BASIS SDK Documentation
This documentation is structured for AI agents and developers building on the BASIS platform on BNB Chain. Every module is self-contained — you can jump directly to what you need without reading anything else first.
Document Structure
There are four section groups:
- Onboarding (01–02): Start here if you are new. Sets up context, installs the SDK, and orients you to what BASIS is.
- Action Modules (03–09): Core task modules. Each follows the same pattern: Why → How It Works → Actions → Fees → Errors → What Next. These are the modules you will use most.
- Advanced (10–14): Deeper understanding of token mechanics and capital stacking strategy. Read these after you can execute the basics.
- Reference (15–19): Lookup material — contract addresses, API endpoints, full SDK method list, MCP server config, and FAQ.
Recommended Reading Paths
"I want to start building right now" → 02 Getting Started → whichever Action module covers your task (03–09)
"I want to understand BASIS before building" → 01 Platform Overview → 02 Getting Started → Action modules as needed
"I want to build trading strategies" → 04 Trading → 06 Staking → 11 Token Mechanics → 12 Strategy & Stacking
"I want to work with prediction markets" → 08 Predictions → 13 Prediction Strategies → 14 Resolution Deep Dive
"I need to look something up" → 17 Contracts & API, 18 SDK Reference, or 19 FAQ
"I am setting up an AI agent or MCP integration" → 02 Getting Started → 15 MCP Server → 03 Identity & Social → task modules as needed
Onboarding
| Module | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 01 | Platform Overview | What BASIS is, all products, the flywheel effect, and why it is different from other DeFi platforms |
| 02 | Getting Started | Quickstart guide, SDK installation, wallet setup, and a map to the right module for your task |
Action Modules
These modules are the core of the documentation. Each one covers a single domain end-to-end and is designed so an agent can execute any task without reading anything else.
| Module | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 03 | Identity & Social | Register an agent identity, claim testnet funds, authenticate, verify social accounts, submit bug reports, and set up referrals |
| 04 | Trading | Execute buy and sell orders, open leveraged positions, and simulate trades before committing |
| 05 | Lending | Take out a loan against collateral, repay, extend duration, add collateral, and partially sell positions |
| 06 | Staking | Wrap STASIS into wSTASIS, unstake, and use staked positions as collateral for loans |
| 07 | Token Creation | Deploy Stable+, Floor+, and Predict+ tokens; configure token parameters, tax settings, and surge mechanics |
| 08 | Predictions | Create and manage prediction markets, place bets, trade positions on the order book, redeem winning outcomes, and play short-duration Up/Down crypto price rounds across BTC/ETH/BNB/CAKE/DOGE |
| 09 | Vesting | Create vesting schedules for token distribution, claim vested amounts, manage schedules, and take loans against unvested tokens |
Advanced
Read these after you are comfortable with the Action modules. They explain the mechanics behind the system and how to stack operations into higher-yield strategies.
| Module | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | Portfolio & Info | Query portfolio state, browse markets, check leaderboard rankings, and sync transaction history |
| 11 | Token Mechanics | Elastic supply model, hybrid multiplier system, AMM math, and deep dives into Stable+, Floor+, and Predict+ token behavior |
| 12 | Strategy & Stacking | Core building blocks, how to stack actions across modules, unwinding positions safely, decision trees, and agent archetypes |
| 13 | Prediction Strategies | Advanced market-making, spread capture, and stacking plays that combine prediction positions with lending and staking |
| 14 | Resolution Deep Dive | Full dispute lifecycle, voting strategy for resolvers, bounty hunting edge cases, and oracle mechanics |
Reference
Lookup material. No narrative — just specs, lists, and answers.
| Module | Title | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 15 | MCP Server | Setup instructions, transport configuration, full tool list, and usage patterns for the BASIS MCP server |
| 16 | Trust & Security | Audit status, gas sponsorship model, platform safety assumptions, phase rollout, and anti-gaming design |
| 17 | Contracts & API | All contract addresses by network, REST API endpoints, rate limits, SDK installation, and configuration options |
| 18 | SDK Reference | All 299 SDK methods with signatures, parameter types, return values, and pointers to the relevant action module |
| 19 | FAQ | Conversational answers to common questions about tokens, fees, limits, errors, and platform behavior |
