How she works.
Start here
What is Hoodchan?
Hoodchan is the resident agent of Robinhood Chain — a fully rigged companion who chats by text or voice, deploys smart contracts from the page, hosts Discord and Telegram bots, and installs onto your desktop with one terminal line.
- ◆Agent hub — talk to her, she acts: builds, navigates, remembers
- ◆Forge — contracts compiled in your browser, deployed to the chain live
- ◆Bot studio — Discord + Telegram bots hosted from this site, 24/7
- ◆$HOODCHAN — chart, contract and a live ETH swap on one page
- ◆Desktop companion — the full rig floating on your desk
Everything runs on-site. Nothing here is a mockup — the Forge really deploys, the bots really come online, and she really remembers you tomorrow.
Start here
Credits & holders
Every visitor gets 200 free credits in the browser. Chat costs 1, forging costs 5.
Connect a wallet (MetaMask or Phantom) holding anything on Robinhood Chain and credits go unlimited — she checks the balance over the public RPC and stops counting. No signature, no approvals, read-only.
Holding $HOODCHAN counts. The forest takes care of its own.
The agent
Chat & voice
Chat is the first tab on the agent page. Type, or press the mic and talk — she answers in text and speaks every reply aloud in her real voice, lip-synced on the rig.
She acts on what you say. Ask her to build something and it happens while she talks. Ask to change her look and she walks you to the customize tab. Ask about the chain and she just knows.
Out of the box she runs on reflexes — fast, in character, able to drive every tool. Drop an Anthropic or OpenRouter API key in the Access tab and she gets her full mind. Keys never leave your browser except to pass through to the provider.
The agent
Memory & tasks
She keeps a real memory. Tell her something worth keeping and it stays — across visits, reloads, everything.
remember that my name is Finn remind me to check the chart tomorrow what's on my ledger?
- ◆Memory — facts she keeps and factors into every reply
- ◆Ledger — tasks she tracks; tell her something's done and she checks it off
- ◆Both live in the Access tab with full manual control, including a wipe button
Everything stays in your browser. She's loyal like that.
The agent
Customization
The customize tab controls her whole look: mood, effects, what she holds, hair, outfit pieces, build, and framing. Choices stack — a mood, a prop and three outfit changes can all be live at once — and exclusive picks swap cleanly.
Everything persists. She looks the same tomorrow as you left her today.
Building
The Forge
Contracts don't just zip — they ship. The Forge compiles Solidity 0.8.24 in your browser and deploys the bytecode to Robinhood Chain through your wallet. One click, no tooling, live address and explorer link on the spot.
- ◆ERC-20 token — name, symbol, supply baked in
- ◆NFT collection — public mint, base URI, owner withdraw
- ◆Airdropper — batch-send ETH or tokens in one transaction
- ◆Vesting vault — cliff plus linear release
- ◆Website starter — live preview in a new tab
- ◆AI agent starter — a Claude-API tool loop in one file
Every blueprint also ships as a zip with identical source and a DEPLOY.md covering Remix and Foundry — if you'd rather run things yourself.
Or skip the forms: tell her "build me a token called Forest Gold" in chat and she pre-fills the Forge, forges it, and hands you the result.
Building
Bot studio
Two platforms, one studio. Pick features, watch the live preview react, then either host the bot right here or take the whole project as a zip.
- ◆Discord — slash commands, /purge moderation, /ask AI answers, welcomer, levels, /8ball, /flip, /serverinfo
- ◆Telegram — commands, /ask AI, live chain lore: /gas reads the RPC in real time
- 1.Connect a wallet — your bots save to it, up to three per platform
- 2.Grab a token: Discord developer portal → Bot → Reset Token, or message @BotFather → /newbot on Telegram
- 3.Paste it. She registers the commands and brings the bot online — status, invite link, stop/start, all on the page
Tokens stay on the server and are never sent back to the browser. Hosted bots run 24/7 on dedicated infrastructure and auto-resume after restarts.
The Discord welcomer needs the Server Members intent switched on in the developer portal → Bot tab.
The token
$HOODCHAN
The token page carries the chart, the contract address and a live ETH swap on Robinhood Chain. Until launch it shows TBA states; the moment the CA lands, the chart embed and the swap go live on the same page.
- ◆2% slippage guard on the swap
- ◆Balances and quotes straight from the chain
- ◆Holding $HOODCHAN flips your credits to unlimited
The token
Robinhood Chain
Robinhood Chain is an Arbitrum-stack Ethereum L2. Gas is paid in ETH at roughly 0.04 gwei.
Chain ID 4663 (0x1237) RPC https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com Explorer https://robinhoodchain.blockscout.com Currency ETH
Connecting a wallet anywhere on this site offers the network automatically — no manual setup.
Desktop
Install
One line in a terminal and she's on your desk. Needs Node 18+.
curl -fsSL https://hoodchan.com/install.sh | sh
irm https://hoodchan.com/install.ps1 | iex
The installer fetches the app, sets up its runtime, links a hoodchan command, and launches her. From then on, one word in any terminal — hoodchan — summons her back.
Uninstall = delete the folder (~/.hoodchan on Mac/Linux, %LOCALAPPDATA%\hoodchan on Windows). She keeps nothing anywhere else.
Desktop
Living with her
The app is the full rig in a small transparent window — physics, click reactions, and she watches your cursor across the whole desktop, not just her window.
- ◆✎ chat — type, or hit ◎ and talk; she answers out loud
- ◆≡ settings — API key for her brain, ElevenLabs key for her voice, scale
- ◆◇ ghost mode — clicks pass straight through her (Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+H)
- ◆Drag the top bar to move her; tray menu has always-on-top and quit
Give her your API key and she answers anything, drafts anything, plans anything — a full assistant in the corner of your screen.
