Alpha Base Index

ABX is an index token on Base created by Altcoinist within the Reserve protocol framework, bundling roughly 20 selected assets from the Base ecosystem so a single token gives diversified exposure.

A decentralized autonomous organization governs it: holders of a vote-locked governance asset set constituents and weights, and proposals execute after a timelock and guardian review. Fees include a 2% annualized management fee and a 0.3% mint fee, shared between governance stakers and the protocol. Net asset value is computed from weighted constituent prices, and minting or redeeming executes at NAV plus or minus fees, letting arbitrageurs close primary-secondary gaps. Constituent changes are announced in advance, with outgoing weights stepped to zero to limit impact. Initial weights spread across four narratives, AI, DeFi, real-world assets and community culture, with rebalancing recorded on-chain.
