Your people. Your market.

Create a place to trade an existing coin, choose where your market’s fees go, and help holders agree on their terms.

Robinhood Chain is the main network. The Robinhood guide covers wallets, orders and contracts. Solana has a separate beta workflow, explained below.

For field-by-field instructions, transaction mechanics, contract details and troubleshooting, explore the complete platform documentation.

New here? Start with the tour.

Choose Take tour in the navigation or mobile menu. Start with launching your own market, then learn how buyers and sellers meet and how completed trades generate fees. You can skip the tour or replay it at any time.

You can launch as a holder or a team.

You don’t need to create a coin or be its developer. A community holder, project lead, team member or individual can organize a market for an existing token. Choose a community market or go solo, then tell people who is behind it. Team labels are self-declared.

The four decisions behind a market.

  1. People: choose a solo or community market. Community launchers identify themselves as a holder or team member.
  2. Token: identify the existing coin on the correct network. Robinhood Chain uses an EVM token contract address; the Solana beta uses a token mint address.
  3. Details: name the market, explain who it is for, and choose the wallet that will receive its fee share.
  4. Review: check the network, token, market owner, fees and recipient. Review each requested wallet approval before signing.

The registration mechanics differ by network. Robinhood registration uses an on-chain transaction with ETH gas. The existing Solana beta registers a listing through a wallet-signed message. Launching creates a market for a coin that already exists. Only completed trades earn trading fees.

Launch market

Robinhood Chain: launch, trade, manage

  1. Choose your people: launch for your community or go solo. Holders and teams can both create a market.
  2. Enter the existing token’s Robinhood Chain contract address. Check the token, network and compatibility.
  3. Add your market details and fee-recipient wallet. Review who will receive its share of completed trading fees.
  4. Review registration with your EVM wallet. On-chain registration uses ETH for gas and must succeed before the market is confirmed.
  5. Create or accept an offer. Check whether it keeps assets in your wallet or deposits them into escrow, then review each approval and the final trade amounts.
  6. Follow the transaction status. Only a verified successful receipt establishes completed settlement.

Using the Solana beta

The following steps apply to the separate Solana network.

01 / Launch your OTC market

  1. Open Launch your OTC market, enter the launch password, then connect your Solana wallet.
  2. Choose who the market is for: Solo or Community. If Community, choose I’m a community holder or I’m a project lead or team member to identify who is launching it. Holders do not need to be the token developer. Team launches require an HTTPS website and social profile; the team label is self-declared.
  3. Paste the token’s mint address. Use the mint address, not a pool or wallet address.
  4. Add your market name, symbol, description, optional picture and banner, and any community links.
  5. Check the fee-recipient wallet carefully. This is where your market’s share of completed trading fees goes.
  6. Review the details and sign the launch authorization in your wallet. This message creates the market listing; it does not transfer funds.

02 / Post an offer

Choose Buy or Sell, then set quantity, quote currency and expiry. Choose a fixed price directly or use a premium/discount to calculate one from an available reference. Review the actual unit price and fee preview. Quantity means gross tokens sent by the seller. For fee-bearing tokens, also check the token fee and net amount received by the buyer.

Wallet-held is the available mode in the public beta. Funds stay in your wallet until you approve an accepted fill. Keep enough tokens, quote currency and SOL for applicable costs. If funded escrow becomes available, it requires a separate deposit transaction before the order opens.

03 / Take an offer

Review the token mint, quote currency, quantity, price and fees. Check the above/below-market reference for context. Pick a gross fill quantity, then review the exact token fee and net receipt in the prepared transaction before approving. A wallet-held offer then waits for its maker to approve the same transaction.

Keep the trade page open to follow its status. Awaiting approval, submitted and confirming are intermediate states. Completed means a successful finalized receipt has been verified.

04 / Manage your market

The dashboard shows markets, offers, trade attempts and recorded fee activity for the connected wallet. Fees are routed in settlement; the dashboard is not a separate withdrawable balance. Earnings depend on completed trades and are not guaranteed.

An open wallet-held offer can be edited or cancelled by its owner. During an active fill, wait for settlement or on-chain expiry reconciliation before changing it. A previously signed transaction cannot be revoked merely by closing a browser.
