What is Foundry?
Foundry holds a treasury of assets behind its token, FNDY. You can buy it, stake it, or buy a bond that gives you FNDY over time.
What would you like to do?
| Action | What you receive |
|---|---|
| Buy from the pool | FNDY straight into your wallet. The price moves with trading. |
| Buy a bond | FNDY that unlocks over 48 hours, at the quoted bond price. |
| Stake FNDY | sFNDY, a receipt whose balance can grow with staking rewards. |
| Join Genesis | FNDY from the opening sale, released under that sale’s vesting schedule. |
Your first transaction
- Connect your wallet and select Robinhood testnet. You need test ETH to pay transaction fees.
- Choose an action and enter an amount. Check what you will pay and receive.
- If Approve appears, confirm it in your wallet. This only gives the contract permission to use that amount.
- After approval confirms, select Buy or Stake and confirm the separate transaction.
An approval alone does not buy or stake anything. After your purchase, check your balance or position in the app.
