What is MarsBase?

MarsBase brings real-world financial assets to Starknet — starting with tokenized NASDAQ stocks, BTC yield products, and private equity. Every token is backed 1:1 by the underlying asset, held through regulated custodians, and verified daily on-chain via Proof-of-Reserve.

No middlemen. No trading hours. Full DeFi composability.

Core Principles

• Permissionless — trade without gatekeepers, 24/7
• Fully backed — every token is redeemable for the real asset
• Transparent — daily on-chain Proof-of-Reserve
• Composable — use tokenized assets across Starknet DeFi (lending, LPing, strategies)
• Built on Starknet — near-zero fees, zk-rollup security, Ethereum settlement

Products

MarsBase offers three core product lines, each tokenized on Starknet for 24/7 trading and full DeFi composability.

Tokenized NASDAQ Stocks

Trade tokenized versions of top US equities directly on Starknet. Each token represents a 1:1 claim on the underlying share, held in a regulated brokerage account within a dedicated SPV.

How it works

1. An SPV (Special Purpose Vehicle) purchases and holds real shares
2. MarsBase mints corresponding tokens on Starknet
3. Daily Proof-of-Reserve is posted on-chain
4. Tokens trade freely on Ekubo DEX
5. Holders can redeem tokens for cash value at any time (with KYC)

reBTC — Tokenized BTC Yield

Earn ~20% APY on your BTC through a tokenized yield strategy managed by professional fund managers, leveraging institutional-grade BTC strategies.

Why Starknet?

DeFi Integrations

MarsBase tokens are designed to be first-class citizens across Starknet DeFi:

Providing Liquidity

Why LP for tokenized stocks?

• Real yield — earn trading fees from actual stock trading, not inflationary rewards
• Real-asset exposure — LP in pools like tTSLA/USDC or tNVDA/BTC
• Early mover advantage — low competition, high opportunity
• Diversification — add non-crypto assets to your DeFi portfolio
• Revenue share — earn a portion of tokenization and redemption fees

How to provide liquidity

1. Connect wallet — Braavos or Argent
2. Choose a pool — e.g. tTSLA/USDC, tNVDA/BTC
3. Add liquidity — deposit tokens, receive LP tokens
4. Earn — trading fees + STRK rewards (DeFi Spring) + loyalty rewards
