A utility token,
on the record.
Rivest: a fixed-supply utility token on Robinhood Chain. Last revised September 2026.
Abstract
Rivest is a fixed-supply ERC-20 token on Robinhood Chain. It launched on pons, trades against WETH in a single pool, and publishes everything about itself on-chain: price, pool reserves, supply, fees and every trade.
The design goal is narrow and deliberate — a utility token that presents itself with the discipline of a tokenized-Treasury desk, without borrowing any of its claims. $RIV holds no Treasuries and pays no yield.
1 · Thesis
Tokenized U.S. Treasuries have become the reference point for real-world assets on-chain. What made them credible was not the asset alone but the way they present themselves: every number sourced, every reserve visible, every movement on the record.
Rivest applies that standard to a utility token. Nothing on its site is typed in by hand — figures are read from Robinhood Chain or from named public data sources.
2 · The instrument
$RIV is an ERC-20 token on Robinhood Chain (chain ID 4663) with 18 decimals and a fixed supply minted once at launch. There are no emissions, no rebases and no reward tokens.
Contract: published at launch.
3 · Launch & pool
$RIV launched on pons, a launchpad for fixed-supply tokens on Robinhood Chain: the token and its pool against WETH were created together, in one transaction. The pool charges a 1% fee, and every buy and sell settles against it.
4 · Fees
Each swap pays the 1% pool fee, split between the protocol and the creator payout address in proportions fixed at launch; both shares are read live on the Reserves page.
5 · Transparency
The Reserves page reads the pool's WETH and token balances, the supply, the fee split and every trade directly from Robinhood Chain. Market context on the home page — RWA and tokenized-Treasury market caps and the U.S. T-bill rate — comes from CoinGecko and the U.S. Treasury and is shown for reference only.
6 · Why Robinhood Chain
Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum L2 on the Arbitrum Orbit stack, built for tokenized real-world assets. It has no native token — gas is paid in ETH — settles to Ethereum, and supports self-custody and bridging into Ethereum DeFi.
7 · Risk factors
Utility tokens are highly volatile and can lose all of their value. Liquidity can be thin and large trades move the price. Smart contracts, bridges, RPCs and wallets can fail or be exploited.
8 · Legal
$RIV is not backed by, redeemable for, or linked to U.S. Treasuries or any other asset, and it pays no yield. Tokenized T-bills the project treasury may hold, shown on the Reserves page, are the project's property and give holders no claim.
