the 3-month T-bill that sets the rate. $BYTODE passes it through, net of fee, on Robinhood Chain
02 — How it works
The Treasury bill,
re-issued as code.
The same instrument central banks price the world against — now subscribable, redeemable and self-custodied on Robinhood Chain.
STEP 1
Subscribe → mint
Send USDC and the transfer agent issues $BYTODE to your whitelisted wallet at the current NAV. Minimum ticket 1 — no qualified-purchaser gate on the retail class.
STEP 2
Bills accrue → NAV rebases
Your reserve holds 0–3 month U.S. Treasury bills, overnight reverse-repo and a cash buffer at a regulated qualified custodian. The bills' coupon passes through daily, net of a 0.15% management fee — NAV simply rises.
STEP 3
Redeem → T+0
Burn $BYTODE and receive stablecoins back, with instant T+0 settlement against the fund's liquidity buffer. No lock-ups, no gates — the T-bill window on Robinhood Chain never closes.
03 — Reserve
102.1% reserved,
attested daily.
An independent agent attests the bills held in custody every 24 hours and hashes the report to Robinhood Chain. Reserves exceed tokens outstanding — every bill is on the record.

07 — FAQ
Asked, answered, on the record.
What actually backs $BYTODE?+
A basket of short-dated (0–3 month) U.S. Treasury bills, overnight reverse-repo collateralized by Treasuries, and a small USDC cash buffer — held one-for-one against tokens outstanding by a regulated custodian. Reserves are 102.1% of liabilities and attested every 24 hours.
Where does the yield come from?+
The ordinary coupon of U.S. government debt. The bills accrue toward par; that accrual passes through to holders daily, net of a 0.15% management fee, as a rising NAV. Nothing is farmed or emitted — the 4.52% tracks the T-bill curve.
How do I verify the reserves exist?+
An independent attestation agent reconciles the custodian's holdings against tokens outstanding and publishes a signed proof-of-reserve report — with CUSIP-level detail — hashed to Robinhood Chain every 24 hours. The full ledger lives on the Reserves page.
Why Robinhood Chain?+
It is the Arbitrum-Orbit Ethereum L2 purpose-built for tokenized real-world assets — sub-cent fees, seconds to settle, self-custody, and a bridge into Ethereum DeFi. Gas is paid in ETH; there is no separate network token. The risk-free rate belongs on the chain built for RWA.
How fast can I redeem?+
Instantly. Redemption burns your $BYTODE and returns stablecoins against the fund's liquidity buffer with T+0 settlement — the T-bill window on Robinhood Chain is open 24/7/365. Larger redemptions draw on maturing bills on a same-day basis.
