# About HOODLOOT

## Rob the block. Share the wealth.

HoodLoot is an onchain heist on **Robinhood Chain**. Every block drops fresh **$SHARE** — your band of outlaws is there to take it.

![The band of Sherwood](/files/OWhF3g9tyRzEudTi2Onp)

You recruit the Merry Men, deploy them in your hideout deep in Sherwood, and they loot the chain around the clock — roughly ten blocks a second, whether you're watching or not. You claim the take whenever you want.

No hardware. No hashing. No noise. Just **Loot Rate**, blocks, and a fixed **21,000,000 $SHARE** — 95% mined through play, 5% minted once at genesis to seed a locked liquidity pool. No presale. No VC. No team salary reserve.

***

## How it works

**1. Claim a hideout.** Everyone starts in the Forest Hollow. Your first outlaw comes free.

**2. Recruit outlaws.** Spend $SHARE to add Merry Men to your band. **75% of every spend is burned** — *given to the poor* — so the loot only gets scarcer as the band grows.

**3. Deploy them to mine.** Staked outlaws loot every block. Recruiting mints an outlaw to your wallet; deploying stakes it onto a hideout tile — only deployed outlaws earn.

**4. Climb.** From a barefoot peasant with a bad bow to Robin Hood himself with a golden arrow. Upgrade your hideout for room to grow. *(Legend ranks — a permanent multiplier for prestiging your run — are coming soon.)*

## Why it holds up

* **Fixed 21M supply.** Hardcoded. No lever mints more — `mint` itself is capped.
* **95% player-mined.** The only allocation is a disclosed 5% genesis mint that seeds a locked liquidity pool. No presale, no VC, no insider bags.
* **Deflationary by design.** 75% of everything spent is burned.
* **Credibly un-ruggable.** Emission and every price are immutable. The only owner control is an emergency pause — it can't change a number, mint, or touch your funds, and you can always pull your outlaws back to your wallet.

## Why Robinhood Chain

The pun is the thesis. **$SHARE** is both a *share* and *sharing the wealth* — and Robinhood Chain is the natural home for it: an EVM Layer-2 with ETH gas, \~100ms blocks, and Uniswap + Chainlink from day one. Fast blocks make the per-block loot loop feel arcade-instant; full EVM compatibility means any standard wallet just works.

HoodLoot is a game. $SHARE is an in-game token with no promise of value or return. Play for the loot, not the ladder. Nothing here is financial advice. See the [Disclaimer](/reference/disclaimer.md).
