Finality Protocol is the settlement layer for tokenized equities on Robinhood Chain. Venues are built to match orders — settlement is a different problem, and every venue that builds its own settlement path builds its own way to break. Finality extracts that second half into a layer venues share.

• ›Atomic delivery-versus-payment — the security leg and the cash leg move in one transaction
• ›Multilateral netting — offsetting positions collapse into net obligations
• ›One canonical registry — one record per underlying, keyed by ticker and ISIN
• ›A public Terminal — anyone can watch the chain settle, no account required

Finality is not a venue: it never matches orders or quotes prices. It is not a custodian: the registry records who custodies, it does not custody. And it is not an oracle: the consideration is whatever the venue matched at.

Affirm

A venue routes a matched trade to Finality. The instruction — security leg, cash leg, both parties — is recorded and validated against balances, transfer rules and eligibility. Nothing moves yet.

Settle

Both legs move inside one atomic transaction: security from seller to buyer, payment from buyer to seller. There is no state where one side paid and the other did not deliver — both settle, or neither does.

Finalize

Offsetting positions across the window net into single transfers per account and security, and the batch reaches deterministic finality on Robinhood Chain in a known block. A desk that buys 400 and sells 380 moves 20 — settlement work scales with participants, not trades.

The Terminal reads Robinhood Chain directly from its public RPC and explorer — every tokenized-equity transfer, holder counts, issued value — and folds any window of movement into a netting session so you can see how much of it never needed to happen.

• ›No account, no wallet, no backend — the browser reads the chain itself
• ›Movement tape: live transfers per security
• ›Netting sessions: fold a window into net obligations and see the removable share
• ›Net positions: who ends the window owing what, per account and security

Every number on the Terminal is re-derivable by anyone from public chain data. It cannot lie — that property is the brand.

Once a day the Terminal opens a prediction window: which security's flow nets down the hardest? Make your call before the cutoff. Results are computed from on-chain final state at a block fixed in advance — deterministic, no oracle, no judge.

Window lifecycle

• ›Commit — submit a hash of your choice plus a salt, with your entry in $FINALITY. Choices stay hidden
• ›Cutoff — a pre-committed block. No entries after it
• ›Reveal — publish your choice and salt. Unrevealed entries forfeit to the pool
• ›Resolve — the outcome derives from chain state at the cutoff block; the pool splits pro-rata among accurate calls

Pool split

Three jobs

• ›Fee-driven burn — a fixed share of protocol fees buys back $FINALITY and burns it
• ›Daily Net entry — calls are made in $FINALITY; the protocol's cut is burned
• ›Access tiers — holding thresholds unlock Terminal Pro and Desk features

Access tiers

Revenue is tied to usage, and so is the burn. No usage, no burn — the chart tells the truth in both directions.

Settlement fees (venues)

1–3 basis points on settled notional, denominated in the asset being settled. No spread, no payment for order flow.

Daily Net rake

• ›No idle custody — engines hold nothing between calls; there is no balance to drain
• ›Chain-derived outcomes — anything result-relevant recomputes from public chain state; the server only orchestrates windows
• ›Commit-reveal — Daily Net choices are hidden until cutoff, so nobody copies the leader or front-runs the tape
• ›Fail-closed access — every mutating API route requires a wallet-signature session; a missing secret locks, never opens
• ›Site-first CA — the contract address appears on finality.finance and the official X simultaneously; every other address is fake

Is Finality custodial?

No. Finality never holds user assets between calls. Settlement moves value inside a single transaction or reads state.

Is this a DEX or a trading app?

Neither. Finality does not match orders or quote prices — venues do that, and their matched trades become final here.

How does the protocol sustain itself?

Basis points on settled notional plus a 10% share of Daily Net pools. A fixed portion of fees buys back and burns $FINALITY.

Is the Daily Net gambling?

It is a skill-based prediction on public data with deterministic, chain-derived outcomes. Odds are never sold and token holdings never change results. Availability may vary by jurisdiction.

When does the token launch?

Phase 2. The contract address appears on this site and the official X first — anything else claiming to be $FINALITY is fake.
