Besides that, BASIC tokens can be staked to get various benefits. Borrowers can get lower interest rates (reduces by 20%) by staking BASIC crypto tokens, lenders who stake their BASIC tokens can earn up to 20% annually.

Finally, BASIC tokens can be used on the platform as collateral for loans. This is designed to encourage the adoption of the BASIC token. Using BASIC tokens within the ecosystem as collateral increases the demand for the token, which impacts the BASIC price positively.

BASIC Tokenomics

10 billion BASIC tokens were issued at the generation event and no additional tokens will be generated.

To prevent inflation, disruption of the ecosystem, and large sell-offs, the release of these tokens is carried out under a strict lock-up schedule. The team designed this schedule to avoid problems that may occur due to excessive initial distribution which would cause a dip in the BASIC price.

The tokens have been distributed to various sectors in the ecosystem. 20% has been reserved for operations, 5% for marketing, and 5% for advisers, legal teams, and public relations. 35% has been allocated for the loan reserve and rewards, while 35% is kept for token sales participants.
