TRANT  instrument layer for synthetic assets docs ⟩ · app ⟩

Make a market out of anything you can measure

TRANT lets anyone mint and trade synthetic assets (equities, FX, rates, commodities, inflation, real-world events), settled on Robinhood Chain by an oracle network. No brokerage, no clearing house, no permission.

§ 1Procedures

Everything you do on TRANT is one of three procedures. The protocol coordinates collateral and oracles; you keep custody the whole way through.

Proc. A · mint

Mint

Lock collateral and mint a synthetic token that tracks any approved reference. If it can be measured and fed by an oracle, it can be minted.

out
synthetic position

Proc. B · trade

Trade

Swap synthetic exposure like any other token. Enter and exit financial risk with no brokerage, no KYC queue, no approval to fill your order.

Proc. C · manage

Manage

Provide liquidity, stake LP positions, or lend idle synths for fixed income. Compose holdings across the wider open financial system.

out
fees / yield

Event-referenced instruments add one automatic motion: the collateral mix rebalances when a referenced event resolves. See Event-triggered synths.

§ 2Approved instruments

Only references with a credible, disputable oracle feed are approved for minting. Governance decides what gets listed. The initial set is real-economy exposure DeFi has historically lacked.

Table 1. Anyone can propose a reference through governance: it needs a measurable series, an oracle willing to report it, and collateral parameters. Full detail in the instrument docs.

§ 3Principle of operation

TRANT never holds your funds or arbitrates a contract. Positions are secured by economic guarantees, not a trusted middleman.

Collateral [1] your deposit Position manager [2] mints & tracks tSYNTH [3] tradable token Oracle [4] reports value Liquidation [5] keeps it solvent Rebalance engine [6] event synths
Fig. 2. Block diagram. The Cyanotype block is the token you hold; the Minium blocks are the guarantees that keep it backed. Numbered blocks correspond to the steps below.
  1. Deposit collateral. Lock an accepted collateral token into a position contract.
  2. Mint the synthetic. The position manager issues a token pegged to your chosen reference, over-collateralised for safety.
  3. Hold or trade it. tSYNTH behaves like any ERC-20; sell it for exposure without minting.
  4. Oracle settles the value. An optimistic oracle reports the reference at expiry or on dispute; challenges are resolved by economic stake.
  5. Liquidation guards solvency. Anyone can liquidate an under-collateralised position for a reward, keeping every synthetic fully backed.
  6. Events rebalance the mix. For an event-triggered synth, an oracle resolution shifts the collateral basket within bounds set at mint.

§ 4Coordination

$TRANT is the protocol's coordination token. It aligns everyone who lists, trades, and provides liquidity around the health of the system.

Table 2. Buying and selling happen on the open market. The buyback-and-list policy ties protocol usage directly to token demand. See tokenomics.

§ 5Notes

TRANT is developed by a small pseudonymous team. Contract addresses, audit reports, and source are all public and linked from the docs.

Risk

Synthetic assets carry risk; nothing here is investment advice. TRANT is not deployed, and the protocol is still under construction: the on-chain contracts so far implement position creation only. Every contract address on this site is a placeholder until launch. Read the risks and audit status.

Everything measurable is a market waiting to open.
