The idea
A Noshi envelope holds a fraction of a stock or a fund: NVIDIA, Apple, the S&P 500 and twelve others. You choose the amount in dollars, write a note and get a link. The person you send it to opens the envelope in their browser, reads your note and keeps the share.
The shares are stock tokens on Robinhood Chain. They track the stock, and they receive its dividends and splits. Noshi never holds your money in between: the purchase and the seal happen in the same transaction, and the sealed share sits in a contract that nobody administers.
One gift, start to finish
- Fill. Pick the stock, the amount ($1 to $1,000), the occasion, a note and your name. Fill and send
- Seal. Your wallet signs once for the USDG and sends one transaction. The contract buys the share and seals it under the link.
- Send. Share the link, the QR code or a printed card.
- Open. They open it, choose an address, and the share is delivered. Noshi pays the network fee. Open an envelope
What you need
| To send | To open |
|---|---|
| A wallet on Robinhood Chain | The link |
| USDG for the amount | An address, from any wallet app, by day 30 |
| A little ETH for the network fee (about a cent) | Nothing else. No ETH, no account |
The one rule
An unopened envelope goes back to its sender after 30 days, and nobody can take it before then. The 30-day rule explains what that guarantees and what it doesn't.
