Dividend baskets Most launchpads pay holder rewards in whatever the token trades against, or not at all. A BaseStonk launch designates a basket: up to ten assets, weighted however the creator likes, and every holder’s dividends arrive as those assets. A token can pay its holders in NVIDIA, in gold ETFs, in cbBTC, in $BSTONK, in an agent token - in any mix of them at once.

​
How it works

  1. The creator picks the basket at launch - up to ten assets with weights, from a menu of several hundred priceable tokens: tokenized equities and ETFs, majors and stables, Base natives, and admitted ecosystem tokens.
  2. Trading fees accrue to the distributor in the pair currency, the same way every rewards wedge has always worked.
  3. The distributor converts on-chain. Each slot derives its own route to its asset - through real pools, priced against a verified floor so a conversion can never quietly underpay. There is no keeper, no off-chain bot, and no protocol fee on conversions.
  4. Holders are paid in kind, pro-rata, automatically. Delivery pushes as people trade. There is nothing to claim - though a permissionless claim() exists for anyone who wants their accrual immediately.

​
The arithmetic - volume, not fee-share

The single most misread fact about BaseStonk dividends: they are a percentage of trading volume, not a cut of a pool’s LP fee. A creator who routes 3% to holders is routing 3% of every dollar that trades - which, over a year of ordinary activity, is a very large number relative to the token’s own market cap. A 10,000buyonthattokensends∗∗10,000 buy on that token sends **300** into the distributor, on that one trade. Volume compounds daily; market cap does not have to. The forward model, for a token paying its basket in tokenized stocks:
Worked through at a 3% holder share: That $2.2M is not more of the meme token - it is real tokenized stock, converted on-chain and pushed to holders’ wallets as people trade. That is the entire pitch.
This is arithmetic, not a promise. Volume is the input the model cannot guarantee: a token that stops trading stops paying. What the contracts do guarantee is the percentage - the hook takes it inside the swap, the split is immutable after launch, and the conversion to basket assets is floor-guarded on-chain.

​
The honest edges

  • The basket is the creator’s preference, not a guarantee of which asset arrives. A slot whose asset cannot be priced or routed at fill time pays out in the pair currency instead - visibly, never silently lost.
  • Conversions are floor-guarded: a fill that would arrive below the verified fair value is refused and retried smaller, rather than accepted badly.
  • An empty basket is simply the classic behaviour - dividends in the pair.

Where to see it

Any token whose card carries the BASKET REWARDS tag pays a basket. Its token page shows the designated assets and weights, each holder’s running totals per asset, and a breakdown of what has been received and what is waiting.
The platform’s own token participates too: launches can route a share of their rewards into the BSTONKbasketvault,whichholdsaportfoliopaidouttoBSTONK basket vault, which holds a portfolio paid out to BSTONK holders in kind.
