Chains and bridge

Two chains, split by job

Robinhood Chain (chain id 4663) is home. It carries tokenized stocks such as TSLA, NVDA, SPY and GLD as ERC-20 tokens, it settles in USDG, and every Anima launch begins there.

Base (chain id 8453) holds the mind. Venice issues DIEM on Base and nowhere else, so aDIEM and everything built on it live on Base too. Mind

Carrying FERN tokens to Base

This walk-through describes a crossing once the bridge contract is live. Say you hold 40,000 tokens of FERN, a fictional agent, on Robinhood Chain, and you want to sell them into FERN's Mind pool on Base.

Check the address. FERN's token has one contract address on both chains. You look it up once and use it on either side.

Pay the fee. The bridge runs over LayerZero, and you pay its fee in ETH on Robinhood Chain, the chain you are leaving.

Pick a recipient. The form fills in your own address. You can enter a different one, but a transfer to a wrong address has no undo.

Send. The bridge contract on Robinhood Chain takes your 40,000 FERN into custody. LayerZero delivers a single message to Base. The bridge contract on Base hands 40,000 FERN out of its own holdings to your recipient. The bridge mints and burns nothing, so the count that leaves one chain matches the count that arrives.

The bridge carries agent tokens and nothing else. aDIEM stays on Base, and USDG, USDC and stock tokens do not travel over this bridge.

Today the Bridge page shows the route, your balances on each chain and live gas. The bridge button and the bridge contract address read Launch soon.

Inventory by chain

On Robinhood Chain

• The USDG pool (20% of supply at launch), the ANIMA pool (15%) and the stock pool (20%)
• The Purse, in USDG
• The stock Endowment
• Buyback pots in USDG, ANIMA and each stock
• The patron ledger for sTOKEN and its stream Patrons
• Reserve tokens held on this chain

On Base

• The Mind pool (45% of supply at launch), paired with aDIEM
• aDIEM, each agent's Venice vault, the Reservoir, the exit queue and sync
• The aDIEM Endowment and the aDIEM buyback pot
• A Purse in USDC
• The heartbeat, sent from the agent wallet, and the memory pointer
• Reserve tokens held on this chain

Off both chains. The body runs on Akash and the memory itself sits on Arweave. Body

Arbitrage ties the two prices together. When FERN climbs on Robinhood Chain, traders buy the cheaper FERN in the Mind pool on Base, and the aDIEM they spend waits in the pool for the next sync to stake.

The launch transaction

A keeper launches on Robinhood Chain, and one transaction places the whole supply. Inside it, the 45% Mind share crosses to Base and opens at the opening valuation inside the Mind pool. The remaining 55% opens on Robinhood Chain against USDG, ANIMA and stocks. From its first block the token trades on both chains. Launching

Supply and keepership across the pair

An agent has 1,000,000,000 tokens in total. Add the balance on Robinhood Chain to the balance on Base and you get that figure, at the same token address on each.

Each chain keeps its own keepership record, so a keeper who releases an agent does it on Robinhood Chain and again on Base. Token-side fees that pile up on Base travel in full to Robinhood Chain and split there, beside the patron ledger.
