BAQ is the BotRadix token on Base. Holding BAQ unlocks higher bot limits on the platform, and BAQ can be deposited on the DEX as supplementary collateral.

Caution
Always verify the contract address above before buying or receiving BAQ. Tokens with the same name at other addresses are not BAQ.
Access tiers#
Bot limits depend on the USD value of the BAQ you hold in your linked wallet. Nothing is spent or locked: you are not buying a plan, and if you sell your BAQ your limits adjust.
| BAQ value (USD) | Quant bots | Total pairs | Grid bots |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | 1 | 1 | 0 |
| 50 | 1 | 3 | 0 |
| 100 | 2 | 6 | 1 |
| 150 | 2 | 10 | 1 |
| 250 | 3 | 15 | 1 |
| 400 | 4 | 20 | 2 |
| 600 | 5 | 30 | 2 |
| 800 | 6 | 40 | 3 |
| 1,000 | 8 | 50 | 4 |
| 1,500 | 10 | 75 | 5 |
| 2,000 | 15 | 100 | 8 |
| 10,000 | 30 | 300 | 20 |
- Free on the BotRadix DEX: the 20, 50 and 100 USD tiers (up to 2 Quant bots, 6 pairs and 1 Grid) are available without BAQ for bots that trade on the BotRadix DEX.
- Bots on Hyperliquid or Uniswap require a verified BAQ value of at least 20 USD; Grid requires the 100 USD tier.
- The 10,000 USD tier also unlocks the 1-minute and 3-minute timeframes for Quant.
- Limits count every active bot of the account.
How the value is checked#
- Link your wallet in Settings with a free signature (the request expires after 5 minutes). One wallet per account.
- The value is your BAQ balance multiplied by a conservative price: the lower of the current PairForge price and 1.05 times the median of up to thirteen available valid 5-minute closes (with no closes, the current price is used).
- The balance is re-read every 30 minutes by default (a configurable interval), and immediately when you start or resume a bot or refresh manually. A failed query may temporarily keep the last verified tier.
If a successful check shows your tier going down, extra Quant bots are paused and extra Grids are stopped; no position is closed automatically. After the value rises again, resume them manually.
BAQ as DEX collateral#
Depositing BAQ on the BotRadix DEX adds extra margin in cross margin; under the code in force your BAQ is not sold to cover losses:
- Extra margin. Your BAQ adds a credit to your equity of up to 5% of its value, with two limits: 20% of your eligible USDC and what remains of the 70% usable BAQ reserve after other accounts' commitments. The value uses the valid oracle price discounted by confidence.
- Your BAQ is not sold to cover losses. The code in force does not sell or consume your deposited BAQ: if a loss exceeds your USDC, the part covered by the credit is paid in USDC from committed reserve backing. This does not remove BAQ price risk, contract failure risk or administrator logic changes during the open phase.
- Lower liquidation risk. The credit adds to your equity, so your cross positions have more room before reaching the liquidation level.
- Public values with limits in the contract. The 5%, the 20% and the 70% maximum use of the reserve are the v2.2 reference values, readable on chain. The administrator can adjust them within the limits of the code in force of the CrossMargin contract (at most 20%, 50% and 90%), every change is public on Base, and it applies immediately to existing accounts. Sealing is planned by component and inactive: the profile without administration freezes these values, but with a gate and a committed minimum of at least 72 hours the code permits reductions with notice, including for existing accounts.
- Reserve capacity. With the v2.2 reference configuration, 10% of opening fees and isolated liquidation penalties goes to the BAQ reserve. The split is adjustable. Payments of backed losses can reduce it, so activity does not guarantee more available credit; check its balance and commitments.
| Example (with enough reserve) | Amount |
|---|---|
| USDC deposited | 1,000 USDC |
| BAQ deposited | Conservative value of 5,000 USDC (valid price discounted by confidence), with sufficient reserve backing |
| 5% of the BAQ value | 250 USDC |
| 20% of the USDC | 200 USDC |
| BAQ credit (the smaller) | 200 USDC |
| Equity for cross margin | 1,200 USDC |
The credit needs a valid BAQ price from the oracle (10 seconds old or less, open session and accepted confidence) and applies only to cross margin: isolated positions use only their own margin. See Collateral.

Nature of BAQ#
BAQ is the utility token of the BotRadix ecosystem: its value lies in what it lets you do on the platform, from unlocking more automation to adding margin on the DEX. It is not a share in BotRadix and gives no right to dividends or yield. Like any crypto asset, its price can move sharply. See the Terms (section on BAQ) and Risks.
