How HoodXchange works

A launchpad and DEX built on Robinhood Chain — fair-launch tokens with a bonding curve seeded straight into a real, permanently-locked Uniswap V3 pool, plus cross-chain swaps, staking, and rewards for builders and holders. This page covers what every feature does and how to use it.

Overview

HoodXchange lets anyone launch a token with no presale and no team allocation — every token starts on a bonding curve, and as people buy, the price rises along a fixed curve until the launch “graduates” into a fully-formed, permanently-locked Uniswap V3 liquidity position. There’s no separate migration step: the pool is live and tradeable from the very first block.

Every launch also has its own dedicated staking pool, funded entirely by that token’s own trading fees — rewards aren’t shared platform-wide, they’re specific to whoever holds and stakes that particular token.

  • Launch — create a token, gas-only, no presale.
  • Swap — trade any token, same-chain or bridged in from another chain entirely.
  • Pool — view or add liquidity once a launch has graduated.
  • Disperse — send tokens to many wallets in one transaction.
  • Stake — stake a token you hold to earn a share of its own trading fees.
  • Leaderboard — see the top projects and top builders, ranked by real on-chain activity.

Launching a token

Head to Launch Pad and fill in a name, ticker, description, and optional logo/banner/socials. Launching costs gas plus a small platform launch fee — there’s no presale round and no tokens set aside for the team; the deployer can optionally make a first buy in the same transaction as the launch itself, at the very start of the curve.

Every launch mints the full supply (1,000,000,000 tokens) directly into a single-sided Uniswap V3 position on a fixed bonding curve. As buys come in, the price climbs the curve automatically — there’s no separate order book or AMM formula to reason about, just the same concentrated-liquidity math Uniswap V3 already uses.

A launch’s status on the main page reflects real net ETH contributed to the pool so far:

  • New — launched in the last 24 hours.
  • Graduating — passed 2 ETH of net contribution.
  • Graduated — passed 4.2 ETH of net contribution (roughly 80% of supply sold out of the curve, ~20% remains permanently in the LP).

There’s no on-chain “migration” moment — graduated just means the curve has progressed far enough that the frontend labels it that way. The pool has been live and tradeable since block one either way.

Swap

The Swap page finds the best route across every pool automatically, and handles wrapping/unwrapping ETH↔WETH and multi-hop routes transparently — you never have to think about which pool or how many hops a trade takes.

Pick what you’re paying with under You pay, what you want under You receive, and use the 10/25/50/MAX shortcuts to size the trade against your balance. Clicking MAX on a native token (ETH, etc.) automatically holds back a small reserve so you don’t empty your wallet of the gas needed to actually send the transaction. Slippage tolerance is adjustable (default presets or a custom %) — a trade that would move the price beyond that tolerance reverts instead of executing at a worse price than you agreed to.

Cross-chain swap

Bridging in from another chain works the same Swap page — just pick a different chain under From (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Solana, and others), and the destination token on Robinhood Chain under To. Routing across chains is handled by LI.FI, which finds a real bridge + swap path and shows you the full route before you confirm.

A cross-chain swap is a multi-step process under the hood — approve, bridge, and (if the destination token isn’t ETH) a second local swap once funds land — the page walks you through each step and shows live progress rather than one long spinner.

Every bridge path has its own minimum viable amount (it depends on the specific route LI.FI finds, and can differ by token and chain) — if an amount is too small for any available route, a warning appears under the From box telling you to try a larger amount, rather than the swap silently failing.

LP Pool

Every launch’s liquidity position is single-sided and locked permanently in the platform’s FeeLocker contract from the moment it launches — there’s no separate LP token to hold, withdraw, or rug. The Pool page shows current pool depth, price, and the fee tier for any launch, so you can see exactly how much real liquidity backs a token at any time.

Disperse

Multi-Sender lets you send a token (or native ETH) to many wallet addresses in a single transaction — useful for airdrops, team distributions, or paying out a list of wallets at once. Paste in recipients and amounts, review the total, and confirm once. A small flat fee applies per disperse transaction.

Staking & rewards

Each launch that graduates gets its own dedicated staking pool — not a platform-wide pool. Stake the project token to start earning a share of that token’s own trading fees, split between the token itself and WETH, funded purely by real swap activity on that specific token.

Rewards accrue continuously; unstaking returns your staked balance, and any converted bonus rewards follow their own unlock schedule shown on the Stake page for that token.

King of the Hood & leaderboard

King of the Hood (shown at the top of the main page’s board) is whichever launch currently has the single highest trending score on the platform. The score is an equal-weighted average of four normalized metrics — each launch’s total trading volume, total trade count, all-time-high market cap, and holder count, each compared against whichever launch is currently highest on that one metric. A launch that’s #1 on every metric scores a perfect 1.0; one with no activity scores 0.

The Leaderboard page has two views: a paginated Projects ranking (same trending score, showing ATH market cap, volume, holders, and total burnt per project) and a Builders ranking, which sums those same four metrics across every launch a given creator wallet has shipped and ranks builders cumulatively.

Where fees go

Every trade’s LP fees split automatically on-chain, read live from the FeeLocker contract — nobody has a discretionary cut sitting in the middle. By default:

  • Project token fees: 50% burned (supply reduction, gone forever) · 50% to the staking pool.
  • ETH-side fees: 50% to the staking pool · 50% to the platform.

Burns include both fees the FeeLocker itself routes to the zero address automatically, and any spontaneous burn a holder sends directly to the dead address — both count as permanently removed supply and both show up in a token’s burn history.

Fee distribution isn’t manual — anyone can trigger it early via the “Claim fees now” button on a token’s page (it’s permissionless on-chain), or it happens automatically on a scheduled interval either way.

NFT/RWA

Coming soon — tokenizing and trading real-world assets, including NFT-backed asset lines and fractionalized ownership. In active development; this section will be filled in once it launches.

FAQ

Is there a presale or team allocation?
No — every launch starts at the bottom of the bonding curve with the full supply already in the pool. The deployer can make a first buy in the same transaction as the launch, same as anyone else can immediately after.

Can liquidity be pulled/rugged?
No — the LP position is minted directly into the FeeLocker contract on launch and has no withdraw/transfer path. It’s locked for the life of the token.

What determines a token’s price?
The bonding curve’s own concentrated-liquidity math up to graduation, and normal Uniswap V3 pool pricing (supply/demand from real trades) after — there’s no manual price-setting at any point.

Why did my cross-chain swap need two confirmations?
A bridge into a non-ETH token is two steps: the bridge leg itself, then a local swap once funds land on Robinhood Chain. Both need a wallet signature.
