How HOODFOLIO works.

Overview

HOODFOLIO is an ordinary ETH-paired coin launched on Pons, the launchpad of Robinhood Chain. Trade it anywhere. What makes it a fund is what happens to its creator fee: 95% of it buys a fixed basket of eight Robinhood Chain coins, by weight, and the engine airdrops those coins to every holder. Hold one coin, receive eight.

The remaining 5% is the operational share: servers, RPC and gas. There is no second token and no buyback tax.

The fee

Pons charges a creator fee on every trade of a coin, on the bonding curve and in its pool after graduation, and pays it to the coin's registered fee recipient through the Pons fee escrow. HOODFOLIO's creator and fee recipient is the fund's engine wallet. Each round the engine sweeps the curve (or the pool), claims the escrow and books what arrived: 95% to the basket, 5% to operations. The engine only ever spends fees it has claimed and only ever airdrops coins it has bought.

The basket

Eight coins at 12.5% each: CASHCAT, PONS, VIRTUAL, GOOSE, NOVAAI, AI, ARROW and BUN. Nobody typed that list. It was picked from the live market by a script that anyone can rerun (npm run basket), with these rules:

• not a quote asset (ETH, WETH, USDG) and not a tokenized stock;
• a pool the engine can pay into holding at least $100,000 of liquidity, older than seven days, with at least $20,000 traded in the last day;
• a simulated buy, a transfer of what was bought to a second wallet, and a sell of what arrived must all go through, losing less than 6% on the round trip. A honeypot, a transfer tax or a pool that refuses outside swaps fails here;
• of the coins that pass, the eight with the deepest tradable pools.

The result is frozen. The basket does not follow the market from round to round or change with anyone's opinion.

The round

1. The engine sweeps the coin's curve or pool and claims the fee waiting in the Pons escrow.
2. The pot is split by weight and every coin of the basket is bought, one swap each, on its Pons curve or pool or through the Uniswap router. Every round, all eight. The fund is never 100% in one coin. Each buy is simulated first against the latest block; the minimum it will accept is the simulated amount less 5%. A buy that fails the simulation is never sent.
3. Each coin accumulates in the fund's inventory. Once a pile is worth 0.001 ETH it is airdropped to every holder, biggest piles first, up to three per round. Smaller piles keep growing. Nothing is lost.

A pot under 0.0015 ETH waits for the next round. A step that fails is retried next round because the ETH or the coins are still in the engine wallet. Rolled-over and failed rounds are on the ledger too.

The airdrop

Shares are strictly proportional to how much HOODFOLIO a wallet holds at the moment of the round, read from the coin's own transfer history. The curve, the pool, the protocol's contracts and the engine wallet are excluded before dividing. On Robinhood Chain a wallet needs no account to receive a coin, so every holder is paid; the only floor is economic: a share worth less than half a cent stays in the pile and goes out with a later drop, so nobody is paid less than the gas it costs. Rewards arrive on their own. There is nothing to claim.

The engine wallet

The fund's wallet is HOODFOLIO's creator on Pons. Its key is encrypted at rest and used only to claim, buy and airdrop. It needs a little ETH for gas; if it runs low the round is skipped with a note until it is topped up. The engine keeps its own books of what it claimed, what is in the pot and what it bought, so nothing else that wallet might hold is ever spent or distributed.

The drop contract

Airdrops go out through a small contract, HoodfolioDrop, that sends one coin to a few hundred holders in a single transaction, pulling from the engine wallet. A receiver the coin refuses is skipped and logged instead of failing the whole drop; that share stays in the pile. The contract is deployed through the standard CREATE2 deployer with a zero salt, so its address follows from its code alone and anyone can check that the code there is the code in the repository.

Ledger

Every round is a line on the ledger with its claim, buy and airdrop transactions on Blockscout. Every payout to every wallet can be looked up by address. The ledger starts empty; an empty window does not mint a placeholder.

Launchpad

Anyone can launch an index that runs exactly like HOODFOLIO, with a basket they choose: 2 to 8 coins from the verified catalogue, each at least 5% of it. The catalogue holds every coin that passes the same test as HOODFOLIO's eight (a deep ETH or USDG pool, real daily volume, a week of age, and a simulated buy, transfer and sell that loses under 6%).

1. The site creates an engine wallet for the new fund and builds the Pons launch with that engine as the coin's creator-fee recipient. The launch is simulated before it is offered.
2. The creator signs it from their own wallet and pays the Pons launch fee. From the first trade the fee goes to the fund's engine, never to the creator.
3. The fund is listed only after the server reads the launch from the chain and confirms the fee recipient is its engine.
4. Every round, the engine claims the fee and splits it: 90% buys the fund's basket and is airdropped to its holders, 5% buys HOODFOLIO and sends it to the burn address, 5% pays the engine's gas. The first gas for a new fund is granted by HOODFOLIO's engine.

Every fund has its own page, rounds, ledger and wallet lookup, and shows on the board. HOODFOLIO itself keeps its 95 / 5 split.

Important notes

Payouts depend on trading volume; no volume means no fee and no rounds. The coins in the basket are bought at market and can lose value. HOODFOLIO is not a regulated fund and is not affiliated with Robinhood, Pons or any coin in the basket. Nothing here is financial, legal, or tax advice.
