Token — Purpose & Protections

This section describes the purpose, risk protections, and distribution of the BasePerp token (BPERP). The token’s economic role is intentionally conservative during early phases and may evolve after audits, market feedback, and governance.
9.1 Security Module & Slashing Bound
A rules-based Security Module can be activated to provide a limited backstop for clearly defined shortfall events—without socializing routine trading losses.
How it works. Participants may stake BPERP into the module. If a shortfall event that meets on-chain criteria occurs, a portion of the staked pool may be used to cover the deficit. Bounded risk. Slashing is capped by a public parameter, securitySlashCap, and any action proceeds through timelocked procedures with transparent notices. Recovery path. After an event, replenishment mechanisms (e.g., treasury allocations, temporary fee surcharges) follow published policies and timelocks.
9.2 Utility — Discounts, Boosts, Access
Utility features are budgeted to avoid balance-sheet risk while improving user economics and participation.
Fee discounts. Qualifying stakers/holders may receive reductions to the win-based fee (via profitFeeRate), subject to per-epoch caps
Incentive boosts. Non-transferable XP multipliers for stakers, with ceilings disclosed per season.
Priority access. Early access to betas or advanced UI modules. These utilities do not confer rights to revenue, equity, or governance by default.
9.3 Tokenomics
Total Supply: 6,400,000,000 BPERP (fixed at TGE). Unlock schedules are on-chain and transparent.
