BG

BaseGold (BG) is a deflationary cryptocurrency built on Base, the Layer 2 Ethereum network developed by Coinbase. Launched in December 2025, BaseGold introduces an extreme scarcity model with a fixed supply of only 10,000 tokens, making it 2,100 times scarcer than Bitcoin's 21 million supply cap. The project positions itself as the inverse of Bitcoin — while Bitcoin mines new tokens into circulation, BaseGold burns tokens out of existence through six distinct deflationary mechanisms.

The project is built on OpenZeppelin's audited ERC-20 smart contract implementation, incorporating ERC20Burnable and Ownable extensions, with security review by Blockaid. All contracts are verified on BaseScan, allowing full transparency and public code review. BaseGold operates on Base Network, inheriting Ethereum's security guarantees while benefiting from near-zero transaction fees and sub-second confirmation times.

BaseGold implements a multi-layered deflationary tokenomics model through six burn mechanisms: voluntary holder burns, MineSwap DEX autonomous buyback-and-burn, mine plot purchases, in-game shop purchases, Gold Vein referral burns, and Golden Council protocol burns. All burns are recorded on-chain and publicly verifiable. This constant deflationary pressure across every layer of the ecosystem ensures the already limited supply can only decrease over time.

The token distribution allocates 80% (8,000 BG) to seven operational categories including MineSwap DEX infrastructure and liquidity pools, seasonal prize pools, DeFi lending integration, ecosystem development, marketing, and team allocation. The remaining 20% (2,000 BG) is distributed across liquidity pools on seven decentralized exchanges: Uniswap, SushiSwap, Aerodrome, PancakeSwap, Alienbase, SwapBased, and DackieSwap. Liquidity pairs are provisioned against ETH, BTC, LTC, and XRP, anchoring BaseGold to established store-of-value assets.

The BaseGold ecosystem comprises four integrated systems. MineSwap is a purpose-built five-contract decentralized exchange featuring an autonomous buyback-and-burn engine and trader cashback rebate system. The Mine is an interactive mining application where each 0.10 BG purchase mints a personalized ERC-721 NFT mine plot with dynamic on-chain metadata, seasonal tournaments, and a competitive leaderboard. Gold Vein is a seven-tier on-chain referral protocol distributing 95% of every activation fee across the referral chain, with 5% permanently burned. The Golden Council is a governance body requiring just 1 BG for membership, granting voting rights on MineSwap fee ratios, burn scheduling, treasury disbursements, and protocol direction through Snapshot.org.

The project roadmap includes four phases. Phase 1 (completed) covered smart contract deployment, multi-DEX liquidity establishment, documentation, DexScreener Enhanced listing, and CoinMarketCap listing. Phase 2 (in progress) focuses on MineSwap DEX deployment, The Mine application with NFT mine plot minting, OpenSea marketplace integration, Golden Council governance activation, and centralized exchange listings. Phase 3 targets DeFi integration including Aave lending protocol, airdrop distribution tied to mine plot metadata, a staking platform with tiered reward periods, and cross-chain expansion evaluation. Phase 4 aims to expand the ecosystem through tokenized real-world asset liquidity pairs, merchant payment integrations, NFT collections, Tier 1 exchange listings, and mobile application deployment.

BaseGold aims to function as a deflationary digital store-of-value asset, combining mathematical scarcity with modern blockchain infrastructure and utility-driven burn economics. The project emphasizes transparent operations, verified smart contracts, trustless execution, and community-driven governance rather than speculative positioning.

The smart contract address is 0x36b712A629095234F2196BbB000D1b96C12Ce78e on Base Network. The full whitepaper (v2.0) is available at basegold.io.
