Burn a token. Receive stablecoins. Instantaneously.
Redeem converts any Flo token back into USDC or USDT on any supported chain, settled onchain as soon as the prime broker offsets the underlying position.
The full redeem spec lives in the docs
Request parameters, the burn-then-settle state machine, failure semantics, and the developer-fee object — Python and Node.js tabs, copy-ready. Redeem is permissioned at the API and non-custodial at settlement.
How redemption works
Three steps. Burn, offset, pay out. The whole sequence finishes in seconds on a normal market day.
Submit the redeem
One POST call with the token, quantity, and payout destination. Flo verifies the token holder, compliance state, and balance.
Burn + broker offset
Flo burns the Flo tokens onchain and instructs the prime broker to offload the matching underlying position at the best available price.
Stablecoin payout
Payout stablecoins land in the destination wallet on the chain you specified. The onchain leg is instant; the broker-side redemption clears in the background and the SPV absorbs the timing gap.
Designed for builders
Redeem is the counterpart to mint: symmetric, instantaneous, and observable. Every state transition is exposed so you can reconcile against your own books.
Instantaneous payout
The SPV burns the token and releases stablecoins to the destination wallet the moment the redeem call is processed.
No lockups, no queues
Redeem any Flo token at any time. No redemption windows, no cooldowns, no gated withdrawals.
Any supported chain
Receive payout on Ethereum, Base, or Arbitrum — different from the chain the token lives on, if you want.
USDC or USDT
Choose the stablecoin at redeem time. The SPV handles the FX leg if the underlying asset is quoted in a non-USD currency.
Full audit trail
Every redemption is logged onchain with the burn tx, the payout tx, and the matching SPV redemption record.
Webhooks for every state
Subscribe to redeem.queued, redeem.filled, and redeem.settled to drive UI updates and accounting reconciliation.
Built-in fee collection
Pass amount_bps and a destination wallet on any redeem. Flo accrues your fee and settles it daily in USDC — no fee infrastructure to build.
What happens outside core trading hours
The Flo API mirrors every major exchange's full schedule — pre-market, core session, post-market, and overnight. Liquidity is deepest during the core session. Redemptions submitted outside that window are queued or offset on a best-effort basis against secondary market liquidity. The stablecoin payout still lands in the destination wallet instantaneously once the broker offset completes.
Every Flo token is redeemable on demand
No lockups, no gating, no broker calls. Just client.redeem() and your users get stablecoins on the chain of their choice.
