Vaults are deployed on Robinhood Chain (chain ID 4663). Every vault address is published with its launch, so backing can be read directly from the chain rather than taken on trust.

In a normal launch, the money raised goes to the team and the token is a claim on nothing. Here the money capitalizes a vault, the token is a claim on that vault, and the team draws from escrow only as milestones are met.

The practical difference shows up when a project stalls. An unbacked token is worth whatever sentiment says it is, which is usually very little. A backed token still holds its basket, and redemption still works.

If all you want is index exposure, buy the index — that is genuinely the better trade. A backed launch is for when you want exposure to a project as well, and want the downside of that bet to stop at the collateral rather than at zero.

Backing per token is the vault basket value divided by tokens outstanding. It is the amount you receive per token if you redeem, and comparing it against market price tells you exactly what premium you are paying for the project itself.

Any project willing to meet the Vault Standard: fund a vault from the raise, publish a milestone schedule before opening, accept escrowed founder allocations, and leave redemption permanently open. Applications are reviewed against that same checklist regardless of size or sector.

Every live vault is published with its address, basket and backing ratio. You can read the underwriting rules in the Vault Standard, review each launch in the launch notices, and track backing across every vault on the vault dashboard, or follow us on X.
