The kitchen flow

#

Six steps from an empty wallet to a compounding position, in the order you take them. Each one says what it costs you in signatures before it says anything else, so you know what you are agreeing to before you get there.

  1. step 1 · bridge

    Bring ETH to the kitchen

    Robinhood Chain is an Arbitrum Orbit rollup, so gas is plain ETH. The Arbitrum portal moves it over in a few minutes — bridge first, everything else follows. Send a little more than you plan to farm: every approval, deposit and harvest below is paid for in ETH on this side of the bridge.

    you sign: one deposit on the L1 side, then wait

    chain id 4663gas: ETHexplorer: robinscan.io
  2. step 2 · swap

    Trade into what the pot wants

    Swaps and liquidity live on Uniswap v4 on Robinhood Chain. Every GET button in the app deep-links there with the right token prefilled — ETH, USDG, CASHCAT, PONS, AI, sNET and QUOTRON — and once RAMEN launches, it trades there too.

    you sign: one approval per token, then the swap

    uniswap v4robinhood chainslippage tip: start at 1%
  3. step 3 · liquidity

    The fork: an LP token, or a single token

    This is the one place the path splits. Farms want an LP receipt, so you deposit both sides of a pair and take on impermanent loss. Pools want one token and nothing else — no pairing, no IL, a calmer ceiling.

    you sign: LP route: two approvals and an add. Pool route: nothing

    farms: LP pairspools: single-assetno IL in pools
  4. step 4 · stake

    Approve once, deposit into the chef

    One ERC-20 approval per stake token, then the deposit itself. The chef books your share of the pot; the deposit fee (never above 4%) is taken on arrival and routed to the fee address, so the amount that starts earning is slightly under what you sent.

    you sign: one approval per token, then one deposit

    1 approval per tokendeposit fee ≤ 4%per-second accrual
  5. step 5 · cook

    Rewards tick every second — through the lockup

    RAMEN accrues on the card second by second, whether or not anyone is watching. Each pool sets a harvest lockup (14 days maximum, on-chain): the rewards keep counting the whole time, they simply cannot be claimed until the countdown on the Harvest button reaches zero.

    you sign: nothing — this is the part where you wait

    lockup ≤ 14 daysper-pool settingon-chain countdown
  6. step 6 · compound

    Harvest — or compound in one click

    Harvest pays the pending RAMEN out to your wallet. On the RAMEN pool, Compound harvests and re-stakes in the same transaction with no deposit fee on the restake — that one button is the entire distance between the APR line and the APY line further down this page.

    you sign: one harvest, or one compound

Farms & pools — the pots

#

Nine pots, one chef, identical per-second maths. Farms take LP pairs and hand you impermanent loss along with the higher rate; pools take a single token and cannot, by construction. Every pot shows its own deposit fee and harvest lockup on its card.

The RAMEN pool is the autocompounder
Stake RAMEN, earn RAMEN, press Compound once a day — the only pot where restaking is a single click and pays no deposit fee on the way back in.
Reading a pot card
APR
This pot’s slice of the per-second emission, valued in dollars and divided by everything staked in it. It moves when the pot fills, when its allocation changes, and when RAMEN moves.
Liquidity
The dollar value staked in the pot right now — the denominator of that APR. A big number means a crowded pot and a calmer rate.
Deposit fee
Taken once, on arrival, and sent to the fee address. Capped at 4% by the contract, and set to 0% on several pots — the card shows the real one.
Harvest lockup
How long after a deposit or a harvest before you can claim again. Rewards accrue throughout; only the claim waits. Capped at 14 days.
Spice
Our risk rating, from Mild to Volcanic: how volatile the stake is, and — for LP pots — how much impermanent loss it can hand you.

APR vs APY — the compound lever

#

APR is the raw rate: a year of this pot’s emissions, divided by what is staked in it. APY is what you end the year with once you harvest and re-stake along the way. Drag the sliders, change the cadence, and watch the two lines pull apart.

Both lines start from the same stake and the same emissions — the only difference is what you do with the rewards. Moving from monthly to daily is most of the gain; daily to hourly is nearly nothing, which is why the pools set a one-hour lockup and no one loses sleep over it. The curve assumes every harvest is re-staked immediately and ignores gas, and outside the RAMEN pool a restake also pays that pool’s deposit fee.
poolShare      = allocPoint / totalAllocPoint
rewardsPerYear = ramenPerSecond × 31,536,000 × poolShare

APR  = rewardsPerYear × price(RAMEN) / valueStaked × 100
APY  = (1 + APR/n)^n − 1     // n harvests a year
Both numbers are forward-looking guesses built on today’s prices and today’s allocation points, and every input in them can move by the time you read the card. Nothing here is a promise of return.

Tokenomics — the deflationary broth

#

RAMEN is PantherSwap-flavoured: a 5% transfer tax that burns and liquifies, an anti-whale cap, a 500M hard mint cap, and a mint function only the chef can call. Drag the emission rate to see how far that cap really is.

Only the chef mints, and minting past the cap reverts — this curve is the inflation ceiling, not a forecast. The 1% burned on every transfer pulls the real supply below the line, so every point on the plot is a worst case. The rate itself is capped on-chain at 10 RAMEN/s: the slider cannot show you a world that the contract would allow but this chart would not.

The token contract does both halves itself: the burned 1% goes to the dead address and never comes back, and the other 4% is swapped and paired into the RAMEN-ETH pool, so every transfer leaves the pair a little deeper than it found it. The 5% is operator-governed and the contract refuses to set it above 10%.

Questions the chef gets daily

#

The nine that come up most, answered from the contracts rather than from the marketing.

No. The stake itself is free to leave at any second — the lockup is on harvesting, not on withdrawing. The catch worth knowing: a deposit or a withdraw made while the countdown is still running pays out nothing and clears the pending balance along with it, because the chef resets your reward debt either way. The safe order is always: wait for the timer, harvest, then move the stake.

Every pool sets its own cooldown, capped at 14 days on-chain, PantherSwap-style. The chef stamps your nextHarvestUntil on your first deposit and again on every harvest, and the card counts down to it. It exists to kill harvest-spam bots and keep the reward flow fair. Nothing stops accruing during the countdown — the value ticks the whole time, you simply claim it when the timer opens.

On the RAMEN pool it harvests your pending rewards and re-stakes them in the same transaction — no deposit fee on the restake, no round trip through your wallet. It only exists where the stake token is RAMEN itself. Everywhere else, compounding is manual: harvest, swap, re-stake, and that route does pay the pool’s deposit fee on the way back in.

A per-pool cut taken the moment your tokens arrive, capped at 4% by the contract — anything higher makes add() revert. It goes to the fee address, never to the chef, so it is not recycled into rewards. It is charged once on the way in, never on the way out, and several pools are set to 0%: the number on the card is the truth for that pot.

APR is emissions divided by the value staked in the pot, so it falls as the pot fills and rises as it empties — your own deposit dilutes it slightly. Two other things move it: the pool’s allocation points, which decide its slice of the per-second emission, and the price of RAMEN itself. None of the three touch the RAMEN you have already earned.

Every RAMEN transfer pays 5%: one fifth of that (1% of the transfer) is burned to the dead address forever, and the remaining 4% is auto-swapped and paired into RAMEN-ETH liquidity by the token contract itself. Less float over time, deeper LP, no team action required. The rate is operator-governed and cannot be set above 10%.

A single transfer cannot exceed 0.5% of the total supply — 2.5M RAMEN at the cap. Whale dumps revert at the contract level rather than at the interface. The chef is exempt, so reward payouts always arrive intact no matter how large they get.

Only in an emergency. It pulls your entire stake out in one call and forfeits every pending reward on purpose — it skips the reward accounting completely, which is exactly why it still works if that accounting ever misbehaves. A normal withdraw, made after the lockup has elapsed, pays out everything you have earned.

The chef mints a 10% dev share on top of every pool reward, not out of it — your APR maths is untouched, the share is fresh emission that counts against the same 500M cap. Only the current dev address can hand that role on; the owner cannot take it.

Safety & honest caveats

#

What the contracts refuse to do, and what they do not protect you from. The first table is enforced by reverts, not by intention — every row of it is a line you can read in the source.

Limits enforced on-chain
What it refuses
The limit
Emission rate
≤ 10 RAMEN / second
Deposit fee
≤ 4% of the deposit
Harvest lockup
≤ 14 days
Total supply
≤ 500,000,000 RAMEN
Transfer tax
≤ 10% of the transfer
Single transfer
≤ 0.5% of total supply
Harvest before the countdown
refused
The same stake token twice
refused
Two-step ownership
RamenChef and RAMEN both use Ownable2Step, so ownership only moves to an address that shows up and accepts it. A typo cannot orphan the kitchen.
Reentrancy and fee-on-transfer safe
Every user-facing call is nonReentrant, and deposits credit what actually landed in the contract rather than what was asked for — a taxed token cannot over-credit itself.
The dev share is minted, not skimmed
The 10% dev share is fresh emission on top of pool rewards, counted against the same 500M cap. It never comes out of a pool’s rewards, so it never moves an APR.
An escape hatch that skips the maths
emergencyWithdraw returns the whole stake in one call and forfeits pending rewards by design — it touches none of the reward accounting, which is why it still works if that accounting ever does not.
What none of that covers
These contracts have not been audited. LP pots can hand you impermanent loss whatever the APR says, prices on this page are reference values until a feed lands, and a deposit or a withdraw made before the harvest countdown ends forfeits the rewards pending at that moment. Farm what you can afford to lose.
