Next for ARTON: Community Vaults.
Imagine your community choosing a Bored Ape, a Pudgy Penguin and an Azuki, funding their purchase together, then trading shares of that entire vault through one ERC-20 token.
The NFTs stay together in custody. Their shared market trades on Robinhood, paired with ETH or supported Stock Tokens.
The same idea could give an artist a market for a series of works, with collectors participating through smaller positions.
We’re planning vaults where the NFT selection and purchase prices are visible before anyone contributes.
Which collection would your community put together?
ARTON Bridge & Vaults is now live to explore.
Your Ethereum NFT can now have a share market on Robinhood, paired with ETH or supported Stock Tokens.
Vault submissions open tomorrow at 5 PM Pacific. Funding follows each campaign’s liquidity confirmation, which takes about 7 days.

Choose your NFT and set the net ETH you want to receive. Backers fund its purchase and opening liquidity.
After settlement, the original stays whole in an Ethereum vault. Its 1,000,000 ERC-20 shares can trade on Robinhood Chain, paired with ETH or supported Stock Tokens.
Sellers receive 2% of the shares, fully unlocked at market open, and can earn a chosen 0–3% fee on eligible trades.
Starting with BAYC, Pudgy Penguins, MAYC and Azuki.

How it works:
arton.fun/docs#ethereum-vaul…
A 10 ETH NFT owner needs more than a promise of future trading fees.
We’re designing funded launches for ARTON. The owner sets an asking price, and backers fund the purchase plus a separate liquidity budget.
The sale would only complete once that funding is secured. If the target isn’t met, the NFT stays with its owner and backers can reclaim their deposits.
The owner could also retain a disclosed share allocation and earn fees from future trading.
The agreed payout would be funded before settlement. Future token prices would still depend on the market.
This is the model we’re working on for Ethereum NFT vaults.
Initially, we plan to support:
Bored Ape Yacht Club
Pudgy Penguins
Mutant Ape Yacht Club
Azuki
We’re starting with established collections that already have active markets. Thin markets are easier to push around, so liquidity and trading history matter when choosing what to support.
We’ll check bid depth and wallet concentration before enabling each collection.
Imagine trading shares of a Bored Ape using NVDA Stock Tokens.
The owner deposits the NFT into an Ethereum vault. Through ARTON, collectors could buy and sell smaller positions in its ERC-20 shares on Robinhood Chain, without buying the entire Ape.
The original NFT stays in the vault. Its shares get their own market.
Coming Soon on arton.fun
We have a BIG announcement to make.
We’re working on bringing Ethereum NFTs into ARTON’s markets on Robinhood Chain.
The plan: lock the original NFT in an Ethereum vault and let collectors trade its ERC-20 shares against Stock Tokens through ARTON.
Your NFT stays on Ethereum. Its market reaches Robinhood.
First look tomorrow.
Day 1 update 🛠️
We’ve improved charting, cleaned up parts of the trading UI and worked on market loading issues.
Next up: 12 more Stock Token pairing options, giving creators more choices when opening an NFT market.
Your feedback is helping us decide what to do next. If something isn’t working as it should, keep telling us — we’re reading it.

An artist, a crypto trader and a Stock Token holder walk into the same market.
On ARTON, creators can earn fees as their NFT’s ERC-20 shares trade. Collectors can take smaller positions, and traders can buy and sell against ETH or a supported Stock Token.
The original NFT stays whole.
For Stock Tokens, that’s another use onchain. For art, it could bring in people who might never have entered an NFT auction.
That’s what we’re building on Robinhood Chain.💚

A work of art in someone’s memory could also help a cause they cared about.
An artist or foundation could create a tribute NFT on ARTON, open a market for its ERC-20 shares, and donate part of the creator fees to that cause. Publishing the transfers would let people see where the money goes.
The original artwork stays whole.
ARTON already supports Stock Token pairs on Robinhood Chain. Broader RWA and synthetic asset pairs are something we’d like to explore for future versions.
