Crystal HoodRobinhood Chain · Layer 1
Steal the yield back from the vaults, give it to whoever holds the chain.
Crystal Hood is the emblem of Robinhood Chain — a proof-of-stake network where transaction fees don't pool in a treasury. They're fired straight back at the validators and stakers holding the line in Sherwood.
Three rules of the forest
01 — THE LEVY
Merry Fee Redistribution
Every transaction pays a small toll. Instead of vanishing into a treasury multisig nobody can see, it drops straight into the pockets of whoever is staking that week — proportionally, publicly, on-chain.
02 — THE BAND
Sherwood Validators
Anyone running a node with at least 4,000 $HOOD joins the Band. No permission from a foundation, no waitlist. The forest is open, and the Band votes on every levy adjustment.
03 — THE VAULT
Nottingham Vaults
Bridged assets sit in vaults named after the sheriffs they were taken from. Withdrawals are instant, audited quarterly by three independent guilds, and never touched by a single key.
The open ledger
Nothing in the treasury that isn't in the light.
Every parameter below is set by governance vote, enforced by the protocol, and visible to anyone running a full node — no multisig, no discretionary minting.
