Terms, notices and takedowns.

What this is

RobinHouse is a work of art and social commentary that takes the form of a functioning website. Its subject is the resemblance between two kinds of list that became hard to tell apart: the bulk-retail catalog and the token launchpad. Both present items in a grid with a number and a price. The catalog’s prices describe something real about the goods; the launchpad’s describe appetite. Rendering one as the other, and pricing the result in a tokenised share of the retailer, is the argument the work makes.

The commentary is not a disclaimer and does not soften anything below. The work is built to function, because an argument about speculation made with fake money would not be an argument at all. Every transaction here is real, irreversible and made with your own assets, and every warning on this site is meant literally. If you are reading this page looking for the catch: there is no catch, and that is the point.

The original material in the work — the mark, the typography, the receipt forms, and the 1,949 generated item illustrations — is ours. The product names and item numbers are facts about real goods, used to refer to them.

Terms of use

RobinHouse (“we”) publishes this website and two smart contracts on Robinhood Chain: an item registry that maps one catalog item number to one coin, and a fee splitter. Coins are created and traded by Pons v2 bonding curves and, after graduation, by Uniswap v4 pools. We do not run those, hold your assets, or execute trades. Every transaction is signed by your own wallet and sent by you.

There is no trading on this site. You cannot buy or sell a coin here, and we do not quote prices for execution, route orders, match counterparties, take custody or act as a broker, dealer or intermediary for anyone. The only transaction this site helps you construct is the creation of a coin, which is paid for in ETH and does not involve $COST. Where a coin trades afterwards is on third-party venues we neither operate nor control, and reaching them is your own decision.

You may use the site only where doing so is lawful for you. The site is not available at all in comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions. $COST is a Stock Token that its issuer does not offer to persons in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom or Switzerland; we block launching and hide the trade controls for connections from those countries, and you must not circumvent that. These checks use the country your connection appears to come from — they are not identity verification, and transactions you sign go from your wallet to public contracts without passing through us. By launching a coin you confirm you are not such a person. You do not choose the coin’s name, ticker or description — RobinHouse derives them from the catalog — so responsibility for those words is ours, not yours; see the takedown process below.

The site is provided as is, without warranty. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for losses from using it, from the contracts, from Pons, from Uniswap, from Robinhood Chain, or from the price of any token. We may change or discontinue the site at any time; the contracts and the coins keep running without us.

Not affiliated with anyone

RobinHouse is a parody of, and commentary on, the warehouse-club shopping experience and the token launchpads that borrowed its visual language. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any retailer, by any product manufacturer, by Robinhood Markets or its affiliates, by Pons, or by Uniswap. No retailer’s name, logo, trade dress or house brand appears here: the brand is ours, the artwork is ours, and manufacturer names are stripped from item names before they are displayed. Where a third party is named — Robinhood Chain, Uniswap, Pons — it is to say truthfully where these coins trade and settle, not to suggest a relationship. Coins are memecoins with no claim on any product, company, stock or dividend.

Product names and item numbers

The catalog lists real products by their names, item numbers and prices to identify them. Names and item numbers are facts used descriptively; trademarks belong to their owners. Manufacturer brand names are removed from item names before they are shown. We do not display, store or proxy anyone else’s product photography: every item is illustrated with our own generated artwork.

Coin names, tickers and descriptions are not written by launchers. RobinHouse derives all three from the brand-scrubbed catalog entry and signs them, so a coin is named after what the product is, not who makes it, and no free text from a user is ever written to the blockchain through our contracts.

Takedown requests

If you own the rights to a name or other material shown here and want it removed, tell us which item numbers or coins are affected and how we can verify you speak for the rights holder. On request we can remove an item from the site entirely so nobody can launch a coin for it through RobinHouse, and stop displaying a coin.

What we cannot do: change or delete anything already written to the blockchain. A launched coin’s name, ticker and its link to an item number are permanent and visible on other sites (block explorers, the Pons launchpad, trading tools) that we do not control.

Who may use this, and how

You must be at least 18 years old, and old enough where you live to do what you are doing here. Using the site means you confirm that.

The site is not available in comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions. You confirm that you are not located in, resident in, or acting on behalf of anyone in such a place, and that you are not named on any sanctions list. Launching also requires a statement signed by your own wallet; signing it falsely is a breach of these terms, and it does not make the underlying restriction go away.

You agree not to:

• use a VPN, proxy, false statement or any other means to get around the country restrictions, or help anyone else to;
• use the site to break any law that applies to you, or to launder money, evade sanctions or finance anything criminal;
• try to manipulate the price of any coin, including by wash trading, or present any coin to anyone as an investment, a security, or something with an expected return;
• claim or imply that RobinHouse endorses, recommends, manages, backs or is responsible for any coin, or that any coin is affiliated with a retailer, a manufacturer or anyone else;
• attack the site or the contracts, scrape them in a way that degrades them for other people, or interfere with anyone else’s use;
• impersonate anyone, or misrepresent who you are or where you are.

We can stop serving the site to anyone, at any time, for any reason or none. We cannot stop the contracts: they are public, they run without us, and nothing we do can reverse a transaction or take back a coin.

What a coin is, and what it is not

A coin launched here is a memecoin: a token with no claim on any product, company, stock, dividend or revenue stream, and no redemption right against anyone. Buying one buys the token and nothing else.

RobinHouse does not manage a coin after it is created, and no part of a coin’s value depends on us continuing to do anything. We do not run the bonding curve or the pool — Pons v2 and Uniswap v4 do. We do not hold, custody or control anyone’s tokens. We make no forecast, projection or promise about any coin’s price, and we do not undertake to develop, market, support or create demand for any coin. The liquidity that a graduated coin trades against is locked permanently and cannot be withdrawn by anyone, including us. If this site disappeared tomorrow, every coin would keep trading exactly as it does now.

Trading fees are shared with whoever claimed the item, and with us, as consideration for the catalog and the registry — work that is already done at the moment a coin launches. A fee share is not a distribution of profits, and it does not entitle anyone to anything beyond the fees a coin’s own trading generates. It is bound to the address that launched the coin and cannot be sold, assigned or transferred to anyone. A launcher may give it up permanently, and that is the only way it moves. There is no market in fee positions here and we do not intend to create one.

Nothing here is an offer or solicitation to buy or sell a security, and nothing on this site is investment advice. $COST itself is a different matter: it is a tokenised debt security issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Ltd, we do not issue or offer it, and the restrictions on it are the issuer’s. How any particular token is characterised in any particular jurisdiction is a question of law we cannot answer for you.

Our own coin, and our own interests

RobinHouse created one coin for itself, separate from the catalog. We receive its creator fees. That makes it the one coin on this site we are not neutral about, and we say so on the coin itself and wherever it appears.

We took no allocation of it: there was no opening buy, no team tokens and no reserved supply. We do not recommend it, we make no claim about what it is worth, and it carries no rights of any kind.

We hold no position in any coin — not the one we launched for ourselves, and not any coin launched through the registry. We do not buy them, sell them or hold them, and we do not intend to. That is a deliberate choice rather than a description of where things happen to stand today: we create these coins and we know about them before anyone else does, so buying one at any point would be trading on a head start nobody else has. If it ever changes, this page will say so before it changes, not after.

More generally, we are paid two ways and both are disclosed: a one-time fee in ETH when a coin is created, and a share of the creator-side trading fees that Pons pays in $COST on coins launched through the registry. The rest of the creator side goes to whoever claimed the item. We take nothing else, we do not trade any of these coins, and we do not hold a position in any of them.

Risk

Memecoins can go to zero. Bonding curves charge fees on every trade and a 99% tax on buys in the first seconds after launch. Graduated liquidity is locked forever and cannot be withdrawn by anyone. Stock Tokens are tokenised debt securities issued by Robinhood Assets (Jersey) Ltd and carry their own risks and restrictions. Nothing here is investment, legal or tax advice.

Liability, and what you take on

The site, the catalog and the contracts are provided as is and as available, with no warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy or uninterrupted operation. Catalog data comes from a third-party source and may be wrong or out of date. Chain data may be delayed, incomplete or unavailable.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for lost profits, lost opportunity, lost data or the value of any token, arising out of or connected with the site, the contracts, Pons, Uniswap, Robinhood Chain, $COST, or any coin — whether or not we were told such damages were possible. Some places do not allow these exclusions, in which case they apply only as far as they can.

You are responsible for what you do here: for your wallet and its keys, for the transactions you sign, for the taxes you owe, and for whether any of this is lawful where you are. You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless against claims, losses and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the site, your breach of these terms, or your violation of anyone else’s rights.

Privacy

There are no accounts. Your wallet address is public on the blockchain and is used by the site to show your holdings. Our hosting provider derives an approximate country from your IP address to apply the restrictions above; we do not store it. The site keeps your theme choice in your browser and sets no tracking cookies. Requests to our servers are logged for a short time for security and debugging.

Changes to these terms

We may change these terms. The date at the top of this page is when they last changed, and the current version is always the one published here. If a change is significant we will say so on the site rather than only updating the date. Using the site after a change means you accept the new version; if you do not, stop using it. Changes apply going forward and do not alter anything already written to the blockchain.

If any part of these terms turns out to be unenforceable, the rest still applies. Not enforcing something once does not mean we give it up.

Governing law and disputes

RobinHouse is operated from the United States. These terms, and any dispute arising out of them or out of your use of the site, are governed by the federal laws of the United States of America and by the laws of the state in which the operator is located, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules.

If you have a problem, contact us first and give us a genuine chance to sort it out — most things can be resolved that way, and neither of us wants the alternative. Nothing here stops you from bringing a matter to a regulator or from using a small-claims court where one is available to you.

Note what governing law does not do: it does not decide which regulators have authority over us or over you, and it does not make anything lawful in a place where it is not. You are responsible for whether using this site is lawful where you are, and we are responsible for our own position where we are.
