how the vortex works.
Every number in these pages is read from one protocol config. Anything not live onchain is marked pending.
Start
- What is CascodiumA settlement vortex on Robinhood Chain that turns protocol fees into real tokenized stock, every day, for every grain.
- GrainsA grain is an ERC-721 token and the only entry into the vortex — dropped with $CX or seeded with Stock Tokens.
- The Vortex and its shellsEight shells from Dust to the Nucleus — fewer seats and heavier weight the closer a grain gets to the center.
- Flow and TenureThe two ladders that move a grain inward — volume routed through Cascodium, and days of pulsing.
- GravityGrains that stop pulsing drift outward, one shell at a time, until they pulse again.
- Seats and challengesNear the center, seats are taken by challenge — the grain with more mass wins.
Settlement
- SettlementOnce a day after the US close, the pot is closed, split, turned into Stock Tokens and sent to grain vaults.
- The CascadeHow each pot is split — Treasury, the Crown cascade to the inner shells, and Flow to every grain.
- Where the pot comes fromExactly four onchain sources fill the pot — nothing else enters it.
- The ReservoirHolds the non-burned share of every $CX grain drop and sells it slowly under a public cap.
- VaultsEach grain owns an ERC-6551 token-bound account where settlement and seeds land.
- TransfersA transferred grain keeps its vault but arrives in Dust with zero flow and zero tenure.
- Basket and Ticker of the WeekWhat settlement buys — a default basket of canonical Robinhood Stock Tokens, with a weekly featured ticker.
Token & contracts
- $CXThe Cascodium token — used to drop grains, with its pool fees feeding the pot.
- RouterSwaps USDG and canonical Stock Tokens through onchain liquidity, with a fee that goes to the pot.
- FeesEvery fee in Cascodium, where it goes, and what is free.
- Contracts and admin powersEvery Cascodium contract, linked to Blockscout once published, and the full list of admin powers.
