HOW A HOODFOLD WORKS
One position.Every yield.
You choose a tokenized stock and deposit into its HoodFold. HoodFold handles the DeFi strategy: it keeps defined stock exposure, routes idle capital to lending, provides liquidity, and compounds — and shows you exactly how that compares to just holding.
THE FLOW
Deposit once. Five layers.
- 01
Deposit
Deposit USDG or another supported asset into a HoodFold. No lockups, no wrapping to hold.
- 02
Allocate
HoodFold automatically creates the tokenized-stock and stablecoin allocation the strategy requires.
- 03
Route
Idle capital is routed into approved ERC-4626 lending vaults when appropriate, earning base yield while it waits.
- 04
Provide liquidity
Part of the capital provides on-chain liquidity through the strategy and collects trading fees.
- 05
Compound
Generated yield is harvested and reinvested automatically. Your HoodFold share keeps accruing.
HOODFOLD SCORE
How suitable is this stock, right now?
HoodFold Score is a 0–100 estimate of how well a tokenized asset currently fits the HoodFold strategy. It is not an investment recommendation and it does not predict whether the stock price will rise.
89 / 100
HoodFold Score evaluates strategy conditions, not expected stock performance.Inputs may include DEX trading volume, available liquidity, borrow demand, vault quality, volatility, oracle quality and market conditions.
HOODFOLD ALPHA
Better than holding?The honest number.
HoodFold Alpha measures HoodFold performance relative to simply holding the underlying tokenized-stock benchmark. It is not guaranteed to be positive.
HoodFold Alpha = HoodFold total return − benchmark return

UNDERSTAND THE RISK
A HoodFold is notthe same as holding.
A HoodFold contains stablecoins, lending positions and liquidity positions alongside stock exposure. That introduces risks a plain tokenized-stock position does not have. None of this is risk-free, and loss of capital is possible.
- ·Smart contract risk
- ·Liquidity risk
- ·Impermanent loss
- ·Vault / lending protocol risk
- ·Oracle risk
- ·Tokenized-equity issuer risk
- ·Stock volatility
- ·Stablecoin risk
- ·Market-hours pricing risk
- ·Network risk
- ·Strategy execution risk
Risk levels shown here are illustrative. Live values will come from protocol configuration and monitoring, not fixed marketing claims.
CHOOSE YOUR HOODFOLD
Choose your HoodFold.
The HoodFold architecture supports several allocation profiles. Balanced ships first; the others are designed and will unlock as strategy tooling matures. HoodFold never promises a fixed return for any of them.
25% stock · 75% stablecoin
Lower stock exposure, lower volatility, more of the position earning stable yield.
50% stock · 50% stablecoin
Balanced market exposure and yield generation. The default HoodFold shape.
75% stock · 25% stablecoin
Higher equity exposure and higher expected volatility, with a thinner yield base.
HOODFOLD ENGINE
Liquidity that understandsmarket conditions.
The HoodFold Engine is a deterministic, rules-based strategy layer — not an "AI". It reads market state and outputs an allocation, a liquidity range, a risk mode and a rebalance schedule inside hard risk constraints.

FUTURE STRATEGY ARCHITECTURE
Liquidity that readsthe market.
HoodFold strategies can eventually react to tokenized-equity market conditions. When reference equity markets are closed or volatility risk rises, a HoodFold can reduce aggressive liquidity exposure and move capital toward safer approved vault allocations. This is roadmap architecture — not something claimed to run on-chain today.

Protected Mode
Reduce liquidity exposure during periods of elevated pricing uncertainty: widen liquidity ranges, cut active LP allocation, increase stablecoin vault allocation, slow rebalancing, and pause aggressive rebalancing when oracle deviation is too high.

Earnings Protection
Tokenized equities can gap sharply around company earnings. Future HoodFolds may automatically cut active liquidity before a major earnings event and rebuild it as price discovery stabilises. This may help reduce adverse-selection and impermanent-loss risk — it is not guaranteed protection.

VAULT SHARES
Your positionis an hfToken.
Each HoodFold issues a vault share — hfNVDA, hfSPY, hfQQQ, hfAI. Your hfToken represents your share of the underlying HoodFold strategy. Its value moves with the strategy's assets and the returns it generates.
COMPOSABILITY · FUTURE
HoodFold vault shares are designed to plug into the rest of DeFi over time — as collateral, in structured products, in portfolio vaults, and across other protocols. Leverage and borrowing are future composability possibilities, not a headline product.
PROTOCOL FEES
We only take a cutof the yield we add.
The conceptual fee model: no deposit fee, no withdrawal fee, and a performance fee charged only on yield HoodFold generates — never on the underlying stock's natural price appreciation. Production values are not configured yet.

- +$3,000

If the performance fee is 10%, it applies to the $700 of HoodFold-generated yield — not to the $3,000 the stock moved on its own.

ARCHITECTURE
Deposits and strategy,kept apart.
Users hold shares of a HoodFold vault. A separate strategy layer allocates capital between tokenized-equity exposure, approved lending vaults and on-chain liquidity, under hard risk constraints on allocation, slippage, oracle deviation and vault exposure.

UNDER THE HOOD
For theDeFi-native.
HoodFold separates user deposits from strategy execution. Users hold shares of a HoodFold vault; the strategy layer allocates capital between tokenized-equity exposure, approved lending vaults and on-chain liquidity.
A routing layer selects supported yield destinations based on availability and conditions. Risk constraints limit allocation, slippage, oracle deviation and vault exposure. Stock lending is only used where an approved, liquid borrow market exists — otherwise the stock allocation stays in the liquidity strategy or idle.
FAQ
Questions,answered plainly.
What is HoodFold?+
HoodFold is an automated yield layer for tokenized equities. You deposit into a strategy called a HoodFold, and the protocol runs the DeFi mechanics for you.
What is a HoodFold?+
A HoodFold is an automated on-chain strategy that combines tokenized-stock exposure with DeFi yield sources — stablecoin lending, on-chain liquidity fees, stock lending where available — and compounds the result.
Do I still have stock exposure?+
Yes, in part. Depending on the selected HoodFold strategy, a defined portion of the position stays exposed to the underlying tokenized equity.
Is HoodFold the same as holding the stock?+
No. A HoodFold also holds stablecoins, liquidity positions and lending positions, so its return can differ from simply holding the underlying equity token — in either direction.
What is HoodFold Alpha?+
HoodFold Alpha compares a HoodFold's total return with the return of the underlying benchmark. Positive HoodFold Alpha means the HoodFold did better than holding; negative means it did worse.
Can HoodFold Alpha be negative?+
Yes. Trading fees and lending yield may not always compensate for impermanent loss, slippage, protocol fees or other strategy costs.
Where does the yield come from?+
Potential sources are DEX trading fees, stablecoin lending, and stock lending where a supported market exists. Compounding reinvests what those sources produce.
Is stock lending always available?+
No. It depends on supported lending markets and real borrower demand. When no approved market exists, the stock allocation is used only in the liquidity strategy or left idle — HoodFold does not display stock-lending income that isn't there.
What is hfNVDA?+
hfNVDA represents your share of the NVDA HoodFold vault. Its value tracks the underlying strategy assets and the returns they generate.
Is my return guaranteed?+
No. Returns are variable and capital is exposed to multiple risks, including loss.
What is impermanent loss?+
When a HoodFold provides liquidity, the value of that position can drift below what you'd have if you simply held the two assets, because the pool rebalances against price moves. It is a real cost and it is shown in every return breakdown.
What happens when stock markets are closed?+
Tokenized assets may keep trading on-chain while traditional reference markets are closed, which can increase pricing uncertainty. Future market-aware strategies are designed to reduce aggressive liquidity exposure during those windows.
Does HoodFold issue real stocks?+
No. HoodFold works with supported tokenized-equity assets issued by third parties.
Is HoodFold a brokerage?+
No. HoodFold is on-chain infrastructure for automated strategies around tokenized-equity assets. Nothing here is investment, legal or financial advice.
