What is a HoodFold
An automated on-chain strategy built around one tokenized stock.
A HoodFold is a vault. You deposit one asset; the HoodFold holds a defined stock + stablecoin allocation and runs a strategy on top of it. You never manage LP ranges, ticks, DEX positions, vault selection, rebalancing, reward claims or compounding — HoodFold abstracts all of it into one position.
What a HoodFold holds
- Tokenized stock
- A defined share of the position, kept for market exposure.
- Stablecoin
- The rest, working in approved lending vaults and the liquidity strategy.
- Liquidity position
- Part of the capital provides on-chain liquidity and earns trading fees.
Example — NVDA HoodFold
A user deposits USDG. The protocol creates a roughly 50% NVDA / 50% USDG allocation. The stablecoin side rests in a lending vault; the stock side uses a stock-lending vault when available; both assets feed the liquidity strategy. Trading fees and yield are harvested and compounded. The user holds hfNVDA.
A HoodFold is not the same as holding the stock. Because part of the position sits in stablecoins, lending and liquidity, its return can differ from the underlying equity token in either direction.
