FAQ
Short answers. Each links to the longer one.
Using Hoodium
Do I have to deposit anything?
No. There is no account, no deposit and no sign-up. You connect a wallet, and your positions stay in it. Connecting is a signature, not a transaction.
Which wallets work?
Anything speaking WalletConnect or an injected provider. Wallets that support batched calls (EIP-5792) get a shorter claim flow: they fold a whole chain natively and skip the claim router entirely.
Which chains?
BNB Chain (56) and Robinhood Chain (4663). Venues are PancakeSwap v3 and Uniswap v3 on BNB, Uniswap v4 and v3 on Robinhood. The launchpad is Robinhood Chain only.
What do I need to hold?
The chain’s native token for gas: BNB on 56, ETH on 4663. Nothing else. There is no Hoodium token you need in order to use anything.
Can I use the board without connecting?
Yes. Every ranking, pool page and position page is derived from public chain data and readable with no wallet at all.
Money
What does it cost?
Deposits, mints, claims to your own wallet, removing liquidity yourself and everything you can read are free. Automation takes 1.5% of the fees it claims for you, only when a rule fires. Swaps (a zap’s swap leg, an automated exit, a consolidated claim) are charged 0.01% to 0.20% depending on the pool’s fee tier and whether it was automated. The whole table is on Fees.
Is there a subscription?
No. Nothing is charged on holdings or on time. A rule that never fires costs nothing.
How do I check a charge I do not recognise?
Every automated charge emits a PlatformFeeCharged event beside the action it was taken from, and manual swap fees are a separate transfer in the same transaction. Send the transaction hash to hello@hoodium.app.
Automation
Does Hoodium get access to my funds?
It gets operator rights on the position NFT plus a signed order naming one position, one action and hard limits. It cannot send a position anywhere but back to you, cannot act on an order you did not sign, and cannot exceed the limits in your signature. See Security and risk.
Why does my new rule not do anything?
By design. A rule watches in shadow mode for seven days, recording what it would have done. Then you review that record and confirm, and only then can it fire. Nothing skips this.
How do I turn it off?
Disable the rule in the app, or revoke the contract’s approval in your wallet. Revoking stops every rule on that venue immediately and needs nothing from Hoodium.
My rules stopped working after an update.
An automation redeploy invalidates every signature bound to the old contract. That is the replay protection working. Re-sign the rules in the app; it flags which ones are stranded.
Is automation a guarantee?
No. A relayer outage, a congested chain or a price that reverses inside the time buffer all mean a rule fires late or not at all. It is a tool that acts on your behalf, not a promise of execution.
The numbers
Why is my value chart shorter than my position’s life?
Snapshots are forward-only. Fees and PnL are rebuilt from chain events and go back to the beginning; a chart of position value can only start when Hoodium began sampling that pool. Re-indexing does not backfill it.
Why is a token shown as unpriceable?
Because no pool on the chain trades it deeply enough to price it honestly. Most tokens on Robinhood Chain have no external feed, so Hoodium prices through the chain’s own pools and marks what it cannot rather than inventing a number.
Why does Hoodium not show APR?
Because an APR annualises a few good days and ignores impermanent loss. Ranking is on realised profit over the period the position actually ran, with the loss inside the figure. More on the board.
Two page loads showed the same numbers. Is it stale?
Public read endpoints are edge-cached, so briefly, yes. Anything you are about to sign is read live from the chain, not from the cache.
Launchpad
What does "liquidity locked forever" actually mean?
The graduated pool position is held by a contract with no withdrawal path: not for the creator, not for the protocol, not for governance. The principal is unrecoverable by anyone. Trading fees are still collectable, forever, 70/30 to creator and protocol.
Does locked liquidity make a token safe?
No. It guarantees the pool cannot be pulled. It guarantees nothing about the token, the creator or the price.
Can I sell back before graduation?
Yes, at the curve’s price, for as long as the target has not been reached, minus the 1% trade fee in each direction.
Can the team mint more supply?
No. The full billion is minted once at launch and there is no mint function afterwards.
The project
Is it audited?
Not externally. There are test suites, an internal audit pass on the launchpad, on-chain verification of every deployment, and a mainnet graduation rehearsal. There is no third-party audit report, and saying otherwise would be the opposite of the point. Details.
Is there a token?
HDM is designed and published as a concept at token.hoodium.app. It is not deployed, the numbers there are proposals, and nothing on Hoodium requires it today.
What happens to my money if Hoodium shuts down?
Your positions are in your wallet and stay there. The claim router is permissionless and keeps working with no server involved. A launchpad curve that reached its target can be graduated by anyone. A locked pool position keeps paying its creator through the locker. The parts that would stop are the board, the charts and the relayer. What stops is the reading and the convenience, not the ownership.
