Itโs too hard for me to give up on this project so quickly.
So Iโm giving THE 500 a real chance.
Free mint is live
https://t.co/ZvjBuk57nt
450 FREE MINTS
1 per wallet
Reveal after mint.
Letโs see where the market takes it. ๐
First market update is complete. ๐
The board is already moving โ and a few companies have started to pull ahead.
Season 1 is officially in motion.
Who can hold the lead? ๐
Mint still open
SEASON 1 IS LIVE. ๐
In just a few hours, the market caps of all 500 companies will begin updating based on the real-world stocks assigned to each NFT.
And thereโs more:
When an NFT reaches certain milestones, its metadata will permanently evolve.
Once unlocked, it canโt go back.
500 companies. 500 NFTs. Real markets. Permanent evolution.
Let the competition begin.
OnChainHoodies has been one of the collections doing a great job of keeping the Robinhood NFT ecosystem visible and active. Consistent delivery matters.
We took a different angle with THE 500 - 500 fictional companies competing onchain, each linked to a real stock, with performance feeding back into the NFTs.
Still early for us, but itโs great building in an ecosystem with projects like this around.
Might be time for the THE 500 Treasury to pick up an @OnChainHoodies too ๐

@ohheyitstmas Man, thatโs brutal. Six years building a community and having it disappear overnight has to hurt.
Really hope you get the account back. Keep pushing the appeal - 100k people didnโt follow you by accident. ๐
@BakiXBT Add THE 500 to those bookmarks before you start ๐
500 fictional companies competing onchain, each linked to a real stock, with market caps updating from real performance.
Might not fix your life, but it could make the bookmark cleanup more interesting ๐
@ClintOnChain Couldnโt agree more ๐
We just kicked off Season 1 of THE 500 - 500 fictional companies competing onchain, each linked to a real stock, with market caps updating and NFTs evolving permanently through milestones.
Perfect timing ๐

Same.
Thatโs why I went the NFT route with THE 500 - but tried to give each one an actual role beyond just being a collectible.
500 fictional companies.
500 NFTs.
Real stocks influencing performance.
Permanent evolution through milestones.
Still early, but thatโs the experiment ๐
https://t.co/a0A47wHJ8g
@alpha_co Exactly this.
Thatโs basically why I built THE 500 - I wanted something I hadnโt seen before: 500 fictional companies competing onchain, each tied to a real stock, with their NFTs evolving as they hit milestones.
Different is the whole point ๐
https://t.co/ZvjBuk57nt
Honestly, โhave some fun for a couple of monthsโ is a solid plan ๐
Thatโs basically the spirit behind THE 500 too - 500 fictional companies competing through a full season, with real stock performance affecting their market caps along the way.
Enjoy the show ๐

@ohheyitstmas Apparently fictional companies now ๐
THE 500 just went live - 500 companies, each linked to a real stock, competing through Season 1.
Not exactly a trench play, but Iโm curious which one becomes the monster ๐
@FF_V12 Comparison is brutal because thereโs always someone richer ๐
Probably better to compete against yesterdayโs version of yourself.
Thatโs partly why I built THE 500 around companies competing with each other instead of wallets flexing against wallets ๐
@bored_mic Thatโs the part people forget - 33 days is nothing in market terms.
Weโre taking the opposite approach with THE 500: let the companies compete over time, with real stock performance feeding into their market caps.
Short-term noise is easy. Staying in the game is harder
@Wizzird I basically did an almost-GTD WL for THE 500 and still only ~50 out of 500 minted ๐
Definitely learned the difference between โmy community wants allocationโ and โmy community will actually mint.โ
Still building either way.
Feels like the right time to experiment with something a bit different in the Robinhood ecosystem ๐
We just launched THE 500 - 500 fictional companies competing onchain, each linked to a real stock.
If the ecosystem really is finding a bottom, Season 1 should be interesting to watch.
Yeah, somehow even โfree mintโ can come with a boss fight now ๐
We tried to keep THE 500 simple: clear phases, clear wallet limits, then straight into the actual game - 500 companies competing once Season 1 starts.
We havenโt even managed to mint out yet ๐
Minting should be the easy part ๐
Fair take - blue chip status has to be earned over time.
Weโre trying something very different with THE 500: 500 companies competing onchain, with performance influenced by real stocks and permanent NFT evolution through milestones.
Way too early for labels. Just building and seeing where it goes ๐
