How any of this works

A pool is a pile of two tokens that anyone can trade against. Liquidity providing means adding to that pile. In return, every swap through the pool pays a fee, and the providers split it in proportion to what each one put in.

That is the whole mechanism. No counterparty agrees to your trade — you trade against the pile, and the price you get depends on how deep it is. A deep pool barely moves when someone sells into it. A shallow one lurches.

It is not free money. While the price moves, a position can end up worth less than if you had simply held the two tokens and done nothing. Fees are the payment for carrying that risk, not a way around it.

• SlippageThe deeper the pool, the closer your fill is to the price you saw. Depth is the difference between the quote and the trade.
• ExitLiquidity is what you sell into. A token with a large market cap and a shallow pool cannot be left quickly.
• SurvivalDeep markets absorb a shock and recover. Thin ones gap, and the gap is where people get hurt.
• HonestyMarket cap can be manufactured by minting supply. Liquidity has to be paid for, so it is much harder to fake.

On Robinhood Chain a ticker proves nothing at all. Search a single stock symbol and more than twenty tokens come back, most worth a fraction of a cent. The impostors usually have the better logo, because the real issuer never bothered to upload one.

So Orbi Pool does not ask what a token calls itself. It reads the chain, and keeps a stock token only if all three hold:

1. 1its runtime bytecode proxies Robinhood’s token beacon 0xe10b6f6b275de231345c20d14ab812db62151b00,
2. 2its symbol() is exactly the ticker being claimed,
3. 3its name() ends in “Robinhood Token”.

Anything that fails one of those is not shown as a verified stock. The mark on the board means those three checks passed, not that anyone vouched for it.

Price, market cap, volume, liquidity, pool age, trade count

Your holdings on the positions page

Your own wallet. The page asks it to read balances straight from the chain. Nothing is signed, nothing reaches this server, and no address is stored.

Figures are cached for a minute. If a source stops answering, the board says so and shows what it still has rather than filling the gap with something invented.

It is not an exchange, and it holds nothing. There is no custody, no deposit and no account. Orbi Pool has no staking contracts deployed either, which is why every figure on the stakes page reads zero.

None of it is financial advice. A verified mark says a contract is who it claims to be — nothing whatsoever about whether buying it is a good idea.
