Basket Protocol is a new financial experiment on Robinhood Chain, launched via the $IMD swarm.
Can a community build an ever-evolving onchain index of stocks that earns consistent fees from the price movement of the stocks inside it?
The protocol fully opens up Monday. 🧵
Over the past 24 hours, the Community Stock Basket has generated 130 $BASK in fees.
The majority of these fees were generated with less than $10K in TVL, further demonstrating the mechanism’s potential to deliver sustainable, meaningful value as TVL grows.
We’re also working on new products designed to drive even more value across the Basket Ecosystem.
More to share soon ❤️
$ITEM is live. The vault's fee switch to ITEM staking is queued onchain and can execute from Wed 10/21.

Not financial advice.
Most DeFi yield is taken from someone: holders, latecomers, or the losing side of a bet.
Basket Protocol's yield comes from somewhere else: the stock market moving.
Here's how $BASK earns, who actually pays, and why its farmers hold stocks and dollars, not memecoins. 🧵
It's not risk-free. Stocks can fall, ITEM's price can fall, LPs carry the usual pool risk, and no volume means no fees.
But every source of yield here is one you can point to onchain: stocks moving, and people choosing to close the gap.
