$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:
0x1EC694b2E245a26af6FC0CD1261f5A0b7B0A6Ba3
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.
