We have officially submitted World Is Fair, our Decentralized Voting Layer, to the
@colosseum Crypto World’s Fair hackathon, competing in the
@RobinhoodApp Chain ecosystem track and representing robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 .
@vladtenev @fern
There are more than 9,000 builders in the arena.
We know the competition is serious. There are exceptional teams building across every ecosystem represented there, and that is exactly why we wanted to be part of it.
We are ready to compete, ready to win, and ready to scale if we earn that opportunity.
World Is Fair was not created for a hackathon, the product was already live before we entered one.
Our first event is already completed, the second is being prepared - communities will compete between eligible ecosystem tokens on Robinhood Chain, with the most supported token winning a buyback and burn - and the third will move into U.S. Midterm Elections. Many more formats will follow from there.
We are not submitting an idea of what we might build, but something that is already live and moving.
World Is Fair is a live DVL - Decentralized Voting Layer - built on Robinhood Chain.
The idea started from something extremely simple.
The world is already one giant competition of opinions, choices and elections.
National elections. Beauty contests. Sports rankings. Talent shows. Community votes. Crypto polls. Awards.
People constantly choose who they support, what they believe should win and which direction they want to see next.
The problem is that almost every voting system still requires participants to trust the organizer, the platform or whoever controls the count.
We believe the process itself should be verifiable.
To us, OWNERSHIP is not only about owning assets. It is also about having a transparent, verifiable stake in the decisions and outcomes you help create.
Onchain voting turns participation into something people can actually own, verify and stand behind.
When people are asked to trust the outcome of an election, they should be able to independently check how that outcome was reached.
That is why we built the voting layer onchain.
Votes can be recorded publicly, results can be independently verified, and settlement can be checked without relying entirely on the party running the event.
Blockchain also gives us something equally important - a natural anti-spam mechanism.
Spam is almost free. Bots are cheap. Creating thousands of meaningless interactions is cheap.
A token introduces economic friction.
Participation can remain inexpensive for a normal user, while manipulation at scale becomes progressively more expensive.
That is why robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 exists inside the product.
Instead of building another token around passive holding, we wanted to give it a simple recurring use.
Choose an option, vote, and verify the result onchain.
robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 used through voting is removed from circulation.
We also deliberately designed participation without staking, locking funds, liquidity pools, yield strategies or other DeFi mechanics that could expose somebody's capital to unnecessary risk just to cast a vote.
A user can simply send robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 from the wallet they already use, or connect their wallet and vote through the interface, without putting the rest of their funds at risk.
And we think the timing for this is becoming increasingly obvious.
Crypto and fintech are merging.
Today, a person can buy crypto with a card, receive it almost immediately and use it inside an application seconds later.
As that experience becomes normal, blockchain stops being infrastructure users need to understand and becomes infrastructure they simply use.
For transparent elections, we believe that is the right direction.
Crypto has spent years building increasingly sophisticated financial products.
We believe there is also a very large market for making onchain participation radically simpler.
Every platform needs participation and every token needs attention, but in most crypto products users generate the attention, activity and volume while receiving very little of the value they help create.
The platform gets the engagement, the creator gets the attention, and the participant usually gets almost nothing.
We think this relationship can be different.
That is why, at this stage, 100% of the Creator Fees we receive are recycled back into the ecosystem through participants, winners and event rewards.
The more people participate, the stronger the system becomes. Voting creates recurring utility for robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 and reduces circulating supply. Activity creates volume. Volume creates Creator Fees. Those fees can increase rewards and give more people a reason to participate in the next event.
We are trying to build an economic loop around participation itself.
And this is no longer just a thesis.
Our first event, Who is the G.O.A.T. of Crypto Twitter, has already concluded.
78 KOLs, founders and builders were included.
More than 1,454 people participated.
The event generated 104,398 onchain votes.
The votes were publicly verifiable, robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 was burned through platform usage, and the protocol produced actual onchain activity on Robinhood Chain.
More than 0.01% of the robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 supply has already been burned through product usage.
@DefiLlama independently tracks World Is Flat as the only protocol in its dedicated Onchain Voting category across every chain it covers, not only Robinhood Chain.
robinhood:0x5173b8ea6923c2d40267890d45c46a3480954773 is also supply-verified/listed on
@CoinMarketCap and listed on
@coingecko.
We launched through PONS V2 and have been building inside the Robinhood Chain ecosystem from the beginning.
And one coincidence still makes us smile - World Is Fair was already the name of our voting utility before
@colosseum announced Crypto World’s Fair, so either the naming department is already aligned or the lore is getting out of control. :)
The G.O.A.T. election was only V1.
The second event is already being prepared.
And after that comes Event #
3#:
An independent, unofficial onchain U.S. Midterm Election.
Not an official U.S. election and not a replacement for one.
A separate public experiment where people can express their choice under transparent rules and anyone can independently verify the result.
Then we can compare that onchain signal with the official real-world outcome.
Crypto Twitter was simply the easiest place to begin.
World Is Fair should eventually extend into communities, companies, sports, music, entertainment, culture and politics.
When there is a question people genuinely care about and the world wants to know what people think, we want World Is Fair to become one of the places where that question can be settled transparently onchain.
Our ambition is simple:
We want to become for voting what Polymarket became for prediction markets.
But voting should still feel like voting.
Simple enough for anyone to understand, accessible enough for almost anyone to participate, transparent enough for anyone to verify, and interesting enough that people actually want to come back.
There is also another major layer to what we submitted to Crypto World’s Fair.
We have intentionally not made that part public yet.
The judges will see it first.
Everyone else will see it when we are ready.
For now, that part of the map stays covered.
The broader philosophy, however, has never been a secret.
World Is Flat was never about conspiracy.
It is a metaphor for removing the barriers that decide who gets access, who gets heard and who gets an opportunity.
The internet flattened information.
Crypto flattened access to finance.
Tokenization is flattening access to ownership.
WIF takes that idea into participation.
We see the same direction in what
@RobinhoodApp and
@vladtenev have spent years pushing toward - broader access to markets and opportunities that historically depended far more on institutions, geography and gatekeepers.
We want to take that philosophy into a new category.
Your geography should matter less.
Your connections should matter less.
Your starting point should matter less.
Technology should allow more people to enter the arena.
That is what a flat world means to us.
World Is Flat = World Is Fair.
And we are not entering this competition as a team building its first crypto project.
Around a year and a half ago, our previous project reached a $117M peak market cap and grew to more than 21,000 organic holders.
We built one of the largest English- and Arabic-speaking communities in that ecosystem.
We won BNB Chain’s official liquidity support competition, receiving $500,000 in Round 1 and $200,000 in Round 2 - $700,000 in total support.
The project also secured
@binance Alpha and
@BinanceFutures listings while remaining deeply aligned with that ecosystem.
We learned what it means to build a community, survive volatility, keep people engaged and continue executing when attention moves somewhere else.
This time we want to take that experience and build something that can become infrastructure.
We are an international team, and we strongly believe this era has changed who gets the opportunity to build something meaningful.
A small team can start with an idea and reach the world from day one.
You do not need to begin with hundreds of employees or enormous amounts of capital.
You need an idea people care about, the ability to execute it, and enough conviction to keep building when the destination is still far away.
There is a quote often attributed to Walt Disney that captures that mentality well:
“Believe in your dreams, no matter how impossible they seem.”
There are more than 9,000 builders in Crypto World’s Fair.
Some have more funding.
Some have bigger teams.
Some have extraordinary technology.
Some have been building longer than us.
We respect that.
But we did not enter the arena believing somebody else had already won.
We know what we have already built, we know what people have already used, and we know how much further we want to take it.
We are ready to compete, ready to win, and ready to scale if we earn that opportunity.
If we win, we already know where we want to take this next - and AI agents are only one part of that vision.
We can imagine a future where your favorite agent - ChatGPT, Claude or any other assistant you use every day - simply sends you a request when your opinion matters: a vote, a community decision, an election or a proposal. You approve it, and the agent executes that choice onchain on your behalf through a verified KYA - Know Your Agent - identity and authorization layer.
Instead of people constantly searching for where to participate, participation can come directly to them.
That is only one direction inside a much broader roadmap for World Is Fair.
V1 is already behind us.
The second event is coming.
The U.S. Midterm Election comes after that.
And the hackathon submission contains another layer the public has not seen yet.
If our thesis is right, the first 104,398 votes will eventually look very small.
Thank you to
@colosseum,
@RobinhoodApp and everyone involved in creating an arena where builders can put ambitious ideas in front of the ecosystem.
Application fully submitted.
Now back to building.
World Is Flat.
World Is Fair.
