How it works
Every time you swap on an allowlisted Robinhood Chain router, Hatch captures 1% (100 bps) of the trade notional in USDG, pools it per stock, and buys in batches. The stock is delivered to a wallet you control — Hatch is non-custodial and never holds your keys.
The three steps
- Connect your wallet. The one you already trade with on Robinhood Chain.
- Pick your stock or index. NVDA, AAPL, MSFT, SPY, PLTR — change it anytime.
- Trade like always. Hatch sets aside 1% of each eligible trade and buys your pick in batches.
What counts as an eligible trade
A swap from a registered wallet, on an allowlisted Robinhood Chain router, with a USDG or WETH leg, of at least $10 notional. Hatch captures 1% of the notional in USDG using a deposit-only permission.
How buys are batched
Captured USDG pools per stock and executes on a threshold-or-age rule: whenever a pool reaches $5, or at most every 4 hours, whichever comes first. Batching keeps execution prices fair in thinner pools, and fills are allocated floor pro-rata across everyone in the batch.
Custody & safety
- Self-custody. Accumulated stock is sent to a wallet you choose. You hold everything.
- Deposit-only permission. The only thing Hatch can do is move your 1% into your own account — capped per-capture and per-day on-chain, revocable in one transaction.
- Always exitable. USDG that hasn’t been converted yet is withdrawable at any time, even while the protocol is paused.
Set up your wallet
Hatch separates the wallets you trade with from the single wallet your savings land in. You set the destination once, then point as many trading wallets at it as you like.
1 · Choose a saving wallet
During onboarding you pick a saving wallet — the self-custody destination where all accumulated stock is delivered. It can be the wallet you trade with, or a separate cold wallet you keep for holdings. Only you control it.
2 · Add your trading wallets
Register one or more trading wallets. Every eligible trade from any of them routes its 1% into the same saving wallet, so you get one consolidated position no matter how many wallets you trade from.
3 · Grant deposit-only permission
Each trading wallet signs a Permit2 approval that lets Hatch pull only the capture amount. It is capped per-capture and per-day on-chain and can be revoked anytime — revoking never touches stock you already own.
4 · Pick your stock
Choose the stock or index you want to accumulate. Change it whenever you want; new captures feed the new pick while everything already accumulated stays exactly where it is.
Tokenomics
The HATCH token has a fixed supply of 100,000,000 and no governance role. Its utility is limited to staking for protocol-fee discounts, staking for revenue sharing, and indirect value accrual through buyback and burn.
The savings flow
Every eligible trade routes a fixed 100 bps (1%) of notional into the Hatch savings flow. The protocol fee is taken from that flow; the remainder is what you accumulate in stock. The savings flow itself never changes — fee discounts only shift the split, never the 1%.
Protocol fee tiers
Your fee tier is unlocked by staking (see below). A lower protocol fee means a larger share of your 1% goes straight into stock.
| Tier | Requirement | Protocol fee | You accumulate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base | No stake | 15 bps | 85 bps |
| Tier 1 | 300,000 staked | 12 bps | 88 bps |
| Tier 2 | 1,000,000 staked | 8 bps | 92 bps |
| Tier 3 | 2,500,000 staked | 4 bps | 96 bps |
Where the protocol fee goes
After any referral payout, the remaining net protocol fee is split three ways:
| Allocation | Share |
|---|---|
| Staking rewards pool | 30% |
| Automatic buyback & burn | 50% |
| Treasury | 20% |
$HATCH trading tax
The $HATCH token pool carries a 1% buy tax and a 1% sell tax. Every $HATCH trade routes a 1% protocol fee: part goes to the protocol treasury to fund growth, audits, liquidity, and operations, and part is distributed to stakers as protocol-aligned yield.
This creates a simple flywheel — trading activity strengthens the treasury, rewards long-term supporters, and compounds value back into the ecosystem.
Referral system
A referrer earns a share of the protocol fees paid by the users they refer. Referral rewards come from the protocol fee only — never from a user’s stock accumulation.
Referral levels
Your level is set by the cumulative trading volume generated by your referred users, and raises the share of their protocol fees you earn.
| Level | Cumulative referred volume | Share of protocol fee |
|---|---|---|
| 1 · default | $0 | 10% |
| 2 | $10,000,000 | 20% |
| 3 | $50,000,000 | 50% |
| 4 | $100,000,000 | 90% |
How the reward is calculated
The reward is your level’s percentage applied to the referred user’s effective protocol fee. Example: if a referred user qualifies for the 8 bps tier, a Level 1 referrer earns 10% of those 8 bps — not of 15 bps, and not of the full 100 bps savings flow.
Staking system
Staking HATCH unlocks two things: a lower protocol fee (see the tiers above) and a share of revenue. Eligibility depends on both the amount staked and a valid lock duration — if the lock is invalid or expired, the tier benefit does not apply.
Staking tiers correspond to the protocol-fee tiers above — 300,000 / 1,000,000 / 2,500,000 HATCH staked for the 12 / 8 / 4 bps fee. That discount is the only thing a tier changes. Revenue sharing is not tiered — any amount staked earns a daily pro-rata share.
Revenue sharing
30% of all net protocol revenue is redistributed to stakers every day. There is no tier gate and no lockup requirement to earn it — you simply receive your share of that day’s pool in proportion to how much you have staked.
- Revenue sharing is for stakers only, and open to every staker.
- Rewards are distributed daily.
- Distribution is strictly pro rata by each staker’s share of the staking pool — not by tier.
- No fixed APY, and no inflationary reward emissions.
The other 50% of net protocol fees drives automatic buyback and burn, and 20% goes to the treasury — adding indirect value accrual for every holder on top of the staker yield.
