How to Play

Hoodlings: A Night-Forest Yield Camp

What is Hoodlings?

Hoodlings is an on-chain idle game where you hire pixel miners (called Hoodlings) that gather gold every second. Compound your gold into new miners to grow exponentially, or cash out your earnings to ETH. The game runs on Robinhood Chain and is entirely driven by smart-contract rules.

Fair warning: This is a ponzi-style game. Miners are bought with ETH via a bonding curve and cannot be withdrawn as principal. Play only with funds you can afford to lose.

Getting Started

1. Set Up Your Wallet

  • Connect a Web3 wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, AppKit)
  • Switch to Robinhood Chain (Chain ID: 4663)
  • Ensure you have ETH on Robinhood Chain to play
⛵ Bridge ETH to Robinhood Chain

2. Fund Your Camp

Click Fund and send ETH. Your ETH is converted to miners on a bonding curve (prices rise as more people buy).

3. Set a Referrer (Optional)

When you fund or compound, you can set a referrer address. They’ll earn 12.5% of your compounded yield as a bonus. Share your camp link via ?ref=YOUR_ADDRESS to get recruits.

The Four Core Actions

⛏ Fund
Send ETH to buy miners. The amount you send is converted to yield (miners) via a bonding curve. Higher buys = higher price. You immediately start gathering gold at 1 gold per miner per second (capped at 24h).
⚡ Compound (Restake)
Convert your accrued gold into new miners. This is the core growth mechanic. Compounding regularly unlocks bonuses: streak multipliers, festival bonuses, and a cut of the leak pool. You reset your gold balance but keep your miners.
💰 Cash Out (Claim)
Sell your accrued gold back to ETH via the bonding curve. Prices vary based on the curve state: early cashing favors buybacks, late cashing favors sellers.
🐎 Raid the Caravan
Once per 6-hour window, the first active player to raid the caravan wins a bonus: 25% of the leak pool. You must have miners and have restaked within the last 24h to be eligible.

Growing Your Bonus

Restake Streak (+5% per day, max +50%)

Compound every 18–48 hours to build a streak. Each day adds 5% bonus miners to your restake, stacking up to +50%. Miss a day and the streak resets.

Festival Bonus (+25%)

Every 25th new deposit in the game triggers a 1-hour festival. During a festival, all restakers earn +25% bonus miners. Check the event strip to see if a festival is active.

Combined

Your bonus multipliers stack. A 10-day streak (+50%) during a festival (+25%) gives +75% bonus miners on that restake.

The Caravan & The Leak

Dormancy Penalty

If you don’t restake for 2 days, your accrued gold starts to "leak" into a shared pool (10% of your yield per restake). Idle players naturally subsidize active ones.

Active Skim

When you restake within 24 hours, you skim 10% of the leak pool (capped at the yield you’re restaking). The longer the drought, the bigger the bounty for active players.

Caravan Raid

Every 6 hours, a new caravan "window" opens. The first eligible active player to raid it wins 25% of the leak pool as a bonus. You must have miners and have restaked in the last 24h.

Your Band (Referrals)

Your referral band shows your recruits and sub-recruits. Each person you refer earns you 12.5% of their compounded yield as a passive bonus. The deeper your band, the more yield flows back to you.

  • Click Band to see your referral tree
  • Share your camp link: hoodlings.fun?ref=YOUR_ADDRESS
  • Each recruit adds 12.5% of their restaked gold to your claimed yield

Economics

  • Referral bonus: 12.5% of your restaked yield flows to your referrer
  • Bonding curve: Prices adjust with supply/demand via PSN parameters
  • Market sink: 20% of your restaked yield enters the market pool for bonding curve support

Key rule: All deposits convert irreversibly to miners. You cannot withdraw your principal as ETH. Only your accrued gold can be cashed out.
