Token & fee model

The proposed HOODP token

HOODP is the working ticker for HoodPools. It would be used as an asset in protocol pools and as the participation token for holder and staking rewards. No token address exists for this project yet.

Supply, initial allocation, vesting, launch timing, governance rights and final token terms have not been selected. The demo intentionally avoids presenting invented supply figures or a fabricated contract address.

What “2% + 1%” means

The intended creator allocation is three percentage points of eligible trading volume: two percentage points for liquidity and one for the team. Once creator fees are collected, that is a two-thirds / one-third split of the received amount. It is not a 2% slice and a 1% slice of the fee itself.

The trader-facing fee can be 3.35%

If degen.zone is the intended launchpad, its current fee documentation adds 0.35 percentage points to the chosen creator rate. A 3% creator rate therefore costs traders 3.35%, before gas and price impact. The original degenland.zone domain could not be reached; the relationship between the two domains is unconfirmed.

A strict 3% all-in trading fee cannot simultaneously leave exactly 2% for liquidity, 1% for the team, and an additional platform charge. That would require changing the venue arrangement or economics.

Graduation changes the revenue source

The documented default V3 path switches to the creator’s share of ordinary LP fees. The opt-in V4 path preserves the creator-set fee on its own venue, but that launch pool does not pay ordinary LP fees to liquidity providers.

Community deposits in HoodPools are proposed for separate, fee-earning secondary pools. They are not presented as deposits into the launchpad’s locked, zero-LP-fee V4 position.

A venue fee is not a universal transfer tax

A fee hook attached to one pool does not automatically charge every HOODP trade or transfer. Cheaper secondary routes may reduce the volume using the creator-fee venue. This is a material funding assumption, not a detail that a website can solve.

Putting a tax directly inside token transfers is a different architecture with compatibility implications. A standard ERC-20 plus explicitly documented venue fees is the current proposal, subject to contract review.

Revenue is not a promised yield

The proposed reward source is collected LP revenue, not an invented fixed APR. More volume can generate more fees, but inventory losses, thin liquidity and execution costs can offset those earnings. Neither the 3% fee nor the existence of pools guarantees profit.
