How corporate actions reach the token
Robinhood Chain stock tokens implement a scaled-amount standard: raw token balances never change. Instead, each token carries a multiplier — the shares-per-token ratio — and corporate actions move that multiplier:- A reinvested dividend nudges the multiplier up: one token now represents slightly more than one share, so its price drifts above the headline share price. The token tracks total return, not just price.
- A split moves the multiplier so each token keeps representing the same economic value.
What happens during processing
While an action is being applied, the token issuer pauses the token’s oracle. Denar honors the flag: the affected market pauses borrowing, collateral withdrawal, and liquidations until processing completes. This prevents the worst possible outcome — liquidating someone at a half-updated split price. What never pauses: repaying debt, adding collateral, and lender deposits/withdrawals. The protocol’s monitoring also watches for scheduled multiplier changes ahead of their effective time, so upcoming events are known before they land.Proven in production
August 2026 — AAPL quarterly dividend. A few days after launch, Apple’s dividend was reinvested into the AAPL token: its multiplier moved from 1.0 to ~1.00057 (+0.057%, matching the dividend). The feed price absorbed it, the oracle stayed healthy, no position was mispriced, and no intervention of any kind was needed. The event was discovered after the fact — which is exactly the point.
