London, United Kingdom, September 16, 2026 — Chainwire

BASIS, the institutional-grade crypto yield and staking platform built on market-neutral execution infrastructure, is broadening its institutional footprint through three new developments: an ecosystem partnership with XDC Network, a collaboration with Zypher DAO, and the launch of Auto Earn, an automated reward restaking feature now live for BTC, ETH, SOL, and PAXG participants. The two ecosystem moves connect BASIS's yield infrastructure to adjacent areas of on-chain finance — tokenized real-world assets and verifiable AI — while Auto Earn addresses how rewards are handled for existing participants.

Yield Infrastructure Meets Real-World Financial Infrastructure

BASIS and XDC Network have announced a partnership exploring opportunities at the intersection of crypto yield, real-world assets (RWAs), and the broader on-chain economy. XDC Network is an EVM-compatible Layer-1 blockchain powering payments, trade finance, and real-world asset solutions.

The pairing puts a yield-execution platform alongside a chain built for tokenized versions of traditional financial activity. Trade finance and asset tokenization are among the areas where institutions have been testing blockchain rails against long-established, largely off-chain processes. Because the announcement is framed as exploratory, no specific integrations, products, or timelines have been disclosed.

By combining BASIS's market-neutral yield and staking infrastructure with XDC Network's high-throughput, enterprise-oriented blockchain, the two teams are exploring how disciplined yield execution can connect with real-world financial infrastructure, from tokenized assets to trade-finance ecosystems.

Verifiable AI Meets Market-Neutral Yield

BASIS has also entered into a collaboration with Zypher DAO (Zypher Network), an AI and Zero-Knowledge (ZK) powered Web4 ecosystem building AI-native blockchain infrastructure and intelligent digital economies. The collaboration pairs Zypher's verifiable AI and ZK capabilities with BASIS's market-neutral yield infrastructure, with both teams exploring new possibilities across intelligent finance, verifiable execution, and on-chain asset management.

For context, zero-knowledge proofs are cryptographic techniques that let a computation or claim be verified without exposing the underlying data — a building block behind efforts to make AI-driven processes auditable on-chain. As with the XDC partnership, the collaboration is exploratory, with concrete deliverables not yet announced.

Auto Earn Automates Reward Restaking

Separately, BASIS has launched Auto Earn, an automated process that restakes eligible unclaimed staking rewards into a user's existing position every Monday at 00:00 UTC.

The feature touches accrued-but-unclaimed rewards only. It does not create a new position, add a new lock-up, reset the lock-up timer, or change the original maturity date or booster schedule. In practice, that means rewards compound on a weekly cycle without a manual claim-and-restake step, while all original position terms stay as they are. Auto Earn is enabled by default, and users can switch it off or back on at any time in account settings. Full documentation is available at docs.basis.pro/economics-and-rewards/auto-earn.

About BASIS

BASIS is an institutional-grade crypto yield and staking platform for BTC, ETH, SOL, and PAXG. Participants can earn rewards by staking their assets on basis.pro, with rates following the platform's live Dynamic Reward Rate (DRR), which varies with market conditions and is not fixed or guaranteed. The platform executes market-neutral strategies designed to reduce directional exposure, with capital-preservation controls — including risk constraints and circuit breakers — embedded across its execution and operating framework.

BASIS is operated by BASIS DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE LTD, a Seychelles-registered IBC (LEI: 254900IX2F2KCWNSSS64), under ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and ISO/IEC 20000-1:2018 certified management systems. Execution research, systems modeling, and risk design are contributed by Base58 Labs, a London-based independent research and engineering institution.
