For Holders

How Baseline benefits tokenholders with a guaranteed floor, token-owned liquidity, real yield and built-in utility.

Baseline turns a token from a liability that works against holders into an asset that works for them.

Most tokens are built on broken tokenomics and rented liquidity. That is why over 85% of tokens end up below their TGE price. When sentiment flips, liquidity disappears, holders race to the exit toward zero, and the project never recovers.

Baseline changes that structure. Each token owns its liquidity, has a visible floor price, captures value from trading activity, and gives holders built-in ways to stake, borrow, and multiply exposure.

In other words, Baseline gives holders a better game:

  1. The token owns the liquidity that supports holders.
  2. The token has a visible floor price.
  3. Trading fees flow back into the token instead of leaking out.
  4. Holders can earn trading fees by staking.
  5. Holders can borrow against the floor without selling.
  6. Holders can multiply exposure without relying on a separate lending market.

What holders get

1. Token that works for you

In a normal pool, trading activity benefits everyone except holders: LPs earn fees, market makers capture spread, and the token is left hoping new buyers keep showing up.

Baseline changes where that value goes. Because the token owns its liquidity, trading activity flows back into the token. Trading fees strengthen the floor, fund liquidity rewards, and grow the token's balance sheet instead of leaking out to third parties. The token effectively creates its own market that it captures value from and uses that value to support holders over time.

2. A guaranteed floor price

The Baseline Value (BLV) is the minimum price enforced by the Baseline Market Maker. It is backed by reserves in the pool and visible onchain.

This means holders can hold confidently, knowing the token's own liquidity acts as the ultimate backstop when the market sells off. Armed with this knowledge, traders and investors can make rational decisions to enter or exit positions without trusting any human intermediary.

3. Fees that strengthen the token

Every trade generates fees. In a normal market, much of that value leaks to outside liquidity providers or market makers. In Baseline, trading activity feeds back into the token's own system.

Fees can raise the floor, fund staking rewards, and increase the amount of value the token controls. More useful trading activity means a stronger token balance sheet that benefits all holders.

4. Earn trading rewards without the hassle

Holders can stake bTokens to earn a share of trading fees. They keep token exposure, avoid impermanent loss from traditional LP positions, and can claim rewards as they accrue.

This turns volume into a holder incentive. If the market trades, stakers get exposure to the value created by that activity.

5. Access capital without sell

Because BLV is a guaranteed floor, holders can borrow against that floor value at no interest, with an origination fee and no liquidation threshold.

Holders can access capital without fully exiting their position. They keep exposure to future upside while using the token's floor as collateral.

6. Leverage without liquidation risk

Advanced users can multiply exposure by borrowing against BLV and buying more bTokens.

Traditional leverage products require integration, and liquidity must be sourced. With Baseline, leverage emerges from the token-owned liquidity and requires no oracle dependencies. This gives holders instant utility to take directional bets and amplify gains and losses.

How to measure value

Price action is pointless if there's no liquidity to support the underlying price levels. For holders, that should matter because deep liquidity supports price during dumps, and efficient quoting during pumps reduces future supply overhang.

Simulating historical trading activity of multiple tokens, Baseline pools tend to outperform by growing more liquidity per token, absorbing more supply into the pool, and accruing more fees.
