Protocol

Escrow & fund safety

Smart contract protection for all parties

All funds are held in dedicated smart contract escrow, controlled by code, not individuals. Transparent, verifiable protection for founders and backers.

How escrow works

Receives each tranche
Funding assembly: backers deposit ETH into a per-raise escrow vault holding seven time-released tranches (10% kickstart at finalization, then 15% monthly through day 180). 15% of the raise branches to the liquidity reserve at finalization and is locked permanently. Each monthly release passes a 72-hour challenge gate: no challenge or a denied challenge fires the release to the founder; a filed challenge holds it until the ruling, and an upheld one freezes the raise.
Challenger stakes tokens · 20% slash if denied
7-day cooldown per address
Thresholds · 0.25% (T0–T2) · 0.50% (T3–T4) · 1.00% (T5–T6)
LP · 15% of raised ETH + tokens @ backer price −5% → Aerodrome (Base) or Uniswap v3 (Robinhood Chain) · locked permanently

Full transparency

Every contract, balance and transaction is public on the chains' explorers: Basescan for Base and Blockscout for Robinhood Chain. The Base contracts' source is verified there, so anyone can inspect the logic, verify balances and track every transaction.
