Staking Tier Structure

Presale and Post TGE holders have the option to stake their BASIS tokens and earn USDC yield

Revenue Distribution (The Pure Yield Model)

BASIS operates on a pure yield model — no buybacks, no token burns, no artificial price support. Instead, 90% of platform revenue flows directly to stakers as USDC. Token value derives from yield, not speculation.

Allocation	Percentage	Example ($40M/yr)
Staking Rewards Pool	90%	$36,000,000 USDC
Treasury Reserve	10%	$4,000,000 USDC

Why No Buybacks?

1. Real Value: USDC yield is tangible, immediate value — not paper gains

2. Sustainability: Yield continues as long as platform generates revenue

3. Alignment: Stakers care about platform revenue, not token price manipulation

4. Simplicity: No complex buyback timing, no MEV exploitation, no governance overhead

5. Tax Efficiency: USDC yield allows stakers to manage their own tax timing

Auto-Compounding Emissions

40M tokens are distributed over 24 months exclusively to airdrop recipients who chose to lock. Emissions auto-stake into existing positions — zero sell pressure.
