$GROW's first utility, and a new way to pay with $BNKR

Token migration
$GROW moved to a new contract — Robinhood Chain only
The Robinhood Chain deployment of $GROW moved to a new contract — re-verified on-chain (symbol, name, decimals) before switching, and picked up automatically everywhere HoodGrow checks a $GROW balance. A Base deployment existed briefly; it's been dropped to keep $GROW single-chain going forward. The live address is on /about, linked to its explorer:

New payment option
$BNKR now accepted for Premium and Builder
Both upgrade dialogs now have a third tab alongside USDG and USDC: pay in $BNKR on Base. Unlike USDG/USDC, $BNKR isn't $1-pegged, so there's no fixed "N tokens = $9" — the price is read live from the most-liquid $BNKR/WETH pool on Base (found by comparing on-chain liquidity across every fee tier, not assumed), padded with a small buffer so ordinary price movement between quoting and confirming doesn't fail. The server re-derives its own minimum independently at payment-verification time regardless — the client's quote is never trusted for the actual charge. If the price feed is ever unavailable, the payment fails closed rather than guessing.
$GROW utility (for now)
What holding $GROW actually does today

$GROW isn't required for anything on HoodGrow — every price, supply, and corporate-action feature works the same whether you hold it or not. But holding at least 100,000,000 $GROW on Robinhood Chain does two things today:

  • Premium unlocks free — no payment, for as long as you hold it.
  • 20% off Builder subscriptions — checked automatically each time you pay, stacking with founder pricing if you also qualify for that.

That's the utility for now — this is the first cut, not the ceiling. More ways to use $GROW are on the way as HoodGrow's paid tiers grow. See /pricing for the full breakdown, and /about for the contract address. Nothing here is investment advice, and nothing about the token promises a return.
