CORIOLIS Built on Robinhood Chain
CORIOLIS

01  Introduction

A decentralized automated liquidity engine on Robinhood Chain

Coriolis is built around an elastic token supply. CRLS is burned whenever a Rotor NFT is minted, emitted daily to Rotor holders, and bought back by the Treasury using claim fees, so the circulating supply is governed entirely by the protocol's rules rather than by any manual decision.

Robinhood Chain is an Ethereum Layer 2 built on Arbitrum, where gas is paid in ETH at a fraction of mainnet cost, which keeps minting, claiming and trading inexpensive.

How the engine works

  1. Burn to mintHolders burn CRLS to mint Rotors, and every mint permanently removes that CRLS from circulation.
  2. EmitEach Rotor pays a daily CRLS reward proportional to the amount burned to create it, and the reward rate halves on a fixed schedule.
  3. Decay on claimEvery claim reduces that Rotor's rate by 15%, while holders who compound instead of claiming keep their full rate.
  4. Route fees to liquidityA 3% sell tax is split evenly, 1% each, between the liquidity pool, USDG payouts to Rotors and the stability fund, and a 20% claim fee paid in ETH funds Treasury buybacks.
  5. Trade freelyRotors trade on OpenSea from the moment they are minted, with no lockups and no in-house marketplace.

Every path through the engine either burns CRLS, deepens liquidity or pays holders, and the only value that leaves the loop is the ETH claim fee, which returns as buybacks.

03  Protocol

Rotors

A Rotor is minted by burning CRLS, and one Rotor costs 10 CRLS. There are six tiers priced in Rotors, and the protocol can fuse lower tiers into higher ones automatically or split a holding when a holder wants to sell part of it.

CRLS burned per tierOne Rotor costs 10 CRLS. Higher tiers are multiples.
Eddy Eddy: 10 CRLS 10 Vortex Vortex: 50 CRLS 50 Maelstrom Maelstrom: 100 CRLS 100 Cyclone Cyclone: 250 CRLS 250 Jetstream Jetstream: 500 CRLS 500 Gyre Gyre: 1,000 CRLS 1,000

There are no monthly fees. Minting carries a flat creation fee of 15 USDG per transaction regardless of how many Rotors are minted in it, plus gas in ETH.

Each Rotor pays daily CRLS along with a share of the USDG allowance, and every CRLS claim reduces that Rotor's rate by 15%, as described under Claim decay.

No lockups

Rotors are standard NFTs on Robinhood Chain and can be listed on OpenSea from the second they are minted, so there is no in-house marketplace to learn or trust. Lockout periods force holders to burn tokens for an asset they cannot sell and then trap them until the window ends, which is why Coriolis has none. A Rotor is worth its market value at all times, and its holder can exit whenever they choose.

Tokenomics

CRLS launches with a fixed supply of 10,000,000 and nothing is minted after launch, so from that point the supply can only fall as Rotor mints burn CRLS and the Treasury burns more through buybacks.

GrossNet of fee

Every Rotor mint burns the full 10 CRLS paid for it, so the supply falls as adoption grows, while rewards are only a fraction of what was burned. A Rotor minted with 10 CRLS earns about 0.10 CRLS a day, or 0.08 net of the claim fee, for the first 150,000 mints, and 0.05 a day, or 0.04 net, after the first halving. On top of the halving schedule, each claim reduces a Rotor's own rate by 15%, so overall emissions fall faster the more the community claims.

The declining emission schedule is deliberate, because projects that overpromise rewards eventually lose control of their supply. The Treasury exists to prevent that outcome: it receives 20% of every claim in ETH and uses those funds to buy back CRLS, cover operations and finance future additions to the engine.

05  Protocol

Claim decay

Every CRLS claim permanently reduces that Rotor's daily rate by 15% of its current rate. The decay is tracked per Rotor, compounds with each claim and never resets, so a Rotor that has been claimed from ten times pays roughly 20% of its original rate, while one that has never been claimed from still pays in full.

rate after n claims = base rate × 0.85n

The base rate is the Rotor's rate at its current halving level.

Daily rate vs claims madeOne Rotor after the halving. Each claim multiplies its rate by 0.85.

The chart below follows a single Rotor at the post-halving rate for 24 months under three claiming habits, counting net CRLS after the 20% fee. A holder who compounds throughout and claims once at the end finishes with more than three times as much as a monthly claimer and about fourteen times as much as a weekly claimer.

Rules

  • Decay is applied the moment a claim settles, after the 20% ETH fee has been taken.
  • Decay is tracked per Rotor, so claiming from one Rotor does not affect any other Rotor in the same wallet.
  • Compounding unclaimed rewards into a new Rotor does not count as a claim, so it carries no fee and no decay.
  • The USDG allowance is exempt from both the claim fee and decay.
  • Decay follows the Rotor rather than the wallet. A Rotor sold on OpenSea carries its claim count and current rate in its token metadata, so buyers can see both on the listing.
  • Halvings and decay stack, so a Rotor's rate is its halving level rate multiplied by 0.85 raised to the number of claims made against it.

The effect is that the engine rewards patience. Holders who let rewards compound into higher tiers keep their full rate, every claim reduces the outflow of CRLS from the Treasury, and together with the 10 CRLS burn per mint and the halving schedule, decay gives the protocol a third mechanism for keeping supply under control.

06  Protocol

Rewards

Rotor holders earn daily CRLS emissions as well as a USDG allowance, which is funded by 1% of every sell and split evenly across all Rotors, so it grows with trading volume.

Everything a holder has earned can be claimed in a single transaction, and because gas on Robinhood Chain is minimal, that transaction costs almost nothing.

Holders can also skip claiming altogether. The Treasury tracks unclaimed rewards, which can be compounded directly into new Rotors without paying the claim fee or triggering decay, making compounding the cheapest way to grow a position.

07  Protocol

Fees

There is no buy tax and there never will be. The 3% sell tax funds the engine, and while the Treasury may lower it over time, it can never be raised.

Where the 3% sell tax goesThree equal slices on every sell. Buys are untaxed.
Liquidity pool: 1% of every sell 1% Liquidity pool USDG to Rotors: 1% of every sell 1% USDG to Rotors Stability fund: 1% of every sell 1% Stability fund
  • Buy tax0%
  • Sell tax, liquidity1% to the CRLS pool
  • Sell tax, allowance1% in USDG to Rotors
  • Sell tax, stability1% to buybacks, burns, marketing
  • Creation fee15 USDG per mint tx
  • Claim fee20% of the claim, in ETH
  • Claim decay15% of the rate per claim

Each sell deepens the CRLS liquidity pool, pays Rotor holders in USDG and funds buybacks, burns and marketing through the stability fund.

FAQ

What is Coriolis?

Coriolis is a decentralized automated liquidity engine on Robinhood Chain. CRLS is burned to mint Rotor NFTs, which pay daily CRLS and a USDG allowance, and the combination of burns, halvings, claim decay and buybacks keeps the supply elastic without anyone steering it.

How do I get CRLS?

CRLS is available on decentralized exchanges on Robinhood Chain and is not listed on any centralized exchange.

Why is there a sell tax?

The 3% sell tax funds the engine, with 1% going to liquidity, 1% to USDG payouts for Rotor holders and 1% to the stability fund. There is no buy tax.

What is a Rotor?

A Rotor is an NFT minted by burning CRLS. It pays daily CRLS, less a 20% claim fee in ETH, along with a share of the 1% of sell volume that is distributed in USDG.

What is claim decay?

Each CRLS claim permanently reduces that Rotor's daily rate by 15% of its current rate. Compounding into a new Rotor does not count as a claim, and USDG claims are exempt.

Does decay reset if I sell?

No. Decay follows the Rotor, and its claim count and current rate are stored in the token metadata, where they appear on the OpenSea listing.

How do I get a Rotor?

Either burn CRLS through the protocol or buy one on OpenSea.

Are Rotors locked after minting?

No. Rotors can be traded on OpenSea from the moment they are minted.
