Steal from the rich.
It compounds.

A token that taxes the faithless and pays the village.

  • Buys tithe 3 percent, 2 of it to holders
  • Sells give 5 percent, 3 of it to holders
  • The rest funds the band's war chest

Swear the oath

The tale

A ballad in eight verses, sung by the crier, funded by the faithless.

1

The kingdom

The crown taxed the village and called it order.
The barons taxed the road and called it tolls.
The poor paid everyone and received a receipt shaped like nothing.

2

The outlaw

So HobinRood took to the trees.
He read the tax code of the realm and found it lacked imagination.
He wrote a better one in a contract.

3

The law of the forest

Buy, and 3 percent tithes: 2 to the cause, 1 to the chest.
Sell, and 5 percent leaves at the door: 3 to every soul who stayed, 2 to the chest.
No sheriff collects it. The contract pays the greater share to all holders at once.

4

The inversion

In the old world, selling was betrayal.
In Sherwood, selling is charity, entered in the public record.
The leaver is thanked by name. The ledger calls him a saint.

5

The arithmetic

Every trade rings the bell.
The bell pays the congregation.
Hold, and the forest compounds around you.

6

The faithless, reconsidered

Some will leave. The forest does not chase them.
It simply invoices the door.
5 percent at the door, and 3 of the 5 to everyone still inside.

7

The cause

The cause is not a roadmap carved in marble.
The cause is you, holding.
It has always been you, holding.

8

The invitation

Bring a quiver. Bring a wallet.
Robinhood Chain, chain id 4663.
The trees are hiring.

The tithe

Two tolls. The village, and the chest that keeps it fed.

You buy

3 percent: 2 to the village, 1 to the chest

Every buy tithes 3 percent. Two parts reflect to all holders, weighted by bag. One part funds the war chest.

You sell

5 percent: 3 to the village, 2 to the chest

Every sell gives 5 percent at the door. Three parts reflect to everyone still holding. Two parts fund the war chest.

The war chest

1 of the 3 on buys, 2 of the 5 on sells

The rest of the toll funds the war chest, a wallet the band controls. It pays for getting the word out. We say so plainly rather than pretend the forest runs on air.

The Sherwood Exchange

Trade here. The forest watches.

The pool is not yet drawn from the well. No oaths can be sworn. The first rider has not yet left the forest.

  1. The contract is proclaimed. Its address appears in the footer.
  2. The well fills: a pool opens on Robinhood Chain.
  3. The Exchange wakes, and the first oath is sworn.

The ledger of alms

Every sell, recorded as charity. Every buy, recorded as an oath.

Latest entries

    The rider has not yet left the forest. No alms have been given. The ledger waits with its pen ready.

    Your alms

    We take your current balance and subtract your net transferred balance from full transfer history. The difference is what the tithes have paid you.

    The merry men

    Every holder, ranked by bag. The village keeps its own census.

    The camp is not yet pitched. The first merry man has not arrived.

    No one is shamed here. Sellers are saints, for they fed the rest of us. Buyers are sworn, for they tithed. Only silence is suspicious.

    Riders on the road

    Buys spotted before confirmation. Oaths in transit.

    The road is quiet. The watchtower is not yet manned. When the watch is posted, riders appear here before the chain confirms them.

    Ask the Friar

    What is a reflection?

    A reflection is a tax the contract pays back to all holders. Every trade tithes, every holder receives, weighted by bag. No claiming, no staking, no priest.

    What do the taxes actually do?

    The contract takes 3 percent of each buy and 5 percent of each sell. On a buy, 2 of the 3 reflect to every holder and 1 funds the war chest. On a sell, 3 of the 5 reflect and 2 fund the war chest. Reflections reach you by changing balances, with no claiming.

    What is the war chest?

    A wallet the band controls, fed by 1 percent of every buy and 2 percent of every sell. It holds ROOD, not ether, and it pays for getting the word out. It is not reflected to holders and it is not a promise of anything. Watch the address on the public scroll and judge the band by what it spends.

    What are the risks?

    This is a new token on a new chain, and it is unproven. Tax tokens can be abused if a contract is malicious, so read the contract before you buy. Never invest more than you can afford to lose. The Friar cannot absolve a bad entry.

    Is this financial advice?

    No. We are men in tights.

    Where does it trade?

    At the Sherwood Exchange on this site, and anywhere a pool exists on Robinhood Chain.

    What chain is this?

    Robinhood Chain, chain id 4663.

    How do I add the network?

    Press the add-network button at the Exchange. Your wallet asks, you approve, the road appears.

    Why is selling celebrated?

    Because 3 of every 5 percent taken at the door reflects to the holders who stayed. The other 2 fund the war chest. The leaver funds the loyal. Gratitude is only accurate.

    Do I need to claim my reflections?

    No. The contract adds them to your balance automatically. Your bag grows while you do nothing. Doing nothing is the job.

    Can the taxes change?

    The tithe is written in the contract. Verify the code at the address below before you trust a crier.
