# Welcome to Dust

Dust invests your spare change, onchain. You opt in once, and every swap you make gets rounded up to the next dollar. The difference goes into a basket of blue-chip Stock Tokens that you choose, and it grows quietly in the background while you trade.

You bought a meme coin. We bought you a piece of Nvidia with the change.

That is the whole product. There is no portfolio to manage, no deposit schedule to keep, no willpower involved. You trade the way you already trade, and three months later you open your vault and find you accidentally own $80 of the market.

Dust lives on Robinhood Chain, the Layer 2 where Stock Tokens trade around the clock against USDG, the dollar stablecoin. It is also available on Solana, on Arc, Circle's USDC-native chain, and on Base, where it buys Coinbase's tokenized stocks through Aerodrome. [Why Robinhood Chain](/dustprotocol-docs/the-details/robinhood-chain.md) explains the home; [Also on Solana](/dustprotocol-docs/the-details/solana.md), [Also on Arc](/dustprotocol-docs/the-details/arc.md) and [Also on Base](/dustprotocol-docs/the-details/base.md) cover the others.

## What you'll find in these docs

If you are new here, start with [The problem](/dustprotocol-docs/the-problem.md) and [How Dust works](/dustprotocol-docs/how-dust-works.md). Together they take about five minutes and cover everything most people want to know.

If you are ready to use Dust, go straight to [Getting started](/dustprotocol-docs/getting-started.md).

If you are the kind of person who reads the fine print (we like you), the pages on [custody](/dustprotocol-docs/the-details/wallets-and-custody.md), [fees](/dustprotocol-docs/the-details/fees.md), [security](/dustprotocol-docs/the-details/security.md), and [risks](/dustprotocol-docs/reference/risks-and-disclosures.md) say exactly how your money moves, what we charge, what we can and cannot touch, and what could go wrong.

## Where things stand

Dust runs on Robinhood Chain, its home, and is also available on Solana, Arc and Base. On Robinhood Chain the contracts are deployed on mainnet, the keeper runs on production infrastructure, and the full loop has been verified against live mainnet state: a round-up, a sweep into Stock Tokens at the quoted price, and a withdrawal back out. On Solana the program is deployed to mainnet and the same loop has been run with real money, through Jupiter into xStocks and back. On Arc the same audited contracts, byte for byte, are deployed to mainnet with a keeper running, and the loop was verified against live Arc state before deploy: USDC round-ups into cirBTC, Circle's Bitcoin, which is the only deep asset on Arc so far. On Base the same contracts sit behind a small Aerodrome adapter and buy Coinbase's tokenized stocks through Aerodrome Slipstream pools, verified against live Base state before deploy. The Robinhood Chain contracts have been audited by [CredShields](https://credshields.com) (twelve findings, none critical, all fixed and re-verified; [full report](https://github.com/Credshields/audit-reports/blob/master/Audit_Report_Dust.pdf)). What stands between that and opening the doors is a capped, invite-only beta on Robinhood Chain, and on Solana the program's own audit. These docs describe the protocol as built, and flag what is proven versus what is still gated. We would rather tell you plainly what is not ready than let you assume everything is. The [roadmap](/dustprotocol-docs/reference/roadmap.md) has the current status.

## The one-paragraph version for busy people

Dust is non-custodial: your assets sit in a wallet only you control, and you grant Dust one narrow, revocable permission that lets it move only your round-up change, only into your own vault position, under a weekly cap you set. We never hold your keys, never pool your funds, and never decide what to buy on your behalf beyond the rule you set yourself.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://dustprotocol.gitbook.io/dustprotocol-docs/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
