A caller posts a contract. Followers buy after them, at a worse price. On Robinhood Chain the sequencer is first-come-first-served and the mempool is private, so bots cannot sandwich the fill — the remaining frontrun is social. A **family** removes it. The head (or a named crew) buys once, in one transaction. Every member owns the same slice of the same bag at the same price. When the family sells, everyone realises the same exit. Nobody misses the play because they were asleep, and nobody is sold into. The same vault is also a friends' pot: a group chat pools ETH, picks who can press the button, and the rest go to sleep. Members can leave at any time with their in-kind slice. Tagline: **same block. same price. same bag.** ## Who it is for * **Callers (KOL families).** You trade, they ride. You can take a cut of realised profit, set a minimum of your own money in the vault, and connect the Telegram bot so every buy and sell lands in the group. * **Group chats (friends families).** Name the co-pilots at creation, lock the crew so nobody new can ever be added, invite-only door, no fees if you want it that way. * **Members.** You pick a head you trust, deposit, and ride every trade pro-rata. You can take your slice whenever you like. ## What it is not familio is a website that reads public contracts on Robinhood Chain and helps your wallet build transactions to those contracts. That is it. * **Not custodial.** Deposits go from your wallet into a vault contract you can inspect. familio never holds the funds. The head can only swap through allow-listed routers; there is no function that sends a member's funds anywhere else. * **Not an investment product.** Not a fund, not a portfolio service, not managed money, not investment advice. A head's notes, a family's PnL, a leaderboard rank and a green number are not a recommendation. * **Not a broker or exchange.** We do not take orders. We do not give advice. Heads are independent people; a verified X/Telegram checkmark means the platform confirmed that link, nothing more. {% hint style="warning" %} You can lose everything. Tokens can go to zero — small caps often do, fast, for no reason. A head can trade in good faith and still lose 100% of the vault. Nothing is insured. Only put in what you can watch go to zero. The contracts are fully source-verified: what you read is byte-for-byte what runs on chain. Read them yourself on Blockscout — [FamilyFactory](https://robinhoodchain.blockscout.com/address/0x6716e9df55Bdf2572Ec8C5E58Ca7b75b10dDEB12?tab=contract) and the [FamilyVault implementation](https://robinhoodchain.blockscout.com/address/0x80897D73649b5A5ce3cf0604bD553Cb9ACB6C68F?tab=contract) behind every family, both green-badged "exact match". The same code is verified on [Sourcify](https://sourcify.dev/#/lookup/0x6716e9df55Bdf2572Ec8C5E58Ca7b75b10dDEB12) as an independent second check. There is no third-party audit yet; open source means anyone can check the code, not that someone already has. {% endhint %} ## The words A **family** is a shared non-custodial vault. The **head** opens it and trades. **Co-pilots** are extra wallets the head names who can buy and sell for the family and switch trading (and joins) off or on — they cannot change rules, evict anyone, or stop anyone leaving. **Mods** work the door (approve, decline, allow-list). **Members** deposit, ride the trades, and can leave any time. **Crew** means head + co-pilots (+ mods). **Crew lock** is a one-way switch: nobody new can ever be added to the crew, and headship can only pass to an existing co-pilot. ## Where it lives Live on **Robinhood Chain** (Arbitrum Orbit, chain id **4663**). App: [familio.trade](https://familio.trade). Open a family at `/create`, browse at `/families`, ride at `/f/`. Connect with no profile and the site asks you to **claim a permanent @handle** — one free signature, no gas. That also signs you in and deals you an avatar. Handles never get reused.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.familio.trade/start-here/introduction.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
