Fourteen steps, no shortcuts: wallet + network, metadata, source-verified assets, binding fuses, bounded fees, disclosed lockup, creator acknowledgment, creation fee, skin in game, deploy, publish, receipt. Public deposits stay behind the legal-readiness gate.
step 1 · connect wallet + switch to Robinhood Chain
Vault chain: Robinhood Chain. Vault deposits use USDG on Robinhood Chain. x402 payments may use Base where configured.
Connecting a wallet is not a Robinhood brokerage connection and does not authorize any trading. Robinhood MCP is not used for pooled vault execution.
Connect a wallet from the nav to begin. The wizard stays usable read-only without one.
step 2 · vault metadata
step 3 · base asset + allowed assets (source-verified only)
Pick from the source-verified registry. Tokenized equities provide economic exposure — not direct stock ownership — are restricted for U.S. persons, and every entry starts with live rebalancing disabled until oracle, liquidity, and legal readiness pass.
step 4 · fuses (all binding, fail closed)
Plus the non-negotiable fuses: oracle freshness, verified-route liquidity policy, emergency pause, legal-readiness status, jurisdiction gate, receipt logging, and post-rebalance audit — always on.
step 5 · fees + withdrawal policy
| Vault creation fee | 100 USDG | Paid once by the creator to the HISS protocol treasury. |
| Creator performance fee | 10% of profits above the high-water mark | Configurable 0–20%. Never charged on losses. |
| HISS protocol share | 20% of the creator performance fee | Carved from the creator fee — not charged separately to depositor principal. |
| Rebalance routing fee | 2 bps of rebalance notional | Bounds 0.5–5 bps; only when HISS routing infrastructure is used. |
| Creator skin in game | 5% of TVL minimum | Creator cannot withdraw below this while public deposits are open. |
step 6 · creator acknowledgment (all required)
Every acknowledgment must be literally true; the ack hash is recorded with the vault candidate. A timestamp is attached when you continue.
step 7 · creation fee, skin in game, deploy
step 8 · receipt + share card
Manifest hash d988decda6dcb1c70c9bd248… · every saved candidate gets a deterministic receipt; share cards carry the vault chain, base asset, fee schedule, and the “Not a performance claim” label.
Public deposits are gated by legal-readiness and audit checks. Pooled public deposits stay disabled until the vault contracts pass a smart-contract audit, the legal signoff completes, and jurisdiction policies are approved. Creators can prepare vault candidates, configure fuses and fees, and seed their own skin-in-game deposits in the meantime.
Current status: contract audit pending · legal signoff pending · jurisdiction policy drafted. Track it on the vault status page.
