As the demand for $BASED tokens increases, the number of $BASED tokens you own increases. If the demand decreases, the number of $BASED tokens you own decreases[\\[3\\]](#cite-id-rwnu14618hf)[\\[4\\]](#cite-id-v9h6pare48q).  \n  \n# Rebase function  \n  \nThe BASED protocol’s rebase function queries a Uniswap v2 oracle to compare the price of $BASED to $sUSD. This function cannot execute more than once every 24 hours.  \n  \nIf the price difference between $sUSD and $BASED is more than 5% in either direction, this triggers a rebase event. Above the 5% threshold, the supply expands. Below the 5% threshold, the supply contracts.  \n  \nWhen a rebase event is triggered, $BASED supply for all holders is adjusted smoothly over a ten-day period in an attempt to meet the targeted value of 1 $BASED to 1 $sUSD. For all accounts that own $BASED tokens, a rebasing can either result in an increase or decrease in their balance of $BASED.  \n  \nAfter a minimum of 24 hours, if the $BASED:$sUSD price is still not within the 5% target boundary, a rebase opportunity again becomes available.  \n  \n## Rebase example  \n  \nIf the price of $BASED is $1.20 sUSD on Tuesday night and the price of $BASED is worth $1.15 in $sUSD on Wednesday night, then the rebase event can restart.  \n  \n# Yield Farming  \n  \nIf a holder has 100 $BASED tokens worth $150 sUSD before a rebase event, their account balance will be 150 $BASED at the end of the rebase event. This allows them to take advantage of future price movements.  \n  \nThis also works the other way around, which results in a lower balance. It also changes the entire dynamic behind DeFi by presenting new trading strategies.  \n  \n# Token distribution  \n  \nThe $BASED token has two separate staking pools. Pool 0 yields the initial $BASED token supply. To join this pool, a holder needs to stake Curve $sUSDv2 LP tokens through the BASED application.  \n  \nPool 1 follows similar logic as Pool 0, however, the halving period is 36 hours and the total token distribution is 75,000 $BASED over a longer period of time.  \n  \nTo join this pool, a holder must stake UsUSDBASED-V2 LP tokens that can be acquired by depositing $BASED and $sUSD into the $BASED Uniswap pool.  \n  \nRebases be will not be available until 97% of the total token supply is claimed. This period of time is a minimum of two weeks, but since this requires the community to claim their tokens through the BASED application, it could take up to a maximum of 4 weeks.  \n  \nOnce these two pools are depleted and the tokens have been distributed among holders, no more $BASED tokens can be minted. The only way the supply of $BASED tokens will change is through rebasing events.  \n  \n# Codebase  \n  \nThe source code for the $BASED token is unaudited.","summary":"Based Money (Ticker: $BASED), is a DeFi (Decentralized Finance) protocol launched on August 12,
