Helix Docs
Put your money to work: provide liquidity, earn real fees, and grow the ecosystem you are already using.
Helix makes providing liquidity easy. Full customization, detailed tracking, and every fee traced back to what you put in. No wallet access, no lockups, nothing to trust but the contract.
What is LPing?
LPing, short for liquidity providing, means depositing tokens into a pool so other people have something to trade against. Every swap through that pool pays a fee, and liquidity providers split it, sized to what they put in.
That is the core mechanism. Everything else on this page is detail on top of it.
Why liquidity matters
Every new token needs a market before it needs anything else. More tokens launch every day, across more chains, and each one needs people willing to sit on both sides of a trade so buyers and sellers can actually meet.
That is what LPs do. Not a side character in DeFi — the infrastructure everything else sits on top of. A token with no liquidity is a token nobody can actually trade, no matter how good the launch behind it.
Helix exists for the people doing that work. On Robinhood Chain, and on Solana.
Price stability
More liquidity means less price impact per trade.
Execution
Bigger orders fill without getting wrecked by slippage.
Market health
Liquid markets recover faster from shocks.
Trading strategy
Knowing where liquidity sits helps you time entries and exits.
Why Helix
Helix exists because managing LP positions on most platforms is tedious and not user friendly. Everything here is built to remove that friction, by liquidity providers who have felt it firsthand.
Built for LPs, by LPs
The team uses Helix daily to manage its own positions. Every feature exists because we needed it ourselves, not because it looked good in a deck.
Earn money by providing liquidity
Deposit into a pool, traders pay to swap against it, and your share streams to you automatically. That is the entire earn loop.
Two core mechanics
Helix has two halves that feed each other. Neither depends on the other to work.
Stakes
Put liquidity into a token pool and collect a share of the fees traders pay on it.
Pools
Build a shaped position from a single coin and manage it from one page.
Based on Robinhood Chain and Solana fees from real trading.
Getting Started
Everything you need before your first deposit: a wallet, a little gas, and five minutes.
Connecting your wallet
On Robinhood Chain, Helix connects through any standard EVM wallet on Robinhood Chain mainnet (chain id 4663). MetaMask and Rabby cover most people; anything that supports WalletConnect works too. Set NEXT_PUBLIC_WALLET_API to your Reown / WalletConnect Project ID (or a Robinhood RPC URL) so Connect talks to the live chain. On Solana, use Phantom or Solflare. Click Connect Wallet top right, approve the connection in your wallet, you are in.
Helix never asks for a seed phrase or private key, in the app or anywhere else. If something asks, it is not Helix.
Gas: what you need before you start
Every action on Helix — depositing, claiming, withdrawing — is a transaction, and every transaction costs a small amount of gas. On Robinhood Chain that is paid in ETH. On Solana it is paid in SOL. Keep a bit sitting in your wallet before you do anything else, on top of whatever you are depositing.
Fees run well below Ethereum mainnet, but they are not zero. If a transaction fails or will not confirm, check your gas token first — it is the most common cause.
From here: Pools if you want to pick your own token and range, or Stakes if you would rather deposit into an existing one and let it run.
Stakes
A stake is attached to one token pool. Everyone who deposits owns a proportional slice, and rewards are split by that slice for as long as you stay in.
Choose one coin or the quote asset & token at the current pool ratio.
You never handle LP tokens. Wallet asks once per step. Leftover is refunded.
Minted and staked for you in the same flow.
Rewards
Rewards accrue continuously and are paid in the quote asset — WETH on Robinhood Chain, SOL on Solana — streamed out over a 7 day period rather than paid instantly, so a single large fee event does not all land on whoever happens to be staked that minute.
Getting out
Withdraw unstakes your position and turns it back into coins, in proportion to what the position holds. Nothing is sold on your behalf. Time lock none. Exit penalty none.
Creating a stake
Anyone can create a stake for a token that already has a quote-asset pool. Helix finds the pool automatically. One stake per pool through the interface, so stakers are not split across duplicates.
Pools
Find the token, read its chart, choose a shape, and mint. Every position is minted into a Helix contract that holds the position NFT. Only you have access to it. The Helix team cannot see or touch what you do with it.
Trending ranks tokens whose volume is surging right now, hottest at the top. Established ranks the biggest caps that still trade.
Shapes
A position is a price range split into bins. The shape decides how your deposit spreads across them. Drag the min and max in your head, then commit: a narrow range concentrates capital and earns more per dollar while price stays inside it; a wide range earns less per dollar but needs less attention.
Fees
Helix takes 7.5% of the fees you claim.
Someone swaps through the pool.
The pool's own swap fee.
92.5% to stakers / LPs. 7.5% to Helix.
Over 7 days, so no one fee event lands on one staker.
No further cut. Compounding is not live yet — claim and redeposit.
| Action | Fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Claim fees collected | 7.5% | Taken once, never from your deposit. |
| Claim | 0 | Nothing further, the cut above is already applied. |
| Deposit | 0 | Pool's own swap fee still applies if one side is swapped. |
| Withdraw | 0 | No exit fee, no lockup. |
| Creating a stake | 0 | Zero on this deployment. Gas only. |
Chains
Helix runs on Robinhood Chain (chain id 4663) and Solana. Switch chains from the top bar. Robinhood Chain is EVM; Solana is not. HELIX is the protocol token on both. This is not an official Robinhood product.
| Network | Gas | Quote | Rewards |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robinhood Chain | ETH | ETH / USDG | WETH |
| Solana | SOL | SOL / USDC | SOL |
Contracts
Live on Robinhood Chain, chain id 4663, and on Solana. Individual stakes are created by users, so their addresses are not fixed.
| Contract | What it does |
|---|---|
| VaultFactory | Creates stakes. One per pool. |
| VaultFarmFactory | Attaches the reward stream to a stake. |
| HelixZap | Turns a single coin into a balanced stake deposit. |
| HelixLadderManager | Holds the ladders you open and takes the 7.5% claim fee on fees collected. |
| HelixPositionBuilder | Mints the concentrated liquidity positions for ladders. |

Frequently asked
Where do rewards actually come from?
Every trade that goes through the pool pays a fee — the swap fee traders already pay. Helix does not mint anything to fund your reward. It streams a share of that existing fee to you.
Do I need to claim to keep earning?
No. Rewards accrue whether or not you claim. Claiming just moves them to your wallet.
Can the team take my deposit?
No. Deposits sit in the stake or ladder contract and only your own wallet can withdraw them. The owner key can lower the fee and pause new deposits, but cannot raise the fee or move a staked position.
