# Basket units

Basket units are how basket.fun tracks user ownership inside a basket.

They are not a freely traded token in the MVP. Users cannot send them to another wallet or trade them on a secondary market. They exist inside the app’s accounting system and represent the user’s share of the basket.

The number of units a user receives depends on the actual value that settles into the basket.

```
units minted = actual settled value / current unit price
```

For the first deposit into a new basket, the unit price can start at 1 USDC. After that, the unit price changes as the value of the basket changes.

This model matters because quotes are only estimates. The final result depends on settled fills, not on the preview shown before execution.

A useful rule:

```
Quotes are estimates.
Settled fills are the source of truth.
```
