Terms of Service

Stonkyard is a set of smart contracts on Robinhood Chain that turns trading fees into assets for the people holding its products. Two run today. A launcher, where a coin’s trading fees are split on chain and spent on tokenised equity for the people holding that coin. And vaults, which are NFTs that receive a share of protocol revenue in the same assets.

More will follow, and these terms are written to cover them. Where a section describes a product by name it describes that product; where it describes how the protocol takes fees, holds them, and pays them out, it applies to anything the protocol does on the same model, including products launched after the date at the top of this page.

Coins launched here trade on the launchpad contract’s own curve and pool, in most cases against, or paying out in, tokenised stock issued by a third party. We do not issue those assets, operate the venues the protocol buys them on, or control either.

Everything that moves value happens on chain and is signed by your own wallet or triggered by a contract anyone can call. The contracts are owned by a timelock, not by a person, and section 4 says exactly what that means and what it does not, because that distinction is the one that matters if something goes wrong.

Nothing here is investment, financial, legal, or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold anything. Not the listings, the charts, the market caps, the reward figures, the dividend page, the parameters on the governance page, or anything we or anyone else writes on the site. We are not your broker, adviser, or fiduciary, and using the platform does not make us one.

When you buy, sell, mint, stake, claim or run an operation, the transaction is built in your browser, signed by your wallet, and submitted to Robinhood Chain. We never hold your keys. A confirmed transaction cannot be reversed by anyone, including us.

We cannot recover funds sent to a wrong address, signed into a phishing site, or lost to a compromised wallet or extension. The site simulates each transaction before asking you to sign it, but a simulation is not a guarantee: the chain can change between the simulation and the block that includes you. Check every transaction before approving it. Your keys and seed phrase are entirely your responsibility.

There are no operator wallets in the flow of funds. Every step between a trade and a payout is a contract, the contracts are owned by a timelock, and every one of them is listed on the docs page so you can watch every transaction they make. Here is what each flow actually does.

None of this makes us a bank, exchange, custodian, or deposit-taker. We do not hold an account balance for you, there is nothing to withdraw from us, and outside the treasury share your assets never touch an address we control.

A coin launched here charges a fee on every trade, on the curve and in the pool. The router splits it: the holders’ share buys the coin’s chosen asset for its holders, and the rest funds the vault pot, the buyback, the dividend, and the protocol. The rate and the split are published in the docs and shown in the launcher before you launch, and both are read from the contracts rather than typed by us.

Neither can be changed for existing or future coins without deploying a new launchpad and a new router, which would be a new protocol. Minting a vault costs a deposit that is burned and a surcharge in ETH; governance can change those for future mints through the timelock, never for a vault already minted.

Three things on this platform pay out today: coins credit their holders tokenised equity, vaults are credited a share of revenue, and $STONKYARD stakers are streamed ETH. Read this section carefully, because it defines what they are and are not — and it applies in the same way to anything the protocol pays out in future, whatever it is called and whatever it pays in.

They are mechanical features of how the software works. A payout happens when a contract’s conditions are met and somebody, anybody, sends the transaction that runs it. They are not an investment product, a dividend in the corporate sense, a revenue share, a yield product, or a security. Holding any of these assets gives you no contractual right to any payment, any amount, or any schedule.

Figures on this site describing what has been paid are historical. They are not a promise, a projection, or a basis for expecting anything in future.

Payouts can be delayed, reduced, or stop. They depend on Chainlink prices that can go stale, on Uniswap liquidity that may not exist, on stock tokens whose issuer can block or pause transfers, and on software that has not been audited by a third party and will have bugs. A distribution or a round that cannot buy a stock skips it; one that cannot buy anything does not run. Governance can retire a stock, ban a reward asset, change thresholds and caps, and pause vault mints and rounds, all through the timelock or the pauser described above. Certain addresses, including the launchpad itself and contracts a coin’s creator excludes, are excluded from distributions.

If you are buying any asset here because you expect to profit from our efforts in running this, do not buy it.

The buyback is a contract. It buys $STONKYARD on the open market and burns it in the same transaction whenever its balance clears a minimum, a cooldown has passed, and somebody sends the transaction. We may be that somebody, and so may you. We may also hold $STONKYARDand coins launched here, and we may trade them, including at the same time as the contracts that affect them are running.

Buybacks described on this site are historical. They depend on fees continuing to arrive and on somebody running them, can be re-parameterised or stopped through governance, and may support $STONKYARD’s market price above where it would otherwise be. $STONKYARD does not represent a right to revenue, buybacks, or any distribution.

Coins here are paired with, and their holders are paid in, tokenised stock issued by third parties on Robinhood Chain. That describes the market and the payout asset, and nothing else.

A coin paired against a tokenised stock is not stock and is not a derivative of stock. It is not collateralised by, redeemable for, or a claim on any share or company. It does not track and does not promise to track any price. It confers no ownership, dividend, voting, or other right against anyone.

We do not issue, custody, redeem, or guarantee any of these assets, and we are not affiliated with Robinhood, any exchange, listed company, broker-dealer, or issuer. A coin’s name, ticker, or image is chosen by whoever launched it and means nothing about what it legally is. The stock tokens carry issuer, custody, redemption, and de-pegging risks entirely outside our control. Their issuer maintains a block-list and a global pause: a blocked or paused token cannot move, which means a vault’s custody account, a coin, or the protocol itself can be left holding stock it cannot deliver, and payouts in it stop until the issuer says otherwise. The protocol cannot prevent or reverse that.

A vault is an NFT. Minting one burns a deposit, which is destroyed rather than held for you — it is not refundable and there is nothing to redeem it against. A vault is credited a share of protocol revenue in the assets in rotation at the time, subject to everything in section 6.

A vault is live from the moment it is minted and needs nothing opened or activated. The rotation can change through governance: a stock added later is earned from the first round that buys it, and a stock retired from the rotation is no longer bought but everything already credited in it stays claimable. A vault minted just before a round takes the same share of it as every other vault.

Vaults can be sold on secondary markets we do not operate. Everything a vault has accumulated transfers with the NFT, including its custody account and anything credited but not yet collected. A royalty is set on the collection and paid to the pot; whether a marketplace honours it is up to the marketplace.

Anyone can launch here, and the contracts do not ask us. We do not vet, audit, or endorse coins, creators, or anything they claim, and a listing is not evidence that something is genuine or safe. Scams, impersonation and rug pulls are known risks of permissionless launch platforms. Verify independently.

We reserve the right to hide any listing from this site and to refuse to display any content, at our discretion — particularly for suspected fraud, impersonation, manipulation, or legal risk. Hiding a listing removes nothing from the blockchain and changes nothing about how the contracts treat that coin: it still trades, its fees are still split, and its holders are still credited. The only on-chain lever is governance banning a reward asset, which goes through the timelock and is public.

When you launch a coin you supply its name, ticker and, optionally, an image that is written into the chain permanently and cannot be edited or removed by anyone. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to display, reproduce and distribute that content in operating and promoting the platform. You promise you hold the rights to it, and that it does not impersonate any person or organisation or infringe anyone’s trademark, copyright or other rights.

Do not use Stonkyard to break the law. Do not manipulate markets, including wash trading, sandwiching the protocol’s own swaps beyond what its slippage bounds allow, and launching coins designed to deceive buyers. Do not attack, probe, or attempt to exploit the contracts, the site, or their integrations. Do not use it to evade sanctions or launder money. We can restrict or terminate access to the site for any of this without warning you first; the contracts themselves do not know who you are.

You may use Stonkyard only if you are of legal age where you live and only where doing so is lawful. You may not use it if you are located in, incorporated in, or resident in a jurisdiction subject to comprehensive sanctions, or if you appear on a sanctions or restricted-party list. We may restrict access to the site from any jurisdiction at any time.

Whether any of this is lawful for you — including whether a coin, a vault, $STONKYARD, or a tokenised stock is treated as a security or a derivative where you live — depends on where you are, and knowing that is your responsibility.

Coins launched here, especially new ones, can be extremely volatile and illiquid. Prices can go to zero quickly, without warning and without recovery. Thin liquidity means small trades can move prices violently. Only risk what you can afford to lose entirely.

The contracts have been reviewed internally and are covered by tests, but they have not been audited by an independent third party. Treat them as unaudited software. They are not upgradeable; a bug that is found cannot be patched in place, only worked around through governance where the design allows it.

The platform depends on infrastructure we do not control: Robinhood Chain and its sequencer, Uniswap, Chainlink price feeds, the issuers of every stock token it pays out in, and the RPC providers this site reads from. Any of them can have bugs, exploits, outages, or errors, and so can we. There is no sequencer-uptime feed on Robinhood Chain, so a stale price is only caught by the feed’s own heartbeat. Prices, charts and figures shown here can be delayed or wrong. Do not trade on them as though they were guaranteed accurate.

The platform, the contracts and everything on the site is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and accuracy.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we accept no liability arising from the platform or anything launched, traded, or paid out on it — including lost funds, lost profits, lost data, and indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages — however caused, even if we were told it was possible.

Some jurisdictions do not allow some of these exclusions, so parts of this may not apply to you. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot legally be excluded, including for fraud or wilful misconduct, or limits a consumer right the law says cannot be waived.

If we are sued or fined because of your coin, your content, your trading, or your breach of these terms or the law, you will defend us and cover the losses and reasonable legal costs. “Us” includes our entity, operators, employees and contributors.

When these change we will update the date at the top, and for material changes we will post a notice on the site. Changes apply from when they are posted and are not retroactive. If you keep using the platform after a change takes effect, the new terms apply to you. If you do not agree with one, stop using the platform. The contracts do not change when these terms do.

If part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest stands. Not enforcing a term is not waiving it. You cannot assign these terms; we can, to a successor of the platform. Sections 4 to 9, 15 and 16 survive termination. These terms are the whole agreement between us about the platform.
