# Trading & Utility

RAKE actions for swapping, tipping, buying, burning, buybacks, and bridging.

## Trading & Utility

RAKE utility continues after an asset launches. Users can trade, transfer, acquire, burn, buy back, and bridge through supported actions.

These actions cover distinct interactions:

* **Trading:** swap one asset for another.
* **Value transfer:** tip a supported asset to another user.
* **Acquisition:** buy a token with ETH.
* **Balance reduction:** burn tokens from your own balance.
* **Purchase and burn:** buy a token, then burn that purchased token.
* **Chain entry:** bring ETH from outside into Robinhood Chain.

### Execution model

Every documented utility action moves value. Each action requires Echo confirmation before execution.

```
User action
    ↓
RAKE prepares the transaction
    ↓
Echo confirmation
    ↓
Execution
```

Echo creates an explicit confirmation step. It validates the amount in the prepared draft before RAKE executes. [Echo Confirmation](/rake/how-rake-works/echo-confirmation.md) documents the complete confirmation model.

| Action  | Echo |
| ------- | ---- |
| Swap    | Yes  |
| Tip     | Yes  |
| Buy     | Yes  |
| Burn    | Yes  |
| Buyback | Yes  |
| Bridge  | Yes  |

### Available actions

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.rakelaunch.xyz/rake/trading-and-utility.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
