Getting started

What banked is, how you sign in, and what USDG is.

What banked is

banked lends you USDG against the coins you already hold. Put a memecoin or a tokenized stock into a market, borrow dollars against it, and keep every token. When you repay, you take the coins back out.

It runs on Robinhood Chain. Every market is its own pot: one coin, one pool of lenders, one set of rules. What happens in one coin never touches another.

There are two things to do here:

  • Borrow. Deposit a coin, get a quote, take USDG. Repay whenever you like.
  • Lend. Put USDG into a coin's pot and earn the interest its borrowers pay.

Signing in

The wallet button in the top bar opens a sign-in window. You can use:

  • a browser wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby, or any wallet over WalletConnect,
  • an email address,
  • a Google account,
  • an X account.

If you sign in with email, Google or X and have no wallet yet, one is made for you on the spot. It is yours; the site never holds your keys or your coins.

Your wallet needs to be on Robinhood Chain. If it is on another network the button says so and offers to switch.

What USDG is

USDG is the dollar on Robinhood Chain: one USDG is one dollar. It is the only thing the bank lends and the only thing lenders put in. Amounts on this site are shown in dollars with two decimals.

You can get USDG by swapping on Robinhood Chain, or by borrowing it here against a coin you hold.
