BASIS

From registry to verification network

Status labels are part of the methodology here too: live means shipped and verifiable today; planned means committed engineering; research means under active design with open questions; draft means published for critique. Nothing on this page is a promise of token value, returns, or timing.

PHASE 00

Launch registry

5/6 live

Establish the public record: claims labeled against evidence, scores computed in the open, hashes that cannot quietly change.

  • First audit — Base AI Claims Audit: 9 projects, 41 labeled claimslive
  • Project dossiers with evidence records and Claim Reliability Indexlive
  • Free API + MCP server (agents consume the same evidence as humans)live
  • x402 premium route — 402 challenges live; USDC settlement on production facilitator configlive
  • Correction process with public changelog and 2-business-day acknowledgmentlive
  • Report anchoring in the append-only BasisReportRegistry (Base Sepolia first)planned
PHASE 01

Coverage expansion

0/5 live

Widen the lens: more projects, more onchain ground truth, a re-check cadence that keeps every label current.

  • Additional Base AI projects beyond the seed nineplanned
  • x402 seller-address coverage — sybil-adjusted seller metrics from the indexer pipelineplanned
  • x402 settlement classification (EIP-3009 selector analysis) in productionplanned
  • Published quarterly re-check cadence with lastChecked sweepsplanned
  • Source-monitoring pipeline: claim-relevant events trigger re-checksresearch
PHASE 02

Marketplace integrations

0/5 live

Put verification where decisions happen: inside agent loops, wallets, and marketplaces — before the payment, not after the loss.

  • Agent-marketplace trust layer: claim checks surfaced at listing/purchase timeresearch
  • Wallet and agent pre-checks — spend-time label lookups via MCP/APIresearch
  • MCP client integrations beyond Claude (Codex, Gemini, custom stacks)planned
  • API licensing for exchanges, funds, and diligence platformsplanned
  • Structured diligence workflows on the registry dataplanned
PHASE 03

Tokenized verification market

0/10 live

Research phase. A possible $BASIS token that lets anyone request, prioritize, fund, or challenge verification work — under hard constraints that keep outcomes unbuyable. Nothing in this phase is launched, promised, or an offer.

  • Virtuals Stage 1 — Basis agent profile (read-only verification lookups; operator runbook + profile copy ready)planned
  • Virtuals Stage 2 — ACP service listings (USDC, x402-compatible, corrections always free)planned
  • Venue conflict regime — Basis audits Virtuals; disclosure + instrumentation, never recusalplanned
  • Public audit-request mechanism (burn-to-request, no outcome guarantee)research
  • Public work queue with capped, logarithmic priority weighting + guaranteed free editorial trackresearch
  • Challenge bonds routing into the existing corrections process (bad-faith-only slashing)research
  • Source/coverage curation staking (signal only)research
  • Reviewer reputation — non-transferable, separate from any tokenresearch
  • Anti-capture safeguards: parameter-only governance, never findingsresearch
  • Draft economic model published for public critiquedraft
PHASE 04

Protocolization

0/5 live

Long-horizon: the registry outgrows its operator. Standards, attestations, and a reviewer network make the evidence layer durable.

  • Decentralized reviewer network with staked, adjudicated workresearch
  • Onchain attestations for claims and scores (EAS on Base)research
  • Reproducible evidence bundles — third parties re-derive every labelresearch
  • Governance over parameters, never over findingsresearch
  • Safe/multisig publisher model for the report registryplanned

Phase 3 is planning, not a launch: $BASIS is a planned work-request token — no contract exists, no date is set, and no mechanism described here can buy, alter, or suppress a label. The position change from the original no-token stance is public and versioned (RFC-001) — see the draft economic model and the whitepaper.
