How HoodBurn works
Everything you need to know before launching a token with automated burn cycles.
What is HoodBurn?
HoodBurn is a token launchpad on Robinhood Chain. You launch a token from your own wallet, and HoodBurn takes care of the rest: every 5 minutes it claims the token's trading fees, uses them to buy the token back on Uniswap, and burns what it bought.
The result is constant, automatic buy pressure and a shrinking supply, without you ever touching a private key or signing another transaction.

Fund the fee claimer wallet
HoodBurn creates a fresh wallet just for your token: the vault. It will claim and burn for you, and it pays its own gas, so it needs a small amount of ETH first. Send at least 0.001 ETH (about $5) on Robinhood Chain to the address shown. The page checks the balance automatically and unlocks the launch button once it arrives.
Sign the launch
Your wallet signs one transaction and pays the launch fee. Your address is the deployer of the token on-chain. The vault address is baked into the launch as the fee receiver, so all trading fees flow to it from the very first trade.
Done, it runs itself
Your token gets its own page with live stats, a cycle countdown and a log of every action. The first cycle runs about 5 minutes after launch.
The burn cycle
Every 5 minutes, each token goes through the same three steps:
The vault calls the locker contract and collects all trading fees earned since the last cycle. The ETH lands in the vault.
The vault swaps its ETH for your token on Uniswap V3, keeping only a tiny gas reserve (0.0001 ETH) so it can keep operating.
Every token the vault just bought is sent to the dead address. Supply down, permanently.
If there are no fees to claim, the cycle simply waits and tries again 5 minutes later. Every step is logged and shown live on the token page, with links to the transactions on Blockscout.
Isolated vaults
Every token gets its own vault: a unique wallet generated at launch, used for nothing else. Its private key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM before it is stored, and it is only ever decrypted server-side at the moment a cycle runs.
Because vaults are one-per-token, fees can never mix. Token A's fees buy and burn token A. Always. There is no shared pool of funds anywhere in the system.
Timing and countdowns
The 5-minute interval is per token, counted from that token's last cycle, not from a global clock. A token launched at 18:03 cycles at 18:08, 18:13 and so on, while one launched at 18:05 cycles at 18:10, 18:15. That is why every token shows its own countdown.
Contracts
All contracts live on Robinhood Chain (chain id 4663).
FAQ
Do I need to sign anything after launch?
No. Your wallet signs exactly one transaction: the launch. Everything after that (claiming, buying back, burning) is signed by the token's own vault wallet on the server, automatically.
Who launches the token on-chain?
You do. The deployer of your token is your own connected wallet, not a shared HoodBurn wallet. HoodBurn only inserts the vault address as the fee receiver.
Can fees from one token be used for another token?
No. Every token has its own vault wallet with its own private key. Fees land in that vault and can only ever buy back and burn that same token.
Why does the vault need funding before launch?
The vault pays gas for its own transactions. It starts empty, so it needs a small amount of ETH to pay for its first claim. After that, every cycle leaves a small gas reserve behind, so it keeps running on its own.
What happens if there are no fees to claim?
The cycle logs "Waiting for fees" and tries again 5 minutes later. Nothing is lost; fees keep accumulating in the pool until they are claimed.
Where do burned tokens go?
To the dead address (0x...dEaD). No one holds its key, so burned tokens are permanently removed from the circulating supply.
