never decrease from any previously achieved level.

The Simple Explanation: When someone buys or sells a Stable+ token, the price impact from that trade stays in the liquidity pool. This increases the liquidity-to-supply ratio, ratcheting the price up with every trade. Think of a staircase where you can only go up or stay on the same step — never down.

Key Innovation: Stable+ appreciation comes from slippage retention — NOT from fee injection. Trading fees are distributed separately to creators (20%), reward-phase buyers (4%), the STASIS Vault, and platform revenue (90% to BASIS stakers as USDC). The price mechanism and fee distribution are independent systems.

Why Stable+ Changes Everything

  • Algorithmic Impossibility: Price decreases are not just unlikely — they are mathematically impossible by smart contract design
  • Complete Peace of Mind: Remove the anxiety of typical crypto price volatility with the ability to sell at any time
  • Rug-Proof Design: 100% elastic supply with zero pre-minting prevents pump-and-dump schemes
  • Agent-Compatible: Fully programmable — AI agents can create, trade, and lend against Stable+ tokens autonomously

Technical Implementation

Smart Contract Mechanics

  • Dynamic Supply: Tokens are minted on purchase and burned on sale, creating 100% elastic supply
  • Slippage Retention: Price impact from every buy and sell stays in the liquidity pool, permanently increasing the liquidity-to-supply ratio
  • All tokens start at $1.00 with creator-configured starting liquidity ($100-$10,000)
  • Fee Structure: 0.5% transaction fee on all trades, distributed as:
    • Creator: 20% (0.1% of trade)
    • Reward-phase buyers: 4%
    • STASIS Vault: portion flows to ecosystem liquidity
    • Platform revenue: 90% to BASIS stakers as USDC + 10% operations

Important: Fees do NOT inject into token liquidity. Appreciation comes solely from slippage retention.

Transparent Governance

  • No Hidden Functions: No mint function exists outside the purchase mechanism
  • Fair Fee Distribution: Transparent 0.5% transaction fees with clear waterfall
  • Immutable Rules: Price protection guaranteed by code, not promises
  • On-Chain Verification: All mechanics transparent and verifiable on BNB Chain (ERC-20)
