Based Points: One Year Anniversary & Staking Emission Update

Official Post

Funding has been the most-watched number in crypto for a decade. No desk has ever been able to trade it.

That is about to change. Together with Nunchi, we are bringing the first funding rate perps to Hyperliquid. BTCSWP is a perp on the BTC funding rate itself, long if you think funding accelerates, short if it compresses.

An entire asset class moves from watched to traded.

Live on testnet now, mainnet coming soon. Try it: http://testnet.based.one/yex:BTCSWP

Season 3 $BASED is distributed.

Every participant who signed the $BASED Genesis Terms has been credited directly into their staking account. Up to 80% allocation has been rescinded for accounts which infringe on the T&Cs of our S3 program. This lowers total distributed amount to roughly 70% of S3. Out of the distributed amount, roughly 60% of S3 allocation goes to users who have already signed terms, and the remaining will be distributed in June.

If you participated but have not signed yet, you have until 4 June. Accept the terms before then and your $BASED follows on 7 June.

Your staked $BASED just became more valuable.

Today we're unveiling Based Launchpool, and its first project: Pull.fun

A TCG trading and gacha platform built on Hyperliquid, with real card inventory, real revenue, and a long-term path toward TCG perps via HIP-3 and Based Cloud.

Stake $BASED to earn Launchpool Points that convert to $PULL tokens at TGE. 50% of total $PULL goes to its genesis - half the token is in the hands of the community from day one.

97M $BASED staked across all tiers. 63 Hype cards, 42 Gold cards issued. 75K Launchpool Points distributed.

Nearly half of all staking rewards went straight back into the staking pools. Stakers earn Based VISA cards and Launchpool Points for upcoming partner projects, and they're choosing to compound rather than exit.

That's the kind of community you can build on.
