Every fee,
on the record.

Trading fees on Robinhood Chain are collected and donated to nsoro Educational Foundation, which puts young people ageing out of foster care through college. Every collection and every donation is published here with a link you can check.

Mission

Half of young people in foster care finish high school. Three percent finish college.

Be Best Fund moves money at that gap, continuously, from a source that costs nobody a donation: the trading fees a token generates anyway.

Fees, not donations

Every trade generates a creator fee. That fee is the entire funding source. Holders are never asked for anything and receive nothing.

Receipts, not promises

Each collection has a transaction hash. Each donation has a receipt from the charity. Both are listed below and neither is typed in by hand without proof.

Less of us over time

The weak point today is that we operate a wallet in the middle. We have published the plan for removing it, with the trigger for each step.

Roadmap

Three steps, each one taking discretion away from us.

Most projects like this ask you to trust the team. We would rather tell you exactly how much you currently have to, and what we are doing to reduce it.

Phase 1
LIVE NOW

Published wallet

Fees are claimed to a wallet we operate and donated by hand. Every step is posted here with a transaction hash or a charity receipt.

Weak point. We hold funds between collection and donation. The protection is that you can audit it, not that we are prevented from misusing it.
Live from launch.
Phase 2
NEXT

Donor-advised fund

Collections go into a donor-advised fund at a registered 501(c)(3). Assets that enter it are legally irrevocable and cannot return to us under any circumstances.

Weak point. We still choose when to move funds in, and grants out are recommendations the sponsoring charity approves.
Once cumulative collections pass $10,000.
Phase 3
PLANNED

Non-custodial vault

The creator fee recipient becomes a contract with no owner, no setter and no withdrawal function, whose only outbound path is the charity. Anyone can trigger it; nobody can redirect it.

Weak point. Pons can still propose changing the fee recipient on a three-day public timelock. We monitor and publish that, but cannot prevent it.
Once the contract is deployed, verified and independently reviewed.
How it works

Fees do not arrive on their own.

Pons accrues creator fees on the curve or the pool and holds them until someone sweeps them into escrow. Then they have to be claimed. Both steps are public, which is why the ledger separates what has accrued from what we actually hold.

01

Curve & pool

Fees accrue on the bonding curve, then on the Uniswap pool after graduation.

02

Pons fee escrow

Fees move here before they can be withdrawn. Held by the Pons protocol, not by us.

03

Fund wallet

A wallet we control. Every movement in and out is listed in the ledger below.

04

nsoro Educational Foundation

College scholarships for young people ageing out of foster care. EIN 87-0758361.

Ledger

Every movement, with a link to the proof.

Collections are read off the chain by an indexer. Donations are entered by us and every one carries a receipt — that asymmetry is real and worth knowing about.

Reading the chain…
Where it goes

Donations go to nsoro Educational Foundation.

A 501(c)(3) founded in 2005, EIN 87-0758361. Its Fostering Futures programme puts young people ageing out of foster care through college and into work, which is the closest match we could find to the outcome this project exists to support.

Accepts crypto directly
Donations are made through The Giving Block, which issues an automatic tax receipt. We publish every one.
No fund in between
Money goes from our wallet to the charity. We do not hold a charitable balance or decide later where it goes.
Independent of us
They have no involvement in this project beyond receiving donations.
No endorsement. nsoro Educational Foundation has not endorsed, sponsored or partnered with this project. Naming them here means only that they are where the donations go. If that ever changes we will say so on this page.

You can skip us. If you would rather support them directly and not touch a token at all, the link above goes straight to their own donation page. That is a completely reasonable thing to do and we would rather say it than have you wonder.
Arithmetic

What volume turns into.

Pons charges a 1% pool fee and routes 70% of it to the creator wallet, so roughly 0.7% of trading volume moves toward charity. Move the slider to see the shape of it.

$1,000,000
$10K$20M
Toward charity, per month
$7,000
About $84,000 over a year at the same volume.

This is arithmetic on a number you chose, not a projection, forecast or promise. Actual volume may be zero. Nothing on this slider has happened — see the ledger for what has.

Questions

The ones worth asking.

No. Holding $FOSTER conveys no dividends, no revenue share, no entitlement to fees, no redemption right and no governance. It is not an investment contract and carries no expectation of profit. The fees fund charity, not holders. Assume the token can go to zero.
