HALFLIFE 72, explained simply.
A fixed-supply token on Robinhood Chain that turns its own
trading fees into staking yield. Nothing to deposit, nothing to lock,
nothing to trust — every payout is published and checkable on-chain.
01 WHAT IS THIS
HALF is a token with a hard-capped supply — no new tokens can ever be
minted, by anyone. Every trade in its pool pays a small fee. A bot (the
"keeper") collects those fees every 30 minutes, uses them to buy HALF back
from the market, and pays that bought-back HALF out to everyone who has
staked. That's the whole machine:
trading volume → fees → buybacks → your wallet.
No deposits are ever taken from you. Staking is a free
one-click registration — your tokens never leave your wallet.
02 START IN 3 STEPS
1
GET ETH ON ROBINHOOD CHAIN
Bridge or buy a little ETH on Robinhood Chain (chain id 4663). You need it
to buy HALF and for transaction fees (fees cost fractions of a cent).
2
BUY HALF ON PONS
HALF trades on its Uniswap pool via
pons.
Buy however much you want to stake.
3
CONNECT & PRESS STAKE
Back on the
control room, hit CONNECT (top right), then
STAKE. One cheap transaction registers your wallet. From the next 30-minute
epoch on, yield arrives automatically — pushed straight to your wallet,
48 times a day. Press UNSTAKE anytime to stop; there is no lock and no
penalty.
Your balance stays in your wallet the entire time. If
you sell your HALF, you simply stop earning on what you sold — nothing to
withdraw, nothing to unwind.
03 WHERE THE YIELD COMES FROM (HONESTLY)
Yield is funded only by real buybacks paid for with the pool's
trading fees. That means:
- Busy trading days → bigger buybacks → higher paid rate.
- Quiet stretches are smoothed by the reserve buffer: surplus
from busy epochs stays in the float and keeps payouts flowing when
volume cools. What the dashboard shows is always what was actually
paid — never a projection.
- The paid rate is hard-capped at 0.075% per 30-minute epoch
(≈1,314% simple APR ceiling). Above the cap, the excess builds the
buffer instead of being paid out — that's the smoothing mechanism.
The decaying "curve target" you'll see is the marketing
curve — the cap on what an epoch may pay, never a guarantee. The founder
takes a disclosed 30% share of fee revenue; the split is printed in every
on-chain report.
04 TICKETS (OPTIONAL)
A ticket is a fixed-price note: pay a small amount of ETH, and after a
72-hour lock you receive 1.33× the face amount in HALF, delivered
automatically from the buyback inventory.
| You pay | the ticket price in ETH (shown on the dashboard) |
|---|
| You get | 1.33× face in HALF, pushed to your wallet after 72h |
|---|
| The catch | delivery is inventory-gated: if the buyback float
can't cover it yet, your note waits in queue (senior to staker payouts)
until it can. Limits per epoch and on total debt keep the queue honest. |
|---|
05 VERIFY EVERYTHING
Every epoch, the keeper publishes a full HL72 report
on-chain: the inputs, the computed rate, and every payout. Anyone can
re-run the (open, integer-exact) math on the published inputs and compare
against the actual transfers. The dashboard's VERIFY section shows the
replay live. If the numbers ever disagreed, you could prove it in public
— that is the point.
06 RISKS, PLAINLY
- Price risk: HALF's price can go down like any token. Yield is
paid in HALF, not dollars.
- Volume risk: no trading, no fees, no yield.
- Smart-contract surface: deliberately tiny — one ~40-line,
admin-less, custody-free contract that holds nothing. Staking cannot
lose your tokens because it never takes them.
- Operator risk: the keeper bot could go offline; payouts would
pause until it returns (and its full history stays verifiable). It can
never mint, and can never spend more than it actually bought back.
