Every hero has a villain. Meet the Sheriff.
They named the company after the hero.
Then they turned off the buy button.
The hero took off the hood. Underneath was the Sheriff.
Parody & cultural commentary. No affiliation with Robinhood Markets, Inc. A meme token with no intrinsic value — never spend more than you can afford to lose.
Every villain has an origin story. This one is public record.
The little guys finally had Wall Street on the ropes.
GameStop was climbing. Retail traders — organized, loud, and winning — had the short sellers cornered. The forest was winning for once.
And at the exact moment it mattered, the app named after the hero of Sherwood restricted buying of GME and other meme stocks — while selling stayed on. Its own users, locked out at the top of the fight.
The company said it came down to clearinghouse collateral requirements. Why it happened is still argued about. What happened is not in dispute.
All of the above is drawn from contemporaneous reporting, the company's own statements, and congressional testimony. We just wrote it in blackletter.
The app that swore to democratize finance became the thing it claimed to fight.
The hero took off the hood. Underneath was the Sheriff.
Eight hundred years of Robin Hood stories agree on one thing: the tale doesn't work without the Sheriff of Nottingham. This chain launched with a cat, a maid, a forest full of merry men — and no villain. The story was missing its antagonist.
But the story isn't over. On Robinhood Chain, the Sheriff no longer hides behind a friendly app. He is out in the open — on-chain, permissionless, visible to every outlaw in the forest.
You can see him coming. You hold your own keys now. And on this chain, the buy button can never be turned off again.
$SHERIFF is here to finish the story.
Four steps. No permission required. That's the whole point.
A self-custody wallet — MetaMask, Rabby, or similar. Your keys, your coins. The Sheriff can't confiscate what he doesn't hold.
Robinhood Chain is an Arbitrum-based L2 with ETH for gas. Bridge ETH over using the official bridge, then add the network to your wallet.
Copy the official contract address from this page — nowhere else. Check it character by character. Impostors hang around the gates.
Paste the contract into Uniswap on Robinhood Chain and swap ETH for $SHERIFF. The buy button works. It always will here.
⚠ This is the only official contract address. Any other address claiming to be $SHERIFF is an impostor — and impostor contracts are rampant on this chain. Verify before you trade. Always.
The Sheriff answers no one. His scribe, however, has prepared the following.
