Where does my money go when I buy FLOW?
Buying FLOW on Uniswap pays the 5% pool fee. Of what the protocol harvests, 80% goes to the on-chain treasury — 4% of your trade — and 20% to the team wallet. The treasury spends its share buying reward tokens for stakers. There is no presale and no team allocation; you only get FLOW by trading.
How do I actually earn?
Stake your FLOW. Every time the treasury makes a buy, the tokens it buys are handed to the staking contract and stream to stakers over the following 7 days. Your share is your staked amount times your lock multiplier, measured against everyone else's. You claim what you have earned — nothing is airdropped.
What are the lock tiers?
Five of them: Flexible at 1.00x, 30 days at 1.25x, 90 days at 1.60x, 180 days at 2.10x, and 365 days at 2.50x. The multiplier is fixed when you open the position and decides your share of every reward buy. Flexible can be withdrawn any time; the locked tiers cannot.
Can I unstake early?
No. Claiming and withdrawing both revert before your lock ends — there is no early exit and no penalty mechanism to buy your way out. Once the lock expires the position keeps earning at 1.00x until you withdraw it. Only stake for a term you can sit through.
What do stakers actually earn?
A curated basket of stock tokens and memecoins on Robinhood Chain — capped at 10 tokens at a time. Every buy splits the treasury's ETH equally across all of them, so the basket stays perfectly balanced 1:1. FLOW is never paid out as a reward; your staked principal and your rewards are entirely separate.
Who decides what goes in the basket, and when does it buy?
Which tokens are in the basket is curated by the team, using the community leaderboard as signal. When a buy happens is up to anyone — as soon as the treasury holds 0.5 ETH, any wallet can trigger it. How much goes to each token is not a choice at all: the contract splits it equally, every time.
Can the team rug?
No. New FLOW can't be minted, nothing can be paused or upgraded, and nobody — including the team — can withdraw treasury funds. The Uniswap liquidity sits in a contract that can only collect fees on it; the principal has no exit path. The staking contract has no owner at all. The team's only powers are to tune the buy threshold within hard-coded limits and to add or remove basket tokens.
What happens if a token is removed from the basket?
Removing a token stops future buys of it, but it never strands what is already streaming. Anything bought before the removal keeps streaming to stakers and stays claimable. The team can stop buying something; they cannot take back what stakers have already earned.
What chain is FLOW on?
Robinhood Chain (chain ID 4663), an Ethereum L2. Contracts are verified on Blockscout. Gas is paid in ETH.
