Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before launching or collecting.

What is NFS?
NFS (Non Fungible Stocks) is a no-code NFT launchpad and marketplace on Robinhood Chain, Robinhood's Ethereum Layer-2. You upload your art, choose the currency and the mint phases, and deploy your own smart contract in one transaction. Your collection instantly gets a public mint page and is listed on the marketplace.
What makes it different from other launchpads?
Two things. Collections can be paid in any token on Robinhood Chain, including Stock Tokens and stablecoins, not only ETH. And every NFT can carry a vault: a fixed amount of tokens locked inside it, in the mint currency or in a different one (mint in ETH, back each NFT with a Stock Token or your project token), which the holder can redeem at any time by burning the NFT. That gives the collection a real floor value.
How does the vault work, step by step?
The creator sets a backing per NFT, say 10 USDG. When someone mints and pays, the platform fee is taken, 10 USDG go into the vault and the rest is the creator's revenue. If a phase is free or cheaper than the backing, or the vault uses a different currency than the mint, the creator must fund a pool first from the dashboard, otherwise those mints are blocked. The creator can only ever withdraw what is above the locked backing. To redeem, the holder opens the NFT page and presses Redeem: the NFT is burned and the backing is sent to their wallet in the same transaction.
What does it cost?
Launching is free: you only pay the network gas for the deployment transaction. NFS keeps a 2.5% fee on paid mints and a 2% fee on marketplace sales, in the same currency the collection uses. Free mints have no platform fee.
Which wallet do I need?
Any Ethereum wallet that supports custom networks: MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, Rainbow and others. When you connect, NFS will offer to add Robinhood Chain to your wallet automatically. Gas is paid in ETH bridged to Robinhood Chain. To mint a collection priced in a token, you also need that token in your wallet and you approve it once before minting.
What are mint phases?
A collection can have up to ten phases, each with its own name, price, start and end time, limit per wallet and allocation. A phase can be public, restricted to an allowlist of wallets, restricted to holders of a specific NFT or token (a token gate), or both. Phases can overlap, and the creator can edit them at any time from the dashboard.
What is a mystery mint?
Collectors mint without knowing which piece they will get. Before minting starts, the order of the artwork is committed on-chain with a provenance hash, so nobody can rearrange it later. At reveal, the contract draws a random starting index and assigns the art. Once the collection is sold out, anyone can trigger the reveal, so it cannot be delayed or manipulated by the creator.
What do I upload?
A folder of images (PNG, JPG, GIF, WEBP or SVG), one per NFT, up to 10,000 items. Optionally add a JSON file with the same name as each image to provide custom names, descriptions and traits. No art yet? The built-in generator turns a folder of layers into a full collection with traits and rarity. Everything is pinned to IPFS.
Who owns the contract and the funds?
You do. Each collection is its own ERC-721 contract with your wallet as the owner. Mint proceeds accumulate in the contract and only you can withdraw them from the dashboard, except for the vault backing, which belongs to the NFT holders.
How does the marketplace work?
Listings are escrow-free: your NFT stays in your wallet, you simply approve the marketplace once per collection. A buyer pays the listed price in ETH in a single transaction that transfers the NFT, pays the creator royalty (ERC-2981) and sends you the rest. Backed NFTs keep their vault when they change hands.
Do I earn dividends on the Stock Tokens in the vault?
Robinhood Stock Tokens handle dividends and splits with an on-chain multiplier: your raw token balance stays the same and the price feed reflects the adjustment, so the USD value of the backing grows automatically. On top of that, creators can send holder payouts in the collection currency at any time (for example royalty revenue), split equally across every NFT; holders claim them from the item page or My NFTs.
Can I buy several items at once?
Yes. On a collection page, open Buy now and use Sweep to take the cheapest listings, up to 20, in a single transaction. If any of them becomes unavailable meanwhile, the whole purchase reverts and nothing is charged.
How are USD values calculated?
Vault backing is converted with Chainlink price feeds published on Robinhood Chain, one per Stock Token plus ETH and USDG. Values refresh about once a minute and are informational.
My collection was minted somewhere else. Can I list it here?
Yes, if your wallet is the owner() of the contract. Open Import, paste the address, describe the page and confirm one transaction. NFS also curates collections it reviews (badge Curated by NFS); if you own one, press Verify ownership on its page to claim it. Imported collections trade with the royalties their contract declares. Phases, vault and holder payouts stay exclusive to collections launched on NFS.
Are collections visible on other marketplaces?
Yes. Collections follow the ERC-721, ERC-2981 and OpenSea metadata standards, so marketplaces that index Robinhood Chain, such as OpenSea and Element, can display and trade them.
Do I need an account?
No. Your wallet is your account. Optionally set a username, avatar and bio in Profile settings (signature only, no gas) so your name appears instead of your address, and share your public page at nfs.family/u/yourname.
How do XP, levels and badges work?
Activity on NFS earns XP automatically: mints, purchases, sales, listings, launches, imports, verifications and dividend payouts. XP fills a bar; when it is full you reach the next of ten levels, each with its own badge shown next to your name. The Leaderboard ranks wallets by XP all-time, 30d and 7d.
How do I get the verified badge?
Link your X (Twitter) account from Profile settings. NFS only reads your public handle, never posts, and one X account can verify one wallet. Verified profiles show a blue badge next to the name everywhere on the site.
What is Ring of Stocks and the $NFS token?
Ring of Stocks is the membership collection of NFS: rings vault-backed in $NFS whose holders earn 2x XP, get allowlist phases on launches and receive 20% of platform fees, while 70% of every fee buys and burns $NFS. Details and dates on the Rings page.
Can I change things after launch?
Phases, prices, dates, allowlists, token gates, pause, reveal, and the mint page (description, links, cover, banner) can be changed by the owner from the dashboard. Maximum supply, currency, vault amount and reveal mode are fixed at launch so collectors can trust them.
