What is Roobee: the platform’s centralized part
The Roobee community has significantly expanded over the last few months. We are happy to see many new users joining the Roobee project and so we thought that it would be a fitting time to post a series of introductory articles about the platform. We’ve split this particular article into two parts, with Part 1 exploring our centralized product and Part 2 taking a look at the decentralized side of the Roobee platform. Without further ado, welcome to the Roobee family and let’s dive into Part 1!
The Roobee project has been active on the market for several years. In 2019, we released our centralized product app.roobee.io, and in 2021 we leaped into the world of DeFi by launching roobee.finance.
Basic info about Roobee
As we’ve just said, the Roobee project encompasses a number of products and services that are grouped under two main sections — the centralized part and our decentralized solution. With the help of the centralized part of the Roobee platform, users can buy investment products of the traditional market and participate in pre-IPOs. The decentralized part enables users to perform the entire set of actions related to crypto and DeFi: buy crypto, make swaps, earn yields, and more.
The centralized part of the Roobee platform

At Roobee, we strive to create and develop our products in a way that will make it easy for you to use them. Via the centralized part of Roobee, users can with just a few clicks buy traditional market products like popular ETFs or participate in pre-IPO rounds of companies before the latter go public.
It’s important to mention that users can purchase traditional market products by paying in crypto and do so with minimal entry thresholds. For example, via Roobee, a user can buy an ETF or join a pre-IPO round with BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, and BUSD.
Products available on the centralized part of the Roobee platform
We do our utmost to select and provide only top-quality products for users to earn yields on. Roobee users can access traditional market products from various sectors and participate in pre-IPOs of promising companies.
Let’s talk about each product category in more detail.

Using the ROOBEE token on the centralized part of the platform
ROOBEE holders can use the token on the Roobee platform and get the following advantages:
- Fee reduction
- Priority access to pre-IPO products — ROOBEE holders participate in pre-IPOs by bypassing the queue
- The ability to pay pre-IPO participation fees on the platform in ROOBEE tokens
Users can also use the ROOBEE token on the decentralized part of the Roobee platform. We will touch on that in our next article.
Blockchain
Proof of each purchase of a particular product gets recorded on the blockchain. Purchase/participation confirmations are done via the BNB Chain network.
Thanks to the use of blockchain technology, each investment product on the platform has verifiable statistics that is impossible to forge
