What Investors Center is
Investors Center is an RWA-backed treasury protocol on Robinhood Chain using (3,3) staking. It accumulates a treasury of tokenized real-world and crypto assets, backs every INVEST with treasury value, pays staking rewards to SHARES holders, funds itself from a flat trading tax on its own liquidity pool, and is governed end to end by gINVEST voters through an on-chain Governor and Timelock that own the treasury.
Four properties carry the whole design.
Backed
Bond markets accumulate tokenized Robinhood stock and ETF tokens, USDG, WETH and bridged crypto
— each valued live through a vetted price feed. INVEST is minted only against excess reserve
value.
The Treasury's backing target is 1 INVEST = $1. Excess reserves are whatever the Treasury holds beyond what already backs the circulating supply, and never less than zero: one INVEST is mintable per $1 of value above that line. Every asset is discounted by a per-asset haircut before it counts — a downward-only adjustment, so a price spike can never be minted against 1:1.
Staked
Staking INVEST mints rebasing SHARES, or non-rebasing gINVEST directly. Emissions are distributed to stakers once an epoch — the (3,3) game. Emissions are gated by excess reserves: with none, a rebase mints nothing and does not fail, so staking is never stuck.
See How to stake.
Funded
Every trade on the INVEST/USDG pool pays a flat 500 bps tax in INVEST. That tax is sold for USDG under a TWAP floor and rotated into the treasury's reserve basket. The team share of the tax decays linearly to zero over the 30 days following launch; the treasury's share rises correspondingly from 100 bps to the full 500 bps.
The tax rate is immutable. There is no setter and no disable path.
See The flywheel.
Governed
gINVEST is voting power. The Governor and the Timelock own the treasury, so every reserve, market and emission decision is an executed proposal — there is no admin key that can move funds. The governing body is the Boardroom.

Where it runs
Investors Center lives on Robinhood Chain, an Arbitrum Orbit L2 that settles to Ethereum.
| Mainnet | |
|---|---|
| Chain ID | 4663 |
| RPC | https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com |
| Explorer | https://robinhoodchain.blockscout.com |
| Gas token | ETH |
Mainnet is the only supported network.
One Orbit specific shapes the protocol directly: block.number on Orbit returns an estimate of the
L1 block number, not the L2 one. A governance system that counted in blocks would have voting
windows that jump unpredictably, so the protocol bans block numbers outright and times everything on
block.timestamp — governance included, on a timestamp voting clock.
Full chain detail is in Robinhood Chain facts.
Investors Center has not launched on Robinhood Chain. No protocol contract is deployed yet, so these pages carry no protocol addresses — they are published once the genesis transactions land and the contracts are verified on the explorer. The chain-level constants the protocol builds on — USDG, WETH, the canonical Uniswap deployments — are real and listed under Contracts.
