ArrowDAO documentation

ArrowDAO is a treasury-backed reserve protocol deployed on Robinhood Chain. This section explains what the contracts actually do, in the order it makes sense to learn them.

Deployment status. The contracts are live on Robinhood Chain, but the protocol has not been funded yet: ARW supply and treasury reserves are both currently zero, and no rewards are being distributed. The numbers on the dashboard are read straight from the chain, so they will show real values the moment that changes.

Where to start

| If you want to | Read | | --- | --- | | Understand the idea | What is ArrowDAO | | Know what ARW, sARW and gARW are | Tokens | | Stake and earn rebases | Staking | | Buy discounted ARW with reserve assets | Bonds | | Understand backing and redemption | Treasury | | Connect a wallet | Network | | Verify an address | Contracts |

The short version

The treasury holds reserve assets. It mints ARW only against those assets, so every ARW in circulation is backed by something the protocol actually owns.

Reserves enter through bonding: you sell an asset to the treasury and receive ARW at a discount, vested over a term. Holders stake ARW to receive sARW, which rebases each epoch, and can wrap sARW into gARW when they need a token whose balance does not move.

Governance — currently a single authority address — sets the parameters: epoch length, reward rate, which assets the treasury accepts, and who may mint.

Lineage

ArrowDAO is built on the OlympusDAO contract set. Staking, the rebasing token, the wrapped token, the bond depository and the treasury are all derived from that codebase, with the Olympus naming replaced throughout and one addition of our own — the Redeemer, a public facility for burning ARW back into reserve assets.

If you have used Olympus, the mental model carries over directly.
