Staking Tier Structure

Notice-Based BASIS Staking

After TGE, BASIS holders can stake tokens in the BASIS vault to earn a share of the 90% of platform revenue distributed as USDC. Instead of fixed lock periods, BASIS staking uses notice periods — you earn yield continuously and can initiate withdrawal at any time. Tokens unlock after the notice window completes.

Public Staking Tiers

Anyone holding BASIS post-TGE can stake at any of these tiers. Higher commitment → higher revenue-share weighting.

How Notice Periods Work

1. Earning phase: Your tokens are staked, earning USDC yield at your tier's multiplier
2. Notice initiation: You decide to withdraw. Notice countdown begins.
3. Notice window: You continue earning yield during the entire notice period
4. Unlock: After notice window completes, tokens are available to withdraw

Why notice-based: No cliff unlock dates means no coordinated dumps. Holders stay because they're earning.

Upgrading Tiers

• You can voluntarily extend your commitment for a higher tier multiplier
• Downgrading is not permitted — commitment is one-directional

Founder Allocation (Separate System)

Founder tokens (15% / 150M) are permanently locked in the BASIS staking contract — no unlock schedule and no cliff that ever expires. Founders earn only from the platform's revenue share that flows to the BASIS vault. Founders are not part of the public tier ladder above; their lock is unconditional and forever.

Presale & Advisor Allocations (Not Notice-Based)

Presale rounds (Seed, Strategic, Private, Public) and Advisor allocations vest under a cliff + linear vesting schedule — they're not subject to notice periods. Once vested, those holders are free to stake into any of the public tiers above. See Presale Rounds & Vesting for round-specific terms.

Airdrop Recipients

Airdrop tokens earned across the three phases are fully unlocked at TGE — no vesting, no cliff, no notice period. Airdrop recipients can optionally stake their unlocked tokens into any public tier post-TGE to earn rev share, same as any other BASIS holder.

APY Projections (Diamond Tier, 50% of Supply Staked)

Actual APY varies based on total staked amount and tier distribution. Final tier parameters subject to change before TGE.
