How HoodPad Works
HoodPad is a token launchpad on Robinhood Chain, built so that launching is fast, mechanics are fair by default, and every trade on the platform feeds a shared flywheel that pays creators, funds the team, and buys back the HoodPad token for holders. This page covers exactly how it works.
What is HoodPad
HoodPad is a token launchpad built for Robinhood Chain. Anyone can launch a token in seconds, with fair mechanics built into the contract from the first block: seeded liquidity, an optional dev buy, a max wallet cap, and anti-snipe protection, all without writing a line of code.
Every launch plugs into the same system. Every trade, on every token launched on HoodPad, feeds a shared flywheel that pays creators for building, funds the team, and buys back the HoodPad token (HPAD) on the open market. The more the platform gets used, the more value flows back to the people using it.
HPAD
HPAD is HoodPad's core token, the token the rest of the platform is built around. It's the token the Flywheel Treasury buys back with launchpad fees, and eventually the token holders will be able to stake for rewards.
HPAD carries a fee on every buy and every sell. That fee is distributed to the team and to HPAD holders, so every trade of HPAD itself contributes back to the people building the platform and the people holding its token.
The Flywheel
Every token launched on HoodPad trades under the same fee structure. On every trade, of any token launched on the platform, a small fee is split three ways:
- 0.8%to the token's Creator, claimable at any time
- 0.2%to the Team
- 0.2%to the Flywheel Treasury
The Flywheel Treasury doesn't just hold its 0.2%. It uses that share to buy back HPAD from the open market, creating steady, mechanical buy pressure that comes from trading volume, not from sentiment.
Over time, those buybacks become revenue for HPAD stakers (staking is coming soon). That's the loop: more launches and more trading volume mean more buybacks, and more buybacks mean more value flowing back to HPAD holders.
Then it loops: more attention means more launches, more launches mean more trading fees, and more fees mean bigger buybacks. The cycle compounds on itself over time.
Launch Mechanics
Every HoodPad launch comes with the same set of mechanics built in. Here's what each one actually does.
Dev Buy
Creators can optionally make an initial buy of their own token right at launch, so they start with a real position instead of an empty wallet.
Max Wallet
A per-wallet holding cap keeps any single wallet from hoarding the supply early on. It's a simple rule that keeps distribution fair for everyone who buys in.
Anti-Snipe Protection
Right at launch, trading fees start a little higher for a short window, aimed at bots trying to front-run real buyers in the first few blocks. Fees automatically step back down to the normal rate once the window closes, protecting genuine early buyers.
Liquidity
Every launch is seeded with liquidity from the start, so trading works instantly. No waiting, no manual pool setup.
Socials & Metadata
Creators add a logo, name, ticker, and links to Twitter, Telegram, and a website. All of it shows up right on the token page so traders know exactly what they're looking at.
Creator Fees & How to Claim
Launching isn't just about getting a token live, it's about getting paid for building something people want to trade. Creators earn 0.8% of every trade on their token, for as long as it trades.
Fees accrue per token and are claimable independently: claiming the fees on one token never touches the balance on another. Claim from your Dashboard, which totals your claimable balance across everything you've launched, or from the individual token page.
There's a small minimum of 0.001 ETH per claim. It exists for one reason: to stop dust-sized claims from costing more in gas than they're worth.
Fair by Design
Fairness isn't a slogan on HoodPad, it's enforced by the contracts themselves.
MEV Protection
Launches are protected against MEV bots trying to jump the line in the first blocks, so real buyers get a fair shot at entry.
Per-Pool Fee Accounting
Every token's fees are tracked in its own pool. Nothing is pooled together or averaged across tokens, so what a creator earns is exactly what their token generated.
Transparent On-Chain Fees
Every fee, the 1.2% trading fee on launched tokens and the 1% buy/sell fee on HPAD, is enforced on-chain. What you see here is what the contracts actually do.
Liquidity Seeded at Launch
No token goes live without liquidity behind it. Every launch is tradeable the second it's live.
