For Robinhood app users

Buying a coin on Frontier resembles buying anything else: pick it, enter an amount, confirm. What differs sits underneath, and the differences are not cosmetic.

Four differences that matter​

The keys are yours. A wallet is not an account with a provider. There is no password reset, no identity check, and no support line able to recover access. Whoever holds the recovery phrase holds the funds. Write it down offline, never type it into a website, and never share it.

Transactions are final. A confirmed transaction cannot be cancelled, reversed or disputed. Sending to the wrong address, or buying a coin that turns out to be a copy of another, is permanent.

Fees are explicit. Every transaction pays network gas, in ETH, to the chain rather than to Frontier. On top of that, trading a coin pays that coin's fee, which is shown before confirming. Trading fees lists what each phase costs.

Anyone can list anything. No coin on Frontier has been vetted, endorsed or reviewed. Names, images and descriptions are chosen freely by whoever creates the coin, including names copied from well-known projects. The address is the only reliable identifier.

What you get in exchange​

Settlement is immediate and visible: every trade, holder and fee movement is on a public chain you can read without asking anyone. The rules of a coin are published before anyone can buy it, and cannot be changed afterwards. Creating a coin costs gas and needs no permission.

Before the first trade​

  • Check the network is Robinhood Chain, id 4663.
  • Keep ETH aside for gas.
  • Read Pre-trade checks before buying a coin you do not know.
  • Assume a coin can go to zero. Most do, on every platform.
