More soon.

Two new projects have been added to the Hood Index whitelist:
• GameStop, $GME
• TENDIES, $TENDIES
Both are now eligible for inclusion in future reward baskets and can be distributed to eligible $HI holders.
Also made some further improvements to the frontend and analytics.
Hood Index has officially graduated.
A major milestone for $HI and a strong foundation for what comes next.
Graduation marks the beginning of our next phase: expanding holder rewards, supporting more ecosystem projects, and turning the momentum behind $HI into continued growth across Robinhood Chain.
We have come a long way. Now we build on it.
Huge milestone!
Over $7,500 worth of Robinhood Chain ecosystem tokens have now been distributed to eligible $HI holders, all before Hood Index has even migrated.
• 60 epochs completed
• 252 unique wallets rewarded
• 7,859 wallet-epoch rewards
• 23,473 confirmed token payouts
100% back to the ecosystem.

The $HI Holder Lottery is now live!🎟️
10% of collected Tax now builds the next draw pot, creating a second reward stream alongside automatic holder distributions.
Each round spans 48 consecutive 30-minute epochs—approximately 24 hours. Every completed eligible epoch adds weight based on the minimum $HI balance you held throughout that epoch, capped by your eligible balance at the final checkpoint.
More $HI + longer holding = better odds.
Partial sales reduce your weight, while fully exiting removes your final eligibility. New holders can begin building weight after completing one full epoch. No staking, registration or gas is required to participate.
The economics are simple:
• 90% of collected Tax funds automatic ecosystem-token distributions
• 10% funds the holder lottery
• 90% of each lottery pot goes to the winner
• 10% rolls into the next draw
Technically, each round’s 48 epoch snapshots are sealed and converted into a Merkle-sum tree containing every wallet’s weight. Attesters approve the exact round commitment before it is finalized.
Chainlink CCIP then sends the randomness request from Robinhood Chain to Arbitrum, where Chainlink VRF v2.5 produces a verifiable random word. CCIP returns the result to Robinhood Chain, and an on-chain Merkle-sum proof maps the resulting ticket to the winning wallet.
Anyone can independently reconstruct the weight tree, verify the root, derive the winning ticket and confirm the payout.
We already completed a full weighted mainnet example using six synthetic holder profiles with different balances and holding periods—using real CCIP messages, real Chainlink VRF, real settlement and a real payout.

Hold $HI. Build weight. Win the pot.
We’re starting development on the $HI Daily Draw now and expect it to be live today.
Beginning with the next few epochs, 10% of protocol fees will be allocated to the daily draw jackpot. This allocation will also be reflected in the frontend.
Proposal: $HI Daily Draw
10% of protocol fees would continuously fund an ETH jackpot, with one winner drawn every 24 hours.
Your entry weight would build across each 30-minute epoch based on the minimum $HI balance held during that period. Holding more $HI for longer would increase your odds.
Chainlink CCIP would relay a VRF randomness request through Arbitrum and return the result to Robinhood Chain, where the winner would be selected fully onchain.
The worker issue has been patched, and additional safeguards have been added to prevent it from happening again. All 123 eligible wallets have now been paid.
Two new projects have been added to the Hood Index whitelist:
• The Index, $INDEX
• Robinhood Wallet, $WALLET
Both are now eligible to be selected for future reward baskets and distributed to $HI holders.
We have also made a minor change: moving forward, $HI will always be included as one of the selected tokens in every epoch.
We understand that a team wallet holding a large amount of $HI can create uncertainty for holders, so we have permanently burned the wallet’s full 60,242,607.74 $HI balance by sending it to the canonical dead address.
The team allocation was originally 5% of the supply. The remaining balance accumulated through the wallet’s proportional share of previous epoch rewards. The entire amount—including those rewards—is now permanently inaccessible and can never be sold, transferred, or recovered.
Verify the burn on-chain:
https://t.co/f8tX3Lz5aP
To preserve the team’s originally disclosed reward entitlement, the burned allocation is now represented only as non-transferable virtual weight. This is not a spendable token balance—it exists solely to calculate the team’s proportional share of future epoch rewards.
Those rewards will be sent to this disclosed beneficiary address moving forward:
https://t.co/OTzIlYoA9P
We have also expanded public transparency across the website. Every epoch card now links to a complete reward ledger showing each eligible wallet’s actual $HI balance, virtual weight where applicable, total effective weight, percentage share, and the exact tokens received during that epoch.

Hood Index just crossed a major milestone.
In only seven completed epochs, over 2.5 ETH in rewards has already been distributed to eligible $HI holders.
Every reward purchase and payout is verifiable on-chain.
