Floors

How far into
the basement
you are.

Ten floors. Signal builds into depth.

Deeper floors unlock real capabilities, not cosmetics. New users on the surface. Veterans in the deep basement. Every floor is earned over weeks and months, never bought.

How signal is earned

Actions earn signal. Accuracy multiplies it.

Good annotations earn signal. Accurate calls multiply it. Bad-faith notes cost you. Claiming a badge reaches Stairwell and pushes you almost to Landing, but never skips it. Decay trims signal weekly if you go inactive. You cannot grind and coast. See the full point breakdown.

The ten floors

Every floor unlocks capability, not cosmetics

Most users will live in floors 1 to 4. The deep basement is rare by design. Every step down adds a real capability: flagging fakes, tuning your Baseling, moderation tools, platform governance.

Depth is the moat

Can't be bought. Can't be grinded.

Floor 6+ takes months of real contribution. Premium subscribers get faster Baselings and deeper memory, never deeper floors. That scarcity is what makes following a deep-basement wallet feel valuable.
Depth is earned

Floor 6+ takes months of real contribution. You cannot buy it, grind it in a weekend, or fake it with bots.

Decay prevents coasting

Signal drops if you go inactive. Depth stays, but your live score doesn't carry you forever. The product stays loud.

Premium accelerates how you experience Basement, never what you've earned.

Start on the street. Find your floor.

Install Basement on iOS, or Basement Light on Chrome. Your signal starts the first time you drop a note on a page.
