OVERVIEW
BASALT is a burn reward protocol for Ethereum, launching on Stockereum. Once the protocol is live, holders of $BASALT will take part in global 60-minute Reward Cycles. Every cycle will end with one decision: Claim the reward, or Burn it to build Heat. Heat will raise your Reward Weight in the cycles that follow.
- Cycle length · 60 minutes, global
- Decision window · 60 minutes after a reward becomes available
- Heat · +10% compound per Burn, up to 15 Burns
- Peak Heat · 4.18x
- Trading fee · 3% (1% Stockereum, 2% BASALT Protocol), 0% to the creator or team
Contracts: Coming Soon · Not Live Yet. The mechanics described in these Docs are planned features of the protocol and take effect once the contracts launch.
02
HOW BASALT WORKS
- 1 · Trade. Trading activity will pay a 3% fee.
- 2 · Fund. The 2% BASALT share will go to the Protocol Treasury and feed the Reward Pool.
- 3 · Cycle. Every 60 minutes a global Reward Cycle will close and a reward will become available.
- 4 · Decide. Claim it, or Burn it to raise your Heat. You will have 60 minutes.
- 5 · Compound. Each Burn will add +10% Heat, up to 15 Burns (4.18x).
- 6 · Hold. Selling will lower your Heat in proportion to how much you sell.
You can explore every page without a wallet. Only personal actions (your rewards, Claim, Burn, history, Agent) need one.

PROTOCOL REVENUE
TRADING ACTIVITY
↓ 3% FEE
├─ 1% STOCKEREUM
└─ 2% BASALT PROTOCOL
↓
PROTOCOL TREASURY → REWARD POOL
↓
60-MINUTE CYCLES → CLAIM OR BURN
The BASALT Protocol share will flow into the Protocol Treasury, which will supply the Reward Pool. This routing is part of the contract design and takes effect at launch.
06
REWARD POOL
The Reward Pool will be the amount shared among eligible holders each cycle. Your share depends on your Reward Weight compared with the total eligible Reward Weight.
Pool Share = Your Reward Weight ÷ Total Eligible Reward Weight
Your Reward = Reward Pool × Pool Share
Expired allocations will return to the pool for future distribution. They are not burned, not claimed and not sent to anyone.
07
REWARD CYCLES
A Reward Cycle will last exactly 60 minutes and run on one global clock for everyone. Each cycle will have a Cycle ID that grows by one.
When a cycle ends, its reward will become available. You will then have 60 minutes to Claim or Burn it, while the next cycle is already running.
12:00 Cycle #184 starts
13:00 Cycle #184 ends · Reward #184 available · Cycle #185 starts
14:00 Reward #184 expires if you have not decided
- A Claim, Burn or expiration will never start, end, speed up or delay a cycle.
- Claim will have no cooldown. You stay eligible for the next cycle.
- An expired reward is gone for good. Your Heat and Burn Streak will not change.
08
CLAIM VS BURN
One reward, one decision, 60 minutes.
CLAIM
- Receive the reward in $BASALT
- Heat resets to 1.00x
- Burn Streak returns to 0
- You remain eligible
BURN
- The reward is burned on-chain
- Heat grows by +10%
- Burn Streak +1, up to 15
- It cannot be reversed
No decision in 60 minutes? The reward expires. That is neither a Claim nor a Burn: Heat and Burn Streak do not change. At 15/15 Burn is unavailable, so Claim to start a new run.
09
HEAT SYSTEM
Heat is your Reward Power multiplier. It starts at 1.00x and grows 10% on top of the previous value with every consecutive Burn, up to 15 Burns.
Heat = 1.10 ^ Burns (max 15 → 4.18x)
| Burns | Heat |
|---|
| 0 | 1.00x |
| 1 | 1.10x |
| 2 | 1.21x |
| 3 | 1.33x |
| 4 | 1.46x |
| 5 | 1.61x |
| 6 | 1.77x |
| 7 | 1.95x |
| 8 | 2.14x |
| 9 | 2.36x |
| 10 | 2.59x |
| 11 | 2.85x |
| 12 | 3.14x |
| 13 | 3.45x |
| 14 | 3.80x |
| 15 | 4.18x |
A Burn's new Heat applies from the next Reward Cycle. The Basalt Entity is the visual form of your Burn Streak.
Claim resets Heat. Selling lowers it. Buying never reduces Heat, and an expired reward never changes it.
10
REWARD WEIGHT
Reward Weight = Eligible Token Balance × Heat
A larger balance and a higher Heat both raise your Reward Weight. Heat is a multiplier on your balance.
Example: 1,000,000 BASALT × 4.18x = 4,180,000 Reward Weight
Example calculation.
11
DYNAMIC SELL PENALTY
Selling lowers your Heat in proportion to the share of your balance you sell. Each 5% sold (rounded up) costs one Burn.
Burns lost = ceil(sold% ÷ 5) · 50% or more = full reset
| Sold | Burns lost | From 15 → Burns | Heat |
|---|
| 0% | 0 | 15 | 4.18x |
| >0–5% | 1 | 14 | 3.80x |
| >5–10% | 2 | 13 | 3.45x |
| >10–15% | 3 | 12 | 3.14x |
| >15–20% | 4 | 11 | 2.85x |
| >20–25% | 5 | 10 | 2.59x |
| >25–30% | 6 | 9 | 2.36x |
| >30–35% | 7 | 8 | 2.14x |
| >35–40% | 8 | 7 | 1.95x |
| >40–45% | 9 | 6 | 1.77x |
| >45–<50% | 10 | 5 | 1.61x |
| 50% or more | ALL | 0 | 1.00x (full reset) |
- Buying tokens never reduces Heat.
- Pending rewards stay available until they expire.
- Your Agent stays linked and keeps its strategy. It recalculates its next action from the new Heat.
- Anti-exploit. Sales are added up over a rolling 24 hours. Only the new penalty levels are charged, so splitting a sale into small pieces never avoids the penalty and the same level is never charged twice. Example: sell 10% (-2), then another 10% within 24h. The total is 20%, so 2 more Burns are lost (4 in total).
Planned rule. The final detection and aggregation will be specified with the contracts. Estimate your own case with the Sell Impact calculator on the Dashboard.

BASALT AGENTS
Agents are a planned, optional feature. An Agent will automate your Claim and Burn decisions with fixed rules you choose.
- Peak Heat · burn until 15/15, then claim and repeat
- Target Heat · burn until your target multiplier, then claim and repeat
- Custom · burn 1 to 15 cycles you choose, then claim and repeat
Each Agent will show its Status (Active or Paused), Strategy, Current Heat, Target Heat, Next Action, Last Action and Automation Status.
- If you sell, your Burn Streak and Heat are recalculated and the Agent follows the new values. It never keeps acting on the old ones.
- Expired rewards never advance a strategy's Burn count.
- One Agent per wallet. Owning one adds no Reward Weight, Heat or rewards.
Agents: Coming Soon. Agent purchase, authorization and automation will be available once the protocol contracts launch. An Agent will follow the same 60-minute deadlines as a manual decision and will never process an expired reward.

BURN MECHANISM
When you choose Burn, the reward will be permanently destroyed on-chain instead of sent to you. Burned tokens leave circulation and cannot be recovered.
- Each Burn adds one level of Heat (+10%), up to 15.
- The site shows Total BASALT Burned, Burned This Cycle and Total Burn Events.
- Supply Reduction is the share of the 1,000,000,000 total supply that has been burned.
The Burn Controller is a planned component. Burns will be executed by the protocol contracts once they launch.

FAQ
What are the trading fees?
3% in total. 1% goes to Stockereum and 2% to the BASALT Protocol.
Does the team receive trading fees?
No. The creator and team allocation from trading fees is 0%.
What does Burn do?
Burn will permanently destroy the reward tokens instead of sending them to you, and raise your Heat by 10%.
What happens when I Claim?
You will receive the reward and your Heat will reset to 1.00x.
What if I miss a cycle?
The reward will expire, but your Heat and Burn Streak will stay unchanged.
What happens if I sell?
Your Heat will decrease by the percentage sold: each 5% (rounded up) costs one Burn. Selling 50% or more fully resets your progression. Buying never reduces Heat.
When will Agents be available?
Agents are planned for launch. They will automate Claim and Burn with the strategy you choose, once the protocol contracts are live.
Are the contracts live?
Not yet. The contracts are under development and launching soon. The contract address will be shown on this site once it is live.
Do I need a wallet to explore?
No. Only personal actions need one. Connecting shares your public address only.
