You’ve seen the pumps. You’ve seen the rugs.

Have you seen who’s still shipping when nobody’s watching?

Three months inside Robinhood Chain. Overlooked builders, our own fuckups, and the work that never made your feed.

You haven’t seen the whole chain. https://t.co/5G2c3ksGz6

[Hey Research Lab @HeyResearch]

Shipped this week on Robinhood Chain, read from public sources:

[Hey Research Lab @HeyResearch]

Small builders are useful enough to build your ecosystem, but never important enough to get your attention.

Without builders, Robinhood Chain is nothing.

This isn't FUD. We build on Robinhood Chain every day and we want it to win more than anyone. So let's say the quiet part out loud.

This chain earned about $51M in fees in its first quarter. More than Ethereum, by ARK's count.

The builder money we can find in public is $1M Robinhood put into Arbitrum's hackathons. The $100M developer program everyone talks about is still a rumor.

Since mid September:
Daily DEX volume fell from $2.6B to $1.1B.
Trades from 7M a day to 2M.
Token launches from 28,000 a day to 7,000.
Pons fees from $11.4M on its best day to about $300K. Down 97%.

The builders didn't leave. 20 to 40 teams still ship every single day. 257 ships from 162 projects last week. Real releases, real contracts, real code. Hey Research Lab reads every one of them off its source.

And almost nobody sees them. They post their releases to empty timelines. They ship at 3am and wake up to zero replies. They pay for servers, RPC, indexers and audits out of their own pockets, hoping someone notices. Pay peanuts and you get monkeys, and these teams aren't even getting peanuts.

For how long? Until the savings run out? Until another team quietly shuts down? Until the people doing the work accept that nobody was coming to look?

Every time Robinhood talks about this chain, it's Stock Tokens and RWA. We understand, that's yours. But the builders are yours too.

We know you can't promote tokens. We're not asking you to. Promote the builders: their apps, their code, their releases. A directory of what's built here. Grants that go straight to the teams. A spotlight on your own timeline. None of that is investment advice. All of it is discovery.

@vladtenev @johannkerbrat @RobinhoodCrypto make the selection process public. Show us how an unknown team gets considered. Publish who receives support, why they were chosen, and what they deliver. Let the work compete.

@ponsdotfamily most of this chain launched through you. When your market drops, every project on it drops too, shipping or not. Help the teams who keep building on what you launched get seen.

Be as angry at Hey Research Lab as you want. Ignore us, criticize us, make us the ones you blame. We can take it. But at least support the small builders. The ones still here, still shipping, still believing.

We're not writing this to fight anyone. We're writing it because we want Robinhood Chain to make it. Robinhood, Pons, the builders and everyone using what gets built here are on the same side. A better ecosystem only happens if we build it together.

If you build on Robinhood Chain, or you love something built here, quote this post. Share one thing you're proud of on this chain and tag @vladtenev. Let him see who's still here.

We're not going anywhere. We'll keep shipping and keep counting every ship.

Open the door. Let the work speak.

[Hey Research Lab @HeyResearch]

Not every commit is a ship.

A bot committing every 25 minutes: not counted.
27 releases cut in 3 seconds: counts once.
A dependency bump: not counted.
A docs-only week: not counted.
A blog post with no release in it: not counted.

What's left is building. That's what Hey Research Lab counts, and every ship keeps its source.

[Hey Research Lab @HeyResearch]

Proof of Ship is our entry for the @WIFonRH World is Flat hackathon.

Back any Robinhood Chain builder with $WIF, and it only pays out when they ship.

Pick any project with a page on Hey Research Lab and open a bounty for it yourself. Lock some $WIF in it, and anyone can add more.

The builder keeps shipping: releases, deployed contracts, code that changed. Hey Research Lab counts every ship from its public source, using the same rule as every page on the site.

Hit the target and the $WIF goes to the builder, with a small slice burned. Miss the deadline and every backer takes their $WIF back.

Payouts only go to the team's own wallet, the one that claimed its Hey Research Lab page or deployed its verified token.

The escrow has no owner and no admin key, and the source is verified.

We opened a small demo bounty to show it working end to end: 5,000 $WIF for @pfwafun, released at 3 ships. The size is up to whoever opens one, so open the next one for a builder you want to see ship.

[World is Flat @WIFonRH]

The World Is Flat Hackathon on Robinhood Chain is underway.

We’re inviting developers to explore what can be built on Robinhood Chain - from consumer apps and games to infrastructure, tools and entirely new experiments.

$10,000 in prizes for builders on Robinhood Chain.

For us, ownership is not only about holding an asset - it is also about having a voice in what gets built next.

Build something new.
Test an idea.
Show us what should exist on Robinhood Chain.

Where you’re born or where you live shouldn’t limit what you get to build.

Talent is everywhere, so opportunity should be too.

[Hey Research Lab @HeyResearch]

@ponsdotfamily Ship morning.🚢

[Hey Research Lab @HeyResearch]

@vladtenev Global access only works if the infrastructure behind it keeps shipping.

We’re tracking the builders, deployments and real development happening across Robinhood Chain as that ecosystem grows.

More regions. More builders. More to verify.

[Vlad Tenev @vladtenev]

There are millions of people around the world who want to invest, build wealth, and own a piece of the global economy.

Many of them are in places where we're only beginning to build.

We've received approval to establish Robinhood in the Middle East from the DIFC, bringing us closer to a world where ownership knows no borders. 🇦🇪

[Hey Research Lab @HeyResearch]

Thanks! UniWall already has a page on HEY, it just can't count anything yet. Three things would change that:

1. Put the UNIWALL contract (0x2559…243a) on https://t.co/jTmBxLYaxv. Once your own site names the token, HEY verifies it and reads your site as official.
2. Link a public GitHub repo for the hook and contracts from your site, with https://t.co/jTmBxLYaxv as the repo's homepage. Commits and releases there count as ships, each with its source.
3. Verify the hook's source on Sourcify or Blockscout. If it was deployed by the same address as the token, HEY ties it to your page and lists it with the Robinhood Chain v4 hooks.

You can also claim the page at https://t.co/moV4yUEJ67. Claiming proves ownership, but on its own it doesn't change any status or order.

[Hey Research Lab @HeyResearch]

Builders helping builders 🤝

Every Robinhood Chain token market on @pfwafun now shows HEY's builder card, right next to YES and NO. Building status from evidence, the latest ship with its source, and no price signal anywhere on it.

They also put our badge in their footer and HEY in their "Powered by" strip. On our side, Sherwood's two Uniswap v4 hooks are now on HEY, tied to PFWA's page.

Check what shipped, then make your call 🫡

[predict FWA @pfwafun]

PFWA x Hey Research Lab
New on https://t.co/AP7idaLQLz: every token market now shows who’s building.

Open any Robinhood Chain token market and @HeyResearch’s builder card sits right next to YES and NO:
→ building status, read from evidence
→ the latest ship, linked to its source
→ meaningful ships over the last 30 days

Token not on HEY yet? Scan it from the market page.

Check what shipped, then make your call 🫡

We just rebuilt our GitHub profile from the ground up. If you build on Robinhood Chain, it's worth two minutes of your time 👇

https://t.co/kRiZfacOA7

Hey Research Lab is the public record of building on Robinhood Chain. We read the chain, the code and the releases, and answer one question with evidence: who is actually building, and what did they ship? Every claim links to its source. Price is context, never the verdict.

Here's what you'll find on the profile:

Live numbers. Robinhood Chain projects and tokens on record, project pages, teams proven to be building, and every fix we've sent. Refreshed every day.

Fixes we send upstream. When we read a team's code and find a bug we can fix, we open the pull request ourselves: dead explorer links, wrong chain config, block-time maths, stale contract addresses. 145 so far, to 119 repos we don't own, and 17 merged by their teams.

Tools you can use today, free. Check any token, read the weekly builder report, call the public API, embed a live builder card, or show your project's HEY badge.

Built for AI agents. A hosted MCP server, an ERC-8004 agent registered on Robinhood Chain, and a connector in Claude's directory.

Open source. The SDK, MCP server, CLI, token check and the Robinhood Chain registry, all public and MIT licensed.

Teams already building with us:
@usechit
@RHToolsXYZ
@HoodLockRH
@Orus_agent
@axon402
@pfwafun

If you're building on Robinhood Chain and want builder context in your product, the API, the embed and the badge are all free. Read the code, fork it, or send us a fix of your own.

[Hey Research Lab @HeyResearch]

@pfwafun 🤝

[Hey Research Lab @HeyResearch]

@RobinAlphas That’s exactly the kind of support good builders need.

We’ll keep doing our part by surfacing the teams that are still shipping and backing it with public evidence.

You help push them, we help find them.

[Hey Research Lab @HeyResearch]

@pfwafun @RobinhoodCrypto 🤝

[predict FWA @pfwafun]

Builders helping builders. 🫡

Open any @RobinhoodCrypto token market on https://t.co/vM4obZPbLB and @HeyResearch's research sits right next to the trade: what the team shipped, when, and the evidence behind it.

Check what shipped, then make your call.
