## What is Tilt?

Tilt provides the full stack for decentralized asset management:

* **Permissionless fund creation** — Anyone can launch a fund with a seed deposit. No gatekeepers, no paperwork.
* **2,000+ tradable assets** — Stocks, ETFs, and crypto represented as on-chain tokens on Robinhood L2.
* **Institutional-grade execution** — Automated rebalancing, slippage protection, and batch trading (10-30 simultaneous swaps).
* **Transparent fee structure** — Entry, exit, management, and performance fees — all enforced by smart contracts.
* **Withdrawal at any time** — Investors can always exit. Withdrawals are never paused.

## Why Robinhood L2?

Tilt deploys on Robinhood L2, an Arbitrum Orbit chain purpose-built for real-world asset (RWA) trading:

|                      |                                 |
| -------------------- | ------------------------------- |
| **Transaction cost** | Sub-cent (\< \$0.01)            |
| **Finality**         | \~250ms                         |
| **Compatibility**    | Full EVM equivalence            |
| **Liquidity**        | Institutional-grade RWA markets |

This means micro-strategies are viable, rebalancing is cheap, and fund managers can execute complex multi-asset trades without gas concerns.
