01Overview

Strata is a set of yield vaults on Robinhood Chain. Each vault takes one asset, ETH or USDG, runs a single strategy on it, and credits the earnings to your position without pause.

You deposit from your wallet and the vault balance grows every second at the vault rate. Withdrawing sends principal plus accrued yield back to your wallet. There is no claim step, no lockup and no withdrawal queue.

02Getting Started

1. Add Robinhood Chain to your wallet (chain id 4663, currency ETH, explorer Blockscout).
2. Keep some ETH for gas, plus the asset you intend to deposit.
3. Open the app, connect your wallet and choose a vault.
4. Enter an amount and confirm the deposit transaction. Vault shares show up in your wallet right away.

03Vaults

Each vault accepts a single asset on Robinhood Chain: ETH (the chain's gas token) or USDG, the Paxos-issued Global Dollar stablecoin. Your position earns the vault rate non-stop from the moment a deposit confirms.

Yield comes only from on-chain activity — staking rewards, lending interest and liquidity fees. No vault pays out of token emissions or out of other depositors.

03aAssets & Swap

The asset registry covers every Robinhood-issued stock and ETF token (ERC-20, 18 decimals), the majors bridged to Robinhood Chain, USDG and other stablecoins, yield-bearing tokens and every memecoin with a live DEX market. Prices come live from LI.FI and DexScreener.

Swap routes through the 0x Swap API, with LI.FI as fallback. Your wallet signs the transaction directly; the app never holds your funds. Selling an ERC-20 needs a one-time approval to the aggregator. Stock tokens trade around the clock at DEX prices, which can drift from the underlying market outside US hours.

03bOn-chain Earn

Earn lists yield venues a wallet transaction genuinely enters: ERC-4626 vaults (Morpho Steakhouse USDG, Spark spUSDG), where you approve and deposit USDG and can redeem whenever you like, and yield-bearing tokens (Maple syrupUSDG, Ethena sUSDe, Midas MGLO), where holding the token is the position because yield accrues in its price. Rates come live from DefiLlama and the issuers; venues without a public feed show no number.

Community pools let anyone put up a reward budget in any Robinhood Chain token and set a fixed APY and lock. Stakers send tokens to the pool vault, the reward is fixed at stake time and taken out of the budget so the pool can never owe more than it holds, and principal plus reward becomes claimable after the unlock date.

03cPerps

Go long or short on memecoins, tokenized stocks (Chainlink-priced), metals and energy at up to 5x, settled in ETH against a trading balance held in the treasury. Custom pairs list any DEX-traded token at 2x with creator-funded liquidity. Positions past their liquidation price are closed by a cron sweep.

04Deposits & Withdrawals

Deposit. Open the app, choose a vault and enter an amount. ETH goes as a plain transfer; USDG goes as an ERC-20 transfer. After two confirmations the deposit is credited to your position.

Withdraw. Enter an amount up to your vault balance. Accrued yield goes out first, then principal, and the payout reaches your connected wallet in the same asset.

Each vault sets its own minimum deposit and withdrawal so gas stays proportional; both are listed on the vault.

05Fees

• Performance fee — charged on yield the vault earns, taken at harvest. Never charged on principal.
• Deposit / withdrawal fee — none.
• Management fee — none.

The exact performance-fee rate is a public parameter on each vault contract and appears on the vault before you deposit. Network gas is paid by the user as usual.

06Risk Disclosure

Depositing into a vault carries risk. You may lose part or all of your deposit. Specifically:

• Smart-contract risk. Vault and strategy contracts can contain bugs, audits notwithstanding.
• Strategy risk. Underlying protocols (staking, lending, liquidity pools) can break, be exploited or change their parameters.
• Issuer risk. Tokenized stocks rely on their issuer and on the off-chain assets backing them.
• Market risk. Yield is denominated in the deposited asset, and that asset can itself fall in value.

None of this is financial advice. Deposit only what you can afford to lose.

07Contracts

The treasury address appears in the app before every deposit and will be published here ahead of launch.

08FAQ

• What exactly is a vault? A vault gathers deposits of one asset (ETH or USDG) and runs them through a single strategy. Your position earns the vault rate non-stop and stays withdrawable at any moment.
• What can I deposit? ETH and USDG on Robinhood Chain. Bridge in from Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base or Solana using the official bridge or Across, then deposit from your wallet. Tokenized-stock vaults come next.
• Are funds ever locked or queued? No. Shares redeem for the underlying whenever you want. Occasionally a strategy holds positions that need a few blocks to unwind; the vault says so before you deposit.
• How are fees charged? Only earned yield carries a performance fee. Principal is never charged a deposit, withdrawal or management fee. Per-vault rates are published in the docs and on-chain.
• Where does the yield actually come from? Staking rewards, lending interest and liquidity fees earned on-chain. Nothing comes from token emissions or from new deposits.
• What can go wrong? Smart-contract risk, strategy risk and issuer risk on tokenized assets. Read the Risk Disclosure in the docs before you deposit.
