Onchain protection protocol · Robinhood Chain
The protection layer for Robinhood Chain. Coverage for token loss events in tokenized stock markets and new launches, settled automatically in USDC.
Checks run against the same engine Sentinel uses. Nothing is signed or stored about you.
Migration
HERA now runs on Robinhood Chain. The previous deployment is retired and is no longer operated or monitored by the protocol. The terms for holders of the previous contract are published on the migration page as they are finalised; nothing on this site should be read as a promise before then.
The problem, and the answer
The problem
The answer
hera turns activity into a reserve that answers when a loss event happens.
Robinhood Chain hosts tokenized stock markets and new token launches. HERA is a protocol on that chain that maintains a transparent onchain reserve and uses it to cover verified token loss events in those markets. Protocol activity funds the reserve; monitoring watches the chain without interruption; when an event is verified and the dispute window closes, eligible holders are settled in USDC without filing anything by hand.
What HERA is
Liquidity, supply and transfer behaviour are observed across Robinhood Chain without interruption, so a loss event is detected close to the moment it occurs rather than long after the fact.
The protection reserve is held onchain and is verifiable at any block. Its allocation, its balance and every settlement leaving it are public by construction.
Eligible holders receive a settlement in USDC directly. No claim form, no queue, no discretionary approval.
How it works
A fixed share of protocol fees is routed into the protection reserve at the point of collection. The reserve grows with usage rather than with promises, and its allocation is set in the contract, not decided after the fact.
Covered tokens are watched continuously. Liquidity depth, supply changes, ownership state and transfer permissions are sampled block by block and compared against the thresholds that define a loss event.
When thresholds are crossed, the event is declared and the evidence is written onchain: the block, the transaction, the measured change. A dispute window opens before anything is paid, so a declaration can be challenged while it is still reversible.
Once the window closes, the settlement set is computed from pre-event balances. Payouts are pro-rata, capped at each holder’s verified loss and at the per-event share of the reserve, and are sent in USDC.
Products
Each part of HERA is a product in its own right, with its own contract surface and its own page in the documentation. Together they form the protection layer.
Coverage for holders.
Shield is the coverage itself: the conditions under which a holder’s loss is recognised, and the settlement that follows. It applies to covered tokens quoted in USDC on Robinhood Chain without enrolment. If a loss event is verified and an address is eligible, Shield settles it.
Read the docsContinuous onchain monitoring.
Sentinel is the monitoring agent. It samples liquidity depth, supply, ownership state and transfer permissions for covered tokens block by block, and declares a loss event onchain when a defined threshold is crossed — with the evidence written alongside the declaration.
Read the docsThe protection reserve.
Reserve is the USDC balance every settlement is paid from. It is funded by a fixed share of protocol fees at the point of collection, held onchain, and readable at any block. Its balance is the whole of HERA’s capacity to pay, and it is published without adjustment.
Read the docsAutomatic USDC payouts.
Settlement computes the eligible set from balances at the event block and pays it — pro-rata to $HERA holdings and capped at each holder’s verified loss — once the dispute window closes. Nothing is filed; a payout is an ordinary USDC transfer on Robinhood Chain.
Read the docsToken and fee tiers.
$HERA determines a holder’s pro-rata share in a settlement and is bought back with a fixed share of protocol fees. Holding it above published thresholds places an address in a fee tier with a reduced protocol fee. Tiers and thresholds are draft parameters and will be published before launch.

Statement of position
Robinhood Chain · USDC denominated
The reserve contract is not yet deployed on Robinhood Chain. These figures are published directly from it the moment it is, and are not estimated, projected or modelled before then.
Contract address: TBA
Coverage criteria
Coverage is defined narrowly and mechanically. Both columns must hold: the event must qualify, and the address must be eligible. Only markets quoted in USDC are covered, because only those losses can be measured without a price feed.
Use cases
Trade tokenized stock markets on Robinhood Chain with a reserve standing behind verified loss events. Coverage attaches to the token, not to a position, so there is nothing to opt into and nothing to renew — for markets quoted in USDC.
Show coverage status on every new launch with the Covered by HERA badge. Tokens that clear the minimum age and volume are covered automatically, and the status is readable by anyone through the API.
A covered token tells holders that liquidity removal, supply changes after renouncement and blocked transfers have a reserve behind them. That is a stronger statement than a renounced contract on its own.
Every figure HERA publishes is read from the chain and can be reproduced from the contracts. Treasuries and DAOs can verify the reserve, the allocation and every settlement without trusting this site.
Settlement feed
Preview only. The rows below are sample data illustrating the format of the live feed. The feed reads from the indexer once HERA is live on Robinhood Chain.
For partners
An embeddable badge for launchpads and token pages that shows a token’s coverage status. Three states, one visual system, served from this domain so it stays current as the protocol changes.
Covered
The token meets the coverage conditions.
Under review
The token is being assessed against the minimums.
Not covered
The token does not currently qualify.

hello@hera.moneyQuestions
HERA covers verified loss events on tokens that meet the protocol’s minimum age and volume requirements and trade against USDC on Robinhood Chain: liquidity removal, supply manipulation after renouncement, blocked transfers, and abnormal collapse within a short window. It does not cover ordinary market losses. A position that falls in value because the market moved is not a loss event, and will not be settled.
Protection for Robinhood Chain, held in reserve and settled in USDC.
