Vulpes
First ever Robinhood Chain compounding protocol

Earn fees on stocks and memecoins.We keep you in range.

Park your money in a narrow price band and you earn several times more from every trade that passes through it. The catch is that the price drifts out of that band, and you stop earning until someone moves it back. Vulpes moves it back for you.

The catch

Tight bands earn more. They also fall out of range.

Liquidity only earns while the price sits inside the band you set. Squeeze the band and your money does far more work — the same dollar can do the job of a hundred. Squeeze it too far and the price walks out within hours, and you earn nothing until it is reset.

Doing that by hand means watching a chart at three in the morning. Most people give up and widen the band until it barely earns, which defeats the point of concentrating in the first place.

There is a second catch, and most launchpads do not mention it. While your band sits on a price the market has already moved past, someone trades against it before you can follow. That cost scales with concentration exactly as the fees do, so the two cancel — which means whether a pool is worth providing liquidity to at all is decided by the pool, not by how tightly you squeeze. Our numbers subtract it. On most pools on this chain today, the answer that leaves is negative, and the app says so.

How it works

Four steps, then it runs itself.

24 tokenized stock and fund pools and 68 crypto pools are live on Robinhood Chain right now, and they run on exactly the same rails. The only difference is width: a memecoin moves several times faster than a stock, so it needs a wider band before the fees outrun the cost of resetting. The app measures each pool's own volatility and says so while you are setting it up.

1

Pick a pool

A tokenized stock or a memecoin, paired with a stablecoin. Each pair gets its own vault.

2

Set how tight you want it

A tight band earns more per dollar but needs resetting more often. Move one slider and watch both sides update.

3

Bots do the resetting

Operators put up a deposit to earn the right to reset your position. Reset it badly and they lose that deposit.

4

Take your money out anytime

There is no lock-up. Withdrawing pulls your share straight out of the live position and hands both assets back.

Two ways to use it

Chase the yield, or just leave it alone.

The same vault does both. It is one slider, and it decides how much attention the position needs.

Both cards are modelled, on the deepest pool on the chain. Figures for real pools are replays of their own candles, and they are on the pools page.

Hands-on

Tight band

Your money works hardest and earns the most, but the price leaves the band often, so the vault is resetting several times a week. It needs bots that stay interested.

Wide band

A wider band earns less, but the price rarely escapes it — around one reset every two or three weeks, almost no cost lost to moving, and an overnight gap is far less likely to push you out. This is the long-term, low-maintenance setting.

The honest part

Tighter is not always better. Here is where it turns.

Every reset costs money — gas to make the move, a worse price on the way back in, and what arbitrage takes while the band is stale. The green line is what is left after all three, at every width, computed from this pool's own measured volatility and the chain's gas price right now.

For HOOD, the sweet spot lands at 60 ticks. The app draws this curve for whatever you set up, instead of quoting one big number and hoping you never ask.

Why there is a token at all

$VLP is a key. It is not a meme.

Most tokens exist so that somebody can sell them. This one exists because the app needs a lock. You never have to buy it: everything essential is free, and the protocol simply takes 5% of the fees your vault actually earns. Earn nothing, pay nothing.

Spending $VLP is the alternative to paying that 5%. It buys the fee off and opens the parts of the app built for people running real size.

Free, forever

Unlocked with $VLP

Spend once, keep it

  • Performance fee drops to zero
  • Higher deposit caps per vault
  • Priority in the reset queue when the market moves fast
  • 0% of the fees you earn

Where the spent tokens go

Not to a founder, and not to a payout. What you spend to unlock is split on the spot, by the contract.

Burned means destroyed — the supply gets smaller every time somebody unlocks a vault. The treasury share pays for building the thing. Supply is fixed at 100 million, minted once, with no way to make more.

Run the numbers before you trust them.

Set up a vault, drag the price out of range, and watch the costs move against the fees in real time. One slider decides the whole trade-off.
