Introduction
Altitude isn’t just a token; it’s a DeFi ecosystem committed to delivering long-term value, sustainability, and consistent rewards for its holders. Built on the Base Chain (Ethereum Layer 2), Altitude stands out as a deflationary rewards token. With mechanisms that stabilize price through reduced circulating supply and enable holders to earn passive USDC rewards, Altitude aligns with its vision to become one of the most rewarding DeFi tokens.
Our tokenomics and tax mechanisms encourage long-term holding, while external revenue streams, including the innovative Mountain Wallet and EVEREST Vault, are utilized to sustain and grow the ecosystem. From day one, Altitude’s model generates external inflows, ensuring that every holder participates in the project's success.
This Litepaper provides an overview of Altitude’s core elements, including tokenomics, liquidity pools, reward programs, and our roadmap for the future.
Why Altitude?

By leveraging innovative reward systems, tax allocation, and strategic partnerships, Altitude delivers consistent value to its holders while fostering a thriving, engaged community.

To strengthen the Altitude ecosystem, the Altitude/USDC liquidity pool has been launched on BaseSwap. This pool offers several benefits for holders:
-
BSX Rewards: Liquidity providers earn BSX tokens as rewards, which can be staked or reinvested for additional yields.
-
Deflationary Supply: With over 384,000 BSX tokens burned, the deflationary mechanics enhance long-term scarcity and value.
-
Mountain Growth: 10% of all BSX rewards purchased are sent to the Mountain Wallet and staked, contributing to the growth of the ecosystem.
Rewards for LP providers will go live on February 2nd, 2025, Altitude’s 1st birthday!
EVEREST Vault: Monthly USDC Dividends
The EVEREST Vault is a game-changing addition to Altitude’s utility, enabling holders to earn monthly USDC dividends. Starting March 2025, rewards will be distributed during the first week of each month.
How It Works:
-
Mountain Wallet Contributions: A portion of the yield generated by the Mountain Wallet is allocated to the EVEREST Vault, ensuring consistent USDC inflows.
-
Transaction Tax Allocation: A percentage of every transaction funds the EVEREST Vault, directly supporting dividend payouts.
Dividends are claimable by holders based on their proportion of ALTITUDE holdings. For example, if a holder owns 2% of the total circulating supply, they’ll receive 2% of the vault’s balance.
Revenue Strategy
Altitude’s sustainability relies on generating external inflows and utilizing them to benefit the community.
-
Mountain Wallet: This treasury generates yield through strategic investments, with profits reinvested to support token buybacks, burns, marketing and liquidity.
-
EVEREST Vault: Revenue from taxes and the Mountain Wallet provides USDC dividends for holders.
These mechanisms ensure sustainable growth without excessive token emissions, preserving Altitude’s value over time.

Altitude leverages Merkl, an advanced DeFi platform that enables efficient and secure reward distribution. With Merkl, users can:
-
Earn rewards without staking LP tokens or assets.
-

-
Enjoy seamless participation in the ecosystem with minimal complexity.
Merkl is widely used across DeFi, offering Altitude greater visibility and accessibility to new users.
