4,663 pixel Hoods, 24 by 24, drawn by a contract on Robinhood Chain. Sold one at a time on a staccpad Number Go Up curve: the price only rises, and you can always sell a Hood back to the contract at the floor. Every trait is dealt from a sealed seed, so nobody sees a Hood before it is minted.
These are previews from the same renderer that will draw the real ones. Click one for its traits. A preview is not a token and may never appear in the collection: every real Hood is dealt from the sealed seed when it is minted.
Follow @4663hoods for the date. Nothing to claim, no allowlist: mint when it opens.
The promise: every Hood's traits are dealt from the sealed seed and never changed by us. Later, holders may be able to change their own Hood through actions they take, such as using items earned with other collections, and every such change will be a public transaction on the chain.
Each Hood's look is keccak256(salt, drand, id) fed into an on-chain renderer. The salt is ours and sealed: its hash is published before launch, the salt itself after the last Hood is sold. The drand value is a public random beacon from a round named before launch, published by a league of universities and companies, which nobody can predict. Neither we nor they could steer a single Hood, and anyone can check every deal.
Everything below is what we are doing and why, written before the launch so it can be held against us afterwards. Nothing here is a promise of price. It is a description of a machine.
4663 Hoods launches on staccpad's Number Go Up factory, the same contract family as denobodies. There is no batch mint and no allowlist. The contract sells Hoods one at a time, and every sale sets the next price a little higher, 0.05 percent per Hood. Ninety percent of every purchase goes into a vault held by the contract. The floor is that vault divided by the Hoods alive, and any holder can sell a Hood back to the contract at the floor minus 6 percent, any time, no buyer needed. Buy and sell straight back and you lose about 15 percent, by design.
| Setting | Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Supply | 4,663 | The chain id. Nothing more can ever be minted. |
| Base price | 0.0001 ETH | The first Hood. About a quarter. |
| Step | 0.05 percent per Hood | Hood 1,000 costs about 0.000165 ETH, the last one about 0.001 ETH. |
| Vault share | 90 percent | Backs the floor. The other 10 percent goes to us. |
| Exit fee | 6 percent | Stays in the vault when a Hood is sold back, so the floor never falls. |
| Royalty | 5 percent | On OpenSea sales only. |
The launch mints 150 Hoods to us. We pay for them: 0.015 ETH goes into the vault with the launch, so the floor starts at the full base price from token one. The factory would let a creator seed for free, which would leave the first buyers standing on an empty vault. We do not do that, and the launch script we use refuses to.
Each Hood is drawn by a contract on Robinhood Chain from a 32-byte seed. The seed is keccak256(salt, drand, id): our sealed salt, whose hash is published before launch and which itself is published after the last Hood sells; the value of a public drand random beacon round named before launch, published by the League of Entropy and predictable by nobody; and the Hood's id. We could not pick a salt knowing the beacon, and the beacon could not know our salt. After sell-out anyone can recompute all 4,663 and compare.
Unminted ids return a blank placeholder, never a preview, so there is no waiting for a good one. The only way to learn what a Hood is, is to buy it.
The renderer, with every trait table and every rectangle, is a contract on chain, verified so anyone can read it. The metadata is served from this site so marketplaces can read it, and it only ever calls that contract. If this site vanished, the art would still be on the chain and anyone could serve it again.
The colour is #CCFF00. It is the background, the hood, the shades, the halo, the pin and the chart line. The Chart Only Up background is a line that only rises. This collection exists because stacc built the machine it runs on and the CCFF00 collection made the colour mean something.
Unaudited contracts by staccpad run the curve. Do not put in what you cannot lose.
The first event once the Hoods exist. Every #CCFF00 square gets one roll at a CCFF00 potion, tracked here so anyone can see which squares are fresh and which have rolled. A potion is yours: hold it, sell it, or use it on a Hood you own to add a CCFF00 piece, never a duplicate. Other collections are invited to bring their own potion traits, one roll per token id.
A 24 by 24 pixel character in the Punks and Nouns tradition, drawn by a contract on Robinhood Chain from eight traits: background, skin, hood, eyes, eyewear, mouth, hat and gear. 4,663 of them, ever.
When the mint opens, connect a wallet on Robinhood Chain on the Mint tab and buy from the curve. No allowlist, nothing to claim, no waiting. The price you see is the price you pay, plus about a cent of gas.
Every Hood sold makes the next one 0.05 percent more expensive. Ninety percent of each purchase goes into a vault, and the floor is the vault divided by the Hoods alive. Sales into the vault keep a 6 percent exit fee, so the floor can only rise.
Yes, any time, straight to the contract, for the floor minus 6 percent. No buyer needed. You can also list it on OpenSea like any NFT.
You lose about 15 percent. That is written into the contract and is the cost of the floor existing at all.
No. Unminted ids return a blank placeholder. The look is dealt the moment it is minted, from a sealed seed and a public random beacon. Nobody, including us, can know it earlier.
Our 150 are ids 0 to 149 and their traits come from the same rule as yours: a salt whose hash was published before launch, plus a drand beacon round named before launch and fixed after. We could not have chosen a salt knowing the beacon. After sell-out the salt is published and anyone can recompute every Hood.
The renderer contract holds every trait and every rectangle and draws the SVG on demand. This site serves the metadata so OpenSea and wallets can read it, and only ever calls that contract. Verified source, readable by anyone.
Yes. OpenSea indexes Robinhood Chain on its own; the collection appears once it exists, with traits and rarity.
The first event after launch. Every #CCFF00 square gets one roll at a CCFF00 potion. A potion is a token you hold, sell, or use on a Hood you own to add a CCFF00 piece, never a duplicate. The Potions tab has the full plan.
No. You can sign a message with that wallet, which moves nothing and approves nothing, and let any other wallet you name submit the roll and receive the potions. The wallet that submits pays the gas, about a cent.
No, and it never will. Nothing we build can move your tokens.
No. The curve contracts are staccpad's and are unaudited, as their site says. Our renderer is verified and tested against the reference art on every possible combination, but tested is not audited. Do not put in what you cannot lose.
A colour, a collection on Robinhood Chain, and the reason this exists. Every Hood carries it somewhere.
Soon. Follow @4663hoods. The commitment hash and the beacon round will be posted there before the first mint.
