Every creator has their own tradable card, with a live price determined by a bonding curve.
Every weekday, each creator earns a Pulse Score from 0 to 100, based on the reach and engagement generated by their X content that day.
Post banger content, score high. Ghost your timeline, score low.
Back the creators you believe in. Buy, top up or sell at any time. No set-and-forget, no holding lock-up.
Once a day the snapshot fires. Rewards are determined by who holds each creator’s cards at that exact moment. Buy before the snapshot and you are in. Sell before it and you are not.
The creators with the highest Pulse Scores take the reward places. Their holders split the ETH pot in proportion to the number of cards they held at the snapshot.
Winnings arrive automatically in your HoodFrens wallet the following day latest.
| Place | Share of pot |
|---|---|
| 🌟 1st place | 40% (20% standard + 20% StarFren bonus) |
| 🥈 2nd place | 20% |
| 🥉 3rd place | 20% |
| 🥉 4th place | 20% |
Holders of the day’s highest-scoring creator receive a double share. As the creator roster grows, so will the number of paid places.
Daily Races run Monday to Friday. Weekends are for touching grass.
HoodFrens funds its rewards through trading activity.
Selling. A 9.4% fee, divided as follows:
| Goes to | Share |
|---|---|
| Prize pool | 4.5% |
| The creator | 3.4% |
| Your referrer | 0.5% |
| Protocol | 1.0% |
Launch-window buys. For the first 30 minutes after a new creator card launches, buys carry a 20% launch fee (10% to the prize pool, 10% to the protocol). This seeds the prize pool while making automated launch sniping expensive.
Normal buys. After the 30-minute launch window, there is no buy fee. Ever.
HoodFrens seeds every new creator card with launch inventory held by the protocol treasury. Those cards count toward supply like any other, so when a creator places in the Daily Race, the pot is split across all of that creator’s cards, including the treasury’s.
The treasury never keeps its share. Every reward allocated to treasury-held cards is rolled into future prize pools, stacking tomorrow’s pots higher. No house profit from prizes, ever.
Treasury inventory is distributed into player hands over time through packs and free rewards, so its slice shrinks every day. The rollover is largest at launch and fades as cards reach the community, until pots pay out almost entirely to players.
Creators join HoodFrens in waves. Series 1 is the founding roster, with creator cards added directly to the open market. From Series 2 onward, new creators arrive through gacha packs. Rip a pack. See what you pull.
In real-world card collecting, first editions are often the most sought-after. HoodFrens builds that principle directly into the game by giving earlier series a permanent Daily Race scoring advantage.
| Series | Permanent boost |
|---|---|
| Series 1 | +4% |
| Series 2 | +2.5% |
| Series 3 | +1.5% |
| Series 4 | +1% |
| Series 5+ | Base score |
A creator’s series boost is locked when their card launches and never changes. Once Series 1 is full, no new creator card will ever receive the +4% boost.
Non-tradable Fantasy cards are earned through your trading volume in the Daily game. They cannot be bought or sold. They can only be earned.
