The giving fund, in full.

01 Abstract

Verdara is an onchain giving fund built on Robinhood Chain. It turns ordinary trading activity into a permanent source of charitable and community funding. Fees collected from trading are placed into an endowment whose principal is never spent; only the yield that principal earns is given away. The result is a fund that grows over time and gives indefinitely, with every movement recorded onchain.

02 The problem

Most onchain giving works like a bucket: money comes in, money goes out, and when it is gone the giving stops. Campaigns spike and fade. Treasuries are spent down. Good intentions run out of runway because the capital behind them is consumed the moment it is used.

The question Verdara starts from is simple: what if a contribution could keep giving long after it was made?

03 The model

Verdara borrows a structure that has funded institutions for centuries — the endowment. Capital is preserved and invested; only the returns are spent. Applied onchain, this means the fund keeps its principal intact and gives exclusively from the yield it produces.

Because the principal is never touched, each contribution compounds rather than disappears. Early giving is modest; as the base grows, so does the amount the fund can give each cycle — from the same capital, without ever drawing it down.

04 Mechanics

The fund is fed by activity, not fundraising. A small fee on every trade is routed on-chain and split three ways:

• 70% — Stakers. Distributed as yield to holders who stake, paid in ETH.
• 20% — The giving fund. Added to the endowment's principal, which is preserved.
• 10% — Treasury. Operations and buyback, keeping the system maintained.

Figures describe the intended design and may be finalised at launch.

05 The endowment

The giving fund's principal is held apart and put to work. It is never spent down. What leaves the fund is only the yield that principal generates over a cycle.

This separation is the core guarantee of Verdara. It is what lets a single fee contribute to giving not once, but for as long as the fund exists — and it is why the fund's capacity to give rises rather than depletes.

06 Distribution & governance

Where the yield goes is not decided by a team. Each cycle, causes are proposed and voted on by stakers. The winning distributions are settled onchain and visible to anyone.

Staking therefore does two things at once: it earns a share of the yield, and it grants a vote over the fund's giving. The people who back the fund are the people who direct it.

07 Custody & security

• Held in contract. The endowment lives in a smart contract, not a personal wallet — the rules apply equally to everyone.
• Principal and yield separated in code. The spendable part and the protected part are tracked apart and cannot be confused.
• Open for review. Contract source and addresses will be published on this site before launch, so anyone can verify the behaviour described here.

08 The token

A token on Robinhood Chain coordinates the fund: it carries the fee that feeds the endowment and grants staking rights over yield and governance. Full token details — supply, distribution and contract addresses — will be published on this site before launch.

This site and @verdarafund are the only official sources. Verify both before trusting any token that claims to be Verdara.

09 Roadmap

• Foundation. Brand, model and contracts finalised before any capital moves.
• Launch. The token goes live; fees begin to accrue to the fund.
• First giving. The endowment reaches its first threshold; stakers vote the opening distribution.
• Governance. Cause proposals and voting open to every staker, cycle after cycle.

10 Risks & disclaimer

Verdara is an experimental onchain system. Yields depend on market activity and are not guaranteed. Smart contracts carry risk. Nothing in this document is financial advice or an offer of securities. Participate only with what you can afford to lose, and always verify contracts and links yourself.
