Staking Tier Structure

Notice-Based BASIS Staking

After TGE, BASIS holders can stake tokens in the BASIS vault to earn a share of the 48% of all fees 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 the public 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)

Founders' 15% (150M) is burned permanently — not a cliff, not a vest, never sold or withdrawn. Founders earn only from the platform's revenue share that flows to the BASIS vault, at the 8.0x Founder multiplier. Their position is unconditional and forever.

Presale & Advisor Allocations (Not Notice-Based)

Presale rounds (Angel, Seed, 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.
