about cchip
a quiet little chip for money that isn't coming back.
what is cchip?
cchip is a read-only watchtower for Robinhood Chain (an Ethereum L2, chain id 4663). It keeps a running tally of everything that has been permanently burned, mis-sent, or otherwise lost on the chain — and streams new losses live as they happen.
It's not a wallet, not an exchange, and not a contract. It holds no funds, holds no keys, and can't touch anything. It just watches, and writes down what it sees.
why track burned money?
Burn activity is a real on-chain signal — it shows deflationary pressure, tells you what a community is willing to destroy, and documents how much value has simply vanished. Most explorers show you a single transaction at a time; cchip shows you the lifetime total, broken down by address and token.
questions
Native ETH and well-known tokens (WETH, USDG) are priced. USDG is assumed to equal $1. Other tokens are counted by amount but left unpriced, so the dollar total is a lower bound, not a perfect figure.
No. A burn address has no private key, and tokens sent to their own contract are stuck by design. "Gone forever" is not an exaggeration — that's the whole point.
Never. It's a read-only node. No private keys, no signing, no transactions.
The official Robinhood Chain RPC with a public fallback, Robinhood's documented token contracts for canonical addresses, and CoinGecko for the ETH price. Every event links to the block explorer so you can verify it yourself.
disclaimer
cchip is a data tool, not financial advice. Figures are read from public chain state and may lag or be incomplete. Verify anything important against the explorer before relying on it.
