How Lodestar works.

Lodestar Exchange is a non-custodial perpetual trading app on Robinhood Chain — crypto perpetuals and tokenised US equities in one cross-margin account, with the order control simpler apps leave out.

Overview

What Lodestar is

Lodestar Exchange is a non-custodial perpetual trading app on Robinhood Chain. It covers crypto perpetuals and tokenised US equities side by side in one cross-margin account, and exposes the real order control most mainstream apps hold back — limit orders, native take-profit and stop-loss, and cross-margin. Trading carries zero fees, maker and taker.

Getting started

How it works

  1. Connect your wallet. One signature derives a trading key directly in your browser. It is never sent to or stored on a server.
  2. Deposit USDG. Your collateral goes straight into an audited on-chain contract — you keep custody the whole time.
  3. Trade. Go long or short with the leverage, order type, and TP/SL you set. Every order is signed in your browser and submitted directly on-chain.

Your funds always stay in the on-chain contract. Lodestar never holds your funds or your keys.

Markets

What you can trade

One account, both kinds of market:

Crypto — 24/7

BTC · ETH · SOL · XRP · SUI

Tokenised US equities — market hours

NVDA · TSLA · AAPL · MSFT · AMZN · GOOGL · META · AMD · COIN · PLTR

Crypto trades around the clock. Tokenised equities are oracle-fed and trade during US market hours; outside them the oracle is frozen, with gap risk at the next open.

Order control

Take-profit and stop-loss

Set your exit before you enter. Attach a take-profit and a stop-loss to an order and they trigger automatically on-chain — reduce-only, no keeper, no need to watch the screen. You can also add TP/SL to an open position at any time.

Security

Non-custodial by design

  • Your trading key is derived in your browser from a wallet signature and kept only for your session (localStorage), with a 12-hour auto-expiry and a manual Lock action that clears it instantly.
  • The trading key can only trade and withdraw to your own address— it can never move funds anywhere else, and your wallet's private key is never read or stored.
  • Your funds live in an audited on-chain contract the entire time. Lodestar never takes custody.
Costs

Fees

Zero maker, zero taker on every market. Settlement happens on Robinhood Chain.

Token

Token: coming soon

Lodestar does not have a token today. When one launches, this page will be the canonical source for its contract address.

Any address claiming to be a Lodestar token is fake. We will never DM you an address. Check this page before you buy or approve anything.

Important

Risk and availability

Perpetual futures are high-risk and can result in the total loss of your margin. Trade only what you can afford to lose.

Perpetuals are not available to residents of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Switzerland, the UAE, and Singapore.
