Shoply —

Robinhood Chain · chain id —

Cut one share into a floor and a kite.

Shoply is a design for tokenized shares. Lock one, and get two pieces back: Ballast, which keeps the steady part and hands over big gains, and Kite, which catches everything above a ceiling you can read before you commit.

Pre-launch. No contract is live, so protocol figures show — when unknown. A dash means unknown, never zero.

Mechanism

One share in, two claims out

Payout by final price Ballast rises with the final price until the ceiling, then flattens. Kite is zero until the ceiling, then rises one for one. ——

Steady leg

Ballast

Follows the share up to the ceiling and stops there. In return the holder collects the auction premium up front. Fits someone who wants a cushion more than a rocket.

  • Value is capped at the ceiling price
  • Earns the premium paid by Kite
  • Loses along with the share on the way down
Reach leg

Kite

Costs little, pays nothing until the share clears the ceiling, then pays every cent above it. Fits someone who wants exposure to a breakout without buying the whole share.

  • Worth zero at or below the ceiling
  • One-for-one above the ceiling
  • Maximum loss is the auction price

Backing

Held, not borrowed

No loan underneath

Nothing is lent against anything. The locked share is the only backing, and it sits in the vault until close.

No funding meter

There is no running fee ticking against either side. The price you pay at auction is the whole cost.

No forced exit

Without leverage there is no liquidation price. A bad week hurts, but it cannot close you out mid-round.

Round flow

Five moves, start to close

Use the arrow keys to move between steps.

01

Lock

Deposit one tokenized share into a vault. It stays there until the round closes.

Glossary

Fifteen terms worth knowing

01

Whole

The tokenized share you lock. Everything else is measured against its price.

02

Ballast

The heavy piece. It tracks the share up to a ceiling, then stops climbing.

03

Kite

The light piece. It pays only for gains above the ceiling and is worth nothing below.

04

Ceiling

A price fixed before the round begins, so both sides know the deal in advance.

05

Round

A fixed window. Pieces live for one round, then the books close.

06

Auction

Kite is sold to the highest bidder; the winning bid is the premium.

07

Premium

What the kite buyer pays the ballast holder for taking the upside.

08

Vault

The locked share sits here for the whole round and cannot be touched in between.

09

Final price

One reading at close decides how the vault pays out to each piece.

10

Rejoin

Hold both pieces and you can fuse them back into the original share at any time.

11

Series

A run of rounds on the same share with the same ceiling rule.

12

Open listing

Any share that meets the published rules can get its own series.

13

Plain tokens

Both pieces are ordinary fungible tokens, so they move like any other token.

14

No leverage

There is nothing to borrow against, so no margin calls and no forced exits.

15

Open ledger

Locks, bids and payouts are all readable on chain by anyone.

Rejoin

Pieces can go back together

Hold one Ballast and one Kite from the same series and you can fuse them back into the share they came from. Nothing is lost by cutting, and nothing forces you to stay cut.

Earn on the steady side

Ballast holders collect the premium paid at auction.

Reach for the upside

Kite gives breakout exposure for a fraction of the share price.

Undo it whenever

Fuse both pieces to get the original share back before close.
