UNIFY / STOCK-TOKENS
Stock tokens: availability & restrictions
Exact issuer contracts, reference valuations and transfer restrictions for Base and Robinhood stock tokens.
Base and Robinhood contracts
Unify matches issuer-listed contracts and chain IDs rather than trusting a ticker or logo. Base issuer transfer policies, share multipliers and trading halts are checked where applicable. Robinhood listings and trading availability are checked against issuer data.
The stock-route disclosure distinguishes a blocked issuer policy, unavailable infrastructure, and no validated economical path for the selected amount. None of these checks bypasses an issuer restriction.
Reference value is not an executable price
An issuer reference price may value a holding without a liquid swap route. Reference age and provenance stay visible. A route must independently quote a liquid path and pass transfer checks before signing. Different amounts and destinations may produce different availability.

Buying and selling in the app
- Connect the wallet and identify the stock token by its exact chain and contract. A logo or ticker alone is not verification.
- For a sale, select the holding and the portion to convert. For a purchase, choose the destination network and open the Stock tokens tab under token search.
- Review the issuer label, valuation provenance and reference age. A priced holding can still have no executable route.
- Compare live paths for the actual amount and receiving wallet. Issuer permissions and available liquidity are checked before execution.
- After signing, use the recorded source and destination in History. A source swap and a later bridge are separate stages when the route is composed.
Multipliers, corporate actions and valuation
A display balance can represent economic units while a swap still uses raw ERC-20 units. Applicable issuer multipliers are checked so a stock split or other corporate action does not silently reuse an old amount or valuation. A changed multiplier can invalidate an earlier quote.
Robinhood describes Stock Tokens as issuer instruments giving economic exposure, not ownership rights in the underlying company. Minting availability and individual trading capabilities are distinct; a general network opening does not prove every asset is tradable. Eligibility and redemption terms belong to the issuer.

Unify routes existing tokens; it does not provide a brokerage account, issuer onboarding or a promise that a token is eligible for every user or region.
Common questions
Why does a stock have a value but no swap route?
An issuer or reference price can value a holding without a tradable pool for your amount. A route must separately pass liquidity, output and transfer-policy checks.
Can I bridge the same ticker between networks?
Not merely because the tickers match. The exact destination contract and a validated delivery path must be supported. A sale to a supported bridge asset followed by delivery is not the same as bridging the stock itself.
Does a Stock token badge guarantee a good investment?
No. It describes an issuer-listed token, not investment quality, investor eligibility, issuer solvency or guaranteed liquidity. Review the issuer’s own documents and risks.
