Getting Started
Five deliberate steps from wallet to running agent, with a visible guardrail at each one.
A holder's path has five deliberate steps rather than a single black-box trading button.
1. Connect and verify
Connect an EVM-compatible wallet on Robinhood Chain. The application verifies ownership of the selected Mote at the chain level and resolves the corresponding agent account address. You can inspect that address and its current permission status at any time.
2. Fund the agent
Send supported USDC to the verified account, through the application or by direct transfer. Deposits belong to the account, not to the agent service. Gas on Robinhood Chain is paid in ETH; any gas funding, sponsorship or relayer behaviour will be disclosed clearly. USDC contract support and bridge routes depend on canonical deployment verification.
3. Define an objective
Set a strategy objective in structured form or in natural language. A request such as “work toward $100 from $10; stop taking new risk if the portfolio reaches $5” is converted into explicit, reviewable controls. A profit objective is a target, never a predicted or promised result.
4. Authorise a policy
Review the supported venues, permitted operations, asset list, maximum size per transaction, budgets, session duration, concentration limits and withdrawal authority. Then sign the policy authorisation. The agent receives a narrow execution capability. It never obtains your unrestricted private key.
5. Monitor or withdraw
The dashboard shows holdings, outstanding commitments, realised and unrealised performance, charged fees, and denied or completed actions. You can pause automation, revoke sessions and withdraw withdrawable balances. Open DeFi positions may need to settle before cash is free to withdraw.
