Chapter I
What RocketSwap is
RocketSwap. The trading app at rocketswap.fun. It is a router, not an exchange that holds deposits. You keep the keys. The app finds a pool route on Robinhood Chain and your wallet signs the trade.
Robinhood Chain is the only chain. Its id is 4663. RocketSwap does not run its own automated market maker, its own order book, or its own stablecoin. It routes liquidity that is already there: Uniswap v2, v3, and v4, a Pons bonding curve, and a Pons pool after a token graduates.
Non-custodial. At no point does RocketSwap take possession of the wallet. A swap pulls the sell amount for that transaction. A TWAP pulls one slice when that slice is due. Cancel, and later slices are not pulled. Disconnect does not stop a TWAP. It does stop Recurring, because Recurring is only a timer in the browser.
Quote. An off-chain price. The app asks the pools what a trade would return, subtracts the protocol fee, and shows the result. The quote is not the trade. The trade is the transaction you sign, or the order a filler or keeper settles.
The protocol fee is 15 basis points of the token you sell. A basis point is one hundredth of one percent, so 15 basis points is 0.15%. The formula is fee = sell ร 15 / 10_000. Where that fee goes is the Fees chapter. Short version: selling ๐ burns it in the swap. Selling anything else sends it to the treasury to be held for a ๐ buyback and burn.
The four ways to trade
- Swap. One transaction, market price, you pay the gas.
- TWAP. One signature, then the contract fills slices after you disconnect.
- Limit and Gasless. You sign an order. Someone else settles it.
- Recurring. The same swap, repeated by a timer, only while the tab stays open.
RocketSwap and RocketFi are different products. RocketSwap trades tokens that already exist. RocketFi is the launch product. This book is mostly RocketSwap. RocketFi has its own preface, then the trading chapters begin.
You are reading the local book. It is not the live site.
