how hoodpad works
everything below is enforced by contracts on Robinhood Chain — not by us.
launching a coin
One transaction does everything. The factory deploys your token (1 billion fixed supply — no mint function, no owner, no taxes), creates a Uniswap V3 pool starting around a $2.7k market cap, and locks the entire supply into the pool as liquidity.
- Cost: 0.0005 ETH flat fee + your dev buy (min 0.001 ETH) + gas (~a cent).
- Dev buy: your opening purchase, executed in the same transaction before anyone else can trade. It's also the pool's first real ETH.
- You are the creator on-chain: the wallet that launches is written into the contract as the fee recipient. We can't change it, and neither can anyone else.
why it can't be rugged
The LP position (an NFT) is held by the factory contract, and the factory has no function to withdraw it— not for the creator, not for us, not for anyone. That's not a promise, it's a property of the code: the liquidity is locked the moment the coin exists. Sells can only trade back down the same curve buys went up, so the pool can never owe more ETH than it holds.
trading & fees
Coins trade on Uniswap V3 from the first second — there's no bonding-curve waiting room and no migration event. Every pool uses the 1% fee tier, and that fee is the whole economy:
- ETH-side fees: 70% to the creator, 30% to the platform — every buy, every sell, forever.
- Token-side fees: half are burned 🔥 (sent to the dead address — every claim shrinks supply), and the remaining half splits 70/30 the same way. No hidden taxes anywhere.
- Fees accrue inside the pool. A keeper sweeps every coin periodically — payouts and burns happen automatically — and creators can also claim on demand from the dashboard or by calling claimFees(token) directly (it's permissionless; funds always route to the right wallets).
The buy/sell box on each coin page swaps through our open router contract with a 3% max-slippage guard. TheHoodScreener terminalhas the same in-house swap on every Robinhood Chain token, plus heat scores, live feeds, and graduation tracking.
the 5 ETH milestone
The progress bar on each coin tracks real ETH in the pool toward 5 ETH — the ecosystem's "graduated" convention 👑. Unlike other launchpads nothing unlocks at 5 ETH (trading was never restricted); it's a liquidity-depth badge, not a gate.
