FAQ
Short answers to the questions that come up most.
Why is gas paid in $STONKBROKER?
Orbit chains can designate any parent-chain ERC-20 as their gas token. Choosing $STONKBROKERmeans every transaction on the network is denominated in the community’s own asset, and users only ever have to hold one thing.
Do I need ETH on StonkBrokerChain?
No. There is no ETH on the chain at all. You need a little ETH on Robinhood Chain for the deposit and claim transactions there, and nothing else.
Does bridging change the supply?
No. Bridging locks $STONKBROKER in escrow on Robinhood Chain and mints the exact same amount as the native coin on StonkBrokerChain, 1:1. Withdrawing reverses it.
How long do withdrawals take?
Minutes, not days — see Fast Finality. Deposits take roughly one minute in the other direction.
Who holds my funds?
Nobody. Bridged $STONKBROKER sits in the canonical rollup bridge contracts on Robinhood Chain, and your balance on StonkBrokerChain is controlled by your own keys. Read Security & Trust Model for the parts that are still operator-trusted.
Can I deploy my own contracts?
Yes — the chain is permissionless and EVM-equivalent. See Deploying Contracts. You only need a wallet with some $STONKBROKER for gas.
