Axiom Base
Onchain options. Base mainnet. AXB token.
1 · What is Axiom Base?
Axiom Base is a decentralized options trading protocol on Base mainnet. You buy short-dated CALL and PUT contracts on crypto, stocks and commodities — settled with the AXB token and priced live by onchain oracle feeds.
No order books, no counter-parties to chase: every contract is a fixed-cost bet on where an asset will trade by a chosen expiry date.
2 · How options work
CALL: A right to profit if the price goes UP above the strike at expiry.
PUT: A right to profit if the price goes DOWN below the strike at expiry.
Strike: The price threshold the asset must cross for the contract to pay out.
Premium: The fixed amount of AXB you pay to open a contract. This is your maximum loss.
Position Size: Units of the underlying asset per contract (e.g. AXB-BTC = 5 BTC per contract).
Contract: A single unit of the option. Buy 1, 3, 5 or 10 at once.
Settlement: At expiry, the onchain oracle price is used to settle the contract automatically.
Early Exit: You can SELL a position before expiry at its live market value — intrinsic value (spot vs strike distance) plus a time-decay component.
3 · Examples
- BTC trades at $60,000. You buy 1 AXB-BTC CALL 7D at strike $63,000.
- Premium: 12 AXB. Position size: 5 BTC.
- At expiry, BTC = $66,000 → payoff = ($66,000 − $63,000) × 5 × 1 = $15,000 worth in AXB.
- Net profit ≈ payoff − premium.
- ETH trades at $3,000. You buy 3 AXB-ETH PUT 14D at strike $2,850.
- Premium: 8 AXB per contract × 3 = 24 AXB.
- At expiry, ETH = $2,700 → payoff = ($2,850 − $2,700) × 20 × 3 in AXB.
- If ETH closes above $2,850 you lose only the 24 AXB premium. Nothing more.
- Bought an AXB-SOL CALL 30D for 6 AXB. After 5 days the contract is worth 11 AXB.
- Hit SELL on the position to lock in 11 AXB now instead of waiting for expiry.

Early Exit: You are never locked in. Sell your position at any time before expiry and receive the current market value of your contract.
