Hi community, We understand that there is some confusion in timings for ending of gold emissions. Emissions for gold for trading & PUP has been distributed already; no more Gold will be distributed for these 2 categories. Prediction market gold will be distributed tomorrow when the epoch ends. Everything will go on as per normal.

BASED Season 2 Wrap Up gBased all, As we wrap up Season 2 of Gold farming, with an end date of 3rd January, we are fast approaching an inflection point for the future of Based. The time has come to not only reward our loyal users, but also for our team to craft a token experience unique to us. With immediate effect from 3rd January, Season 2 Gold will no longer be distributed. $BASED will be launched within Q1 of 2026, and the Based team will be focusing efforts on items that are key for launch in the meantime. Efforts have been made to sift through trading records to identify Based-aligned users. Link to X
