How Bridge Money works

1. Overview

Bridge Money is settlement infrastructure for creator fees. A token routes its creator fees to a Bridge Money fee address, the protocol claims them on chain, and 80% is paid in dollars to the creator the token names. The other 20% funds the protocol. Every step is recorded against the claim that produced it.

The creator does not have to do anything first. There is no account to open and no wallet to connect in advance, so a payout can come from a launch they have never seen. Nothing moves out of a creator's balance without that creator.

1. 1A token routes its feesAt launch, the deployer sets the Bridge Money fee address for the chosen account as the creator fee recipient.
2. 2The description names the creatorOne line tells readers who is paid, for example “Fees to @yourhandle via Bridge Money”.
3. 3The token is indexedThe indexer sees the routing on chain and lists the token. There is no approval queue.
4. 4Fees are claimedAccrued creator fees are claimed on a schedule and each claim is recorded against its own transaction.
5. 5The creator is paid in dollarsThe creator proves the account and withdraws the share as USDG in one transaction, gas covered.

2. Supported platforms

A creator is an account somewhere. Bridge Money pays the account a token names, and the creator proves it is theirs with that same account.

X

Named by handle. The fee address follows the account's permanent id, so a rename changes nothing.

Spotify

Artists by artist link, users by user id. Artist pages have no sign-in, so artist shares are paid on request and recorded on chain.

Twitch

Named by channel. The fee address follows the numeric channel id, so renaming the channel changes nothing.

GitHub

People and organizations, by username or link. The fee address follows the numeric account id.

Wallet

Any address on Robinhood Chain. Shares are pushed to it automatically, no sign-in involved.

3. Network and venue

Bridge Money runs on Robinhood Chain (chain id 4663). Tokens launch on a bonding curve and graduate into a pool with locked liquidity; the creator fee rate is the same before and after graduation.

Chain

Robinhood Chain, id 4663, native gas in ETH

Pairing

ETH by default. A launch priced in an approved token pays fees in that token and is settled from it.

Other chains

Not supported. A token whose fee recipient is not a Bridge Money fee address is not indexed.

4. Routing fees

The creator fee recipient is set when the token is created, next to its name and image. The launch page fills it in from the account you pick, so routing fees is part of creating the token rather than a second step.

There is no separate lock. Only the current recipient can hand the fees on, so once Bridge Money holds them the deployer cannot take them back. A token launched earlier can be registered later: its current recipient transfers the fees to the fee address for the chosen account, which the Register tab does in one transaction.

5. The fee line

The fee address already decides who is paid. The fee line exists so that people reading the token know it too. Put one of these in the description:

• Fees to @yourhandle via Bridge Money for X
• Fees to spotify:artistid via Bridge Money for a Spotify artist
• Fees to twitch:channel via Bridge Money or github:username for those platforms

Keep the format exact and write anything else around it. The launch page adds the line for you; the whole description is limited to 256 characters.

6. The 80/20 split

Every claim divides the same way. Nothing is negotiated and there are no tiers.

To the creator

80%, withdrawn in dollars by the named account

To the protocol

20%, sent to the treasury in the same transaction

When

Per claim, at claim time, on chain

Extra fees

None. The 20% is all of it.

Can it change

The creator share can be raised, never lowered below 50%.

7. How claims work

Creator fees do not arrive continuously. They build up on the curve, or in the pool after graduation, and reach escrow when the launchpad sweeps them. Bridge Money claims from escrow on a schedule rather than on every trade, because claiming per trade would cost more in gas than a quiet token earns.

Each claim is written to the ledger under its own transaction, so it cannot be counted twice and every balance can be traced back to the event that created it.

Payout milestones

A creator's share builds until it crosses $20, then $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000 and every $1,000 after that. Each crossing pays the full balance. Smaller balances stay credited and carry forward.

8. Getting paid

If a token named your account, the money is already yours. There is no form to fill in: prove the account on the payout status page and withdraw in dollars whenever you like.

You are not required to acknowledge or accept anything. Receiving a payment does not make you a customer of Bridge Money or a promoter of the token that named you. Payments may be taxable where you live; nothing here is tax advice.

9. Claim or push

A share reaches its creator in one of two ways, and the platform decides which.

Claim

The share is credited on chain in the account's name. The creator proves the account and withdraws USDG; gas is covered. Nobody else can move it.

Push

The share is sent to an address the creator already has, whenever it crosses a milestone. Used for wallet recipients.

Either way the payout is recorded against the account's fee address, so nothing is paid twice, and a creator can ask to be left out at any time.

10. The public receipt

Every payout is announced. @bridgemoneycash posts the amount and the token it came from, and every claim and payout is listed on the payments page. Most creators were not asked before a token named them, so the receipt is usually how they find out.

11. Treasury and settlement

Tokens earn their fees in ETH on Robinhood Chain; creators are paid in dollars. The treasury is where the two meet: fees are claimed on chain, the creator share is converted to USDG and credited, and the protocol share stays in the treasury.

12. The $BRIDGE token

$BRIDGE is the Bridge Money token on Robinhood Chain. Its contract address is shown in the header and footer of every page once it is published; until then the copy buttons show that it is coming. The burned share of its supply on the analytics page is read live from the chain.

13. Stopping payments

On X, Spotify, Twitch and GitHub, Bridge Money never pushes money to you: a balance is credited in your name and only you can withdraw it. Wallet recipients are paid automatically, and asking to be left out stops that from the next claim. Use the opt-out page, or write from the account to @bridgemoneycash or [email protected]. Removal is honored within 7 days, and anything already credited to you stays yours.

14. If a token is not showing

Wrong recipient

The creator fee recipient is not a Bridge Money fee address. Compare it with the address the launch page gave you.

Unknown account

The fee address belongs to an account nobody looked up here before the launch. Register the token from the Register tab.

Too recent

The indexer reads the chain every minute. A token created seconds ago has not been seen yet.

Redirected

The fees were moved away from Bridge Money. The token stays listed but no longer pays the creator.
