The honest print
Plain terms
The honest print, kept large. If any of this surprises you later, we wrote it here first.
- Deployment. The VOW factory is deployed at 0xF53f851E8e728BA79880f9cA76D15b1591a72e31 on Robinhood Chain through pons v2. Board figures are read from the chain; completed nonprofit donations appear separately on the ledger.
- Not a donation in your name. Batches settle through The Giving Block with the VOW settlement wallet as the donor of record. A US deduction requires a contribution to a section 170(c) organization and a written acknowledgment from that organization to the donor, and a swap fee produces neither, so trading a coin on VOW is not a tax-deductible donation by you. See the IRS virtual currency FAQ and Publication 1771. Nothing here is tax advice.
- Costs come out first. Gas and bridge costs are paid from the flow before the nonprofit receives fiat. Both are reported per batch on the ledger.
- 100% is the commitment. All collected creator fees go to the cause, before disclosed settlement costs. The creator keeps none. This says nothing about how much anyone will trade.
- Built on Robinhood Chain. Trading is provided through pons v2. Protocol fees, creator tax, fixed supply, graduation rules and launch fees are read from the live settings before launch.
- No affiliations claimed. VOW is independent. It is not endorsed by or affiliated with Robinhood Markets, Robinhood Chain, pons, The Giving Block, or any listed nonprofit.
- Not investment advice. Coins launched here are memecoins with a charity routing parameter. They can go to zero. The vow changes where fees go, not what a coin is.
- What the chain enforces, and what it cannot. The 100% commitment, the cause binding, and the fee route are contract code with no admin key. Converting the committed fees and donating it through The Giving Block is desk work, done off-chain and reported on the ledger, batch by batch. The route marks every step with which of the two it is.
- Unaudited. The vault contracts have not had an external audit yet. That line will be updated when it stops being true, and not before.
