# Basedrop Campaign

## What is Hydrex's Basedrop?

As part of Hydrex’s initial decentralization of protocol voting & earning power, users can participate in **the Basedrop**, a limited-time program designed to reward early adopters and contributors with long-term upside in the ecosystem.

There are 2 ways users can participate:

1. **Protocol Mining** - By providing liquidity and engaging with the platform, users earn Hydropoints, a non-transferable metric of onchain participation. These Hydropoints can later be redeemed for veHYDX, giving users a permanent stake in protocol rewards and emissions governance.
2. **Base Badges** - Users can collect badges by completing community-specific quests, verifying Base ecosystem alignment, or participating in targeted campaigns. Badges are redeemable for veHYDX based on the specific activity or community.

## Why Basedrop?

Hydrex believes that the builders and do-ers on Base deserve to own a piece of the protocol designed for them. That's why we've allocated a significant chunk of our initial token supply directly to Base participants—users, projects, and stakeholders who are actively contributing to the ecosystem's growth.

Our approach stands in direct opposition to the extractive culture of quick-flip tokens down-only airdrops. Instead of creating another speculative asset, we're focused on **empowering existing Base tokens and communities for sustainable, long-term growth.**

The Basedrop is a deliberate transfer of protocol ownership to the people who matter most: those building, trading, and believing in Base's future. By earning Hydropoints and collecting Base Badges, participants gain permanent voting and earning power through veHYDX, creating aligned incentives between individual success and ecosystem health.

## Want to Get involved?

Hydrex's Basedrop campaign is open to partner protocols and communities looking to activate their users during our launch phase.&#x20;

Partners can:

* Issue custom Badges for their users
* Run quests within the campaign hub to boost engagement
* Help source liquidity on Base

Hydrex is designed to amplify Base-native projects, and we’re actively onboarding aligned partners for this launch window.
