How does a token sale work on Robinhood Chain?
A token sale on Robinhood Chain is a smart-contract sale pool deployed on chain ID 4663: participants commit the raise currency during a sale window, allocation is computed on-chain, and buyers claim tokens while the project receives proceeds to a wallet it controls. Saleium runs this flow self-serve on Robinhood Chain, its sixth live mainnet, on the same CertiK-audited contract lineage behind ChainGPT Pad: 50+ IDOs and $20M+ in public and private round participation volume as of July 2026.
The chain itself, an Ethereum Layer 2 built with Arbitrum technology whose mainnet launched July 1, 2026, is covered in what is Robinhood Chain. For the sale, what matters is simpler: participants pay gas fees in ETH that are typically small, and the network is new enough that a well-run public sale still stands out.
Which currencies can you raise in?
You can raise in native ETH, in USDG, or in any custom ERC-20 that lives on the chain. ETH suits a crypto-native raise and needs no token approvals; USDG keeps a raise dollar-stable from commitment to settlement; a custom ERC-20 covers ecosystem or partner-denominated rounds. The sale wizard preloads the first two and accepts the third by contract address:
| Raise currency | What it is | When to use it |
|---|---|---|
| ETH (native) | The chain's gas token | Crypto-native raise, no token approvals needed |
| USDG | Paxos-issued Global Dollar stablecoin, natively issued on the chain | Dollar-priced raise, stable proceeds |
| Custom ERC-20 | Any token on the chain, added by address | Ecosystem or partner-denominated raises |
USDG deserves the highlight. It is issued by Paxos, backed 1:1 by the U.S. dollar, and natively issued on Robinhood Chain, with roughly $2.75 billion in circulating supply as of May 2026. Raising in USDG means your $500k target is still $500k when the sale closes, which takes the volatility conversation off the table for the raise itself.
How is allocation handled when the sale oversubscribes?
Oversubscription is the good problem sales should plan for anyway: when commitments exceed the cap, the contract allocates pro-rata by weight, everyone gets their proportional share, and excess commitments become refundable on-chain during the refund window. Tiered per-wallet minimums and maximums shape the distribution before the sale even starts, and full-refund windows cover the failure case where a sale does not meet its threshold.
The mechanics, including worked examples of weighted pro-rata math, are covered in how oversubscribed token sales handle pro-rata allocation. The short version for Robinhood Chain: allocation is contract logic, not a spreadsheet, and refunds are free.
How do you control who can participate?
With eligibility gating built into the sale widget: KYC and allowlist rules are synced from the frontend to the chain, so an ineligible wallet cannot bypass your sale page and commit directly against the contract. That FE-to-chain sync is the detail that separates real gating from decorative gating, and it ships as part of the sale product, whether you use the hosted page or embed the widget on your own site.
The honest boundary: Saleium provides the eligibility tooling and screening controls; it does not decide your regulatory posture. Which jurisdictions you exclude, whether you require KYC, and compliance with the law governing your offering remain your project's responsibility, on Robinhood Chain as on any chain.
What does a sale on Robinhood Chain cost?
The pricing model is the same across all six of Saleium's mainnets: the applicable plan and product-specific charges, together with blockchain network costs. The sale take is subscription-tiered, a descending ladder where bigger plans, which allow bigger raises, pay a smaller percentage:
| Plan | Max raise | Sale take |
|---|---|---|
| Enterprise | Uncapped | 0% |
| Business ($999/mo) | $250k | 3% |
| Pro ($499/mo) | $100k | 5% |
| Plus ($249/mo) | $50k | 7% |
| Growth ($99/mo) | $10k | 10% |
| Free | $1k demo sale | 15% |
Model a serious raise from the floor: on Business or Enterprise it pays from 3% down to 0%, and the Free plan's 15% applies only to its $1,000 demo sale, a way to rehearse a live raise before the real one. Gas on Robinhood Chain is paid in ETH and is typically small. The pricing page has the complete table, and what it costs to launch a token in 2026 covers the budget beyond the sale itself.
What happens at settlement?
Proceeds settle on-chain to the wallet you configured, buyers claim through the hosted claim flow, and the platform fee is stamped immutably into the contract at deploy, so the economics you launched with cannot change mid-sale. If allocations vest, the claim experience and vesting schedules run on the same infrastructure, which keeps buyers inside one consistent flow from commitment to final unlock.
A participant-side detail worth knowing: most wallets do not ship Robinhood Chain by default. Dapps on the chain can prompt the network addition through the standard add-network request, and the manual path is short, so include adding Robinhood Chain to MetaMask in your sale announcement for first-time participants.
Where does the sale fit in the full launch?
A sale is the middle of a launch, not the whole of it: allocations should already be locked behind vesting before the sale opens, and staking should be ready when claims go live. The end-to-end sequence, contract, vesting, sale, claims, airdrop, staking, is the Robinhood Chain launch playbook, and the ownership argument for running it on your own domain rather than a rented launchpad slot is made in token sale without a launchpad.
