All data is read directly from GRUBSTAKE’s own database and each user’s wallet signature — never invented. The board itself is off-chain and self-reported by design; Longbow is where the money actually moves, on-chain, in the backer’s own wallet. Empty board means no open requests right now.

Data sources
- GRUBSTAKE board (asks, stakes, settlements) — Off-chain, wallet-signed records stored in this product's own Supabase schema (p_grub). Every ask, stake and settlement is a user-signed EIP-712 payload verified server-side before it is written — it is not read from a chain contract, because this product does not have one on purpose (see FAQ: no custody, no product contract).
- Longbow / Morpho Blue on Robinhood Chain — Where the actual USDG borrow-against-Stock-Tokens happens, in the backer's own wallet. GRUBSTAKE links out to it and never routes or custodies that transfer.
- Wallet signatures (EIP-712) — Every write on this site is signed by the acting wallet (eth_signTypedData_v4) and verified server-side with viem's verifyTypedData before it reaches the database — see scripts/test-signing.mjs for an automated proof.
Cited claim
C1 — Longbow is a live curated lending protocol on Robinhood Chain, listed by DefiLlama in the Lending category with ~$3.59M TVL on 2026-09-15. Source
Internal data-source labels (used per content band)
user-input— a wallet’s own signed ask, stake or settlement submission.chain:longbow-grub-contracts— the open-requests board: rows written after a signed post, read straight from thep_grub.asksschema on the hub.chain:settlement-events— recent settlement stamps, fromp_grub.settlements.chain:reputation-book— the computed repeat-stake / paid-rate view, fromp_grub.reputation.chain:past-performance— the same reputation view, read for the “re-stake” prompt.chain:active-positions— a wallet’s own open asks and stakes on/my-stakes, always a live query, never simulated.
None of these read a GRUBSTAKE-owned smart contract — there isn’t one. “chain:” here names the data band, not an on-chain read; every row is a wallet-signed record in this product’s own database (see Longbow above for the one leg of the flow that is genuinely on-chain).
