House rules

Three rules the underground never crosses.

01

Never pay for depth.

Floors cannot be bought, gifted, or accelerated. Signal must be earned through real contribution. Subscriptions accelerate how you experience Basement, never what you've earned.

02

Free is fully functional.

The core loop (read, annotate, earn, climb) works end to end without a subscription. Paid tiers add convenience, not access. Basement is not freemium crippleware.

03

Depth visible, tier hidden.

Your floor and your Keys are public. Your subscription tier never shows. The status you wear is always the one you earned, not the one you paid for.

The door is always open. Dig as deep as you want.

Install Basement, earn signal, climb floors. Upgrade later if you want to move faster. The underground is free to enter.
