Creator fee routing
This is the feature Hoodl is built around. Most launchpads let a creator send fees to one wallet. Hoodl lets you split a token’s fees across up to two recipients, address them by X handle, and tag people who haven’t joined yet — their share waits in escrow until they claim it.
How a split works
Section titled “How a split works”At launch you set the 70% creator pool (see Fees) as up to two recipients:
- Each recipient is an X handle or a wallet address.
- Each gets a percentage, and the percentages sum to 100% of the creator pool.
- A recipient’s share accrues continuously as the token trades, paid in the quote asset (ETH/USDG).
Examples
Section titled “Examples”- Solo: you → 100%. All creator fees go to your wallet.
- Collab: you → 50%, a collaborator’s wallet → 50%.
- Shout-out: you → 70%,
@someCreator(X handle) → 30%. If that handle hasn’t joined Hoodl, their 30% accrues to escrow until they claim it. - Tribute: you → 0%,
@someCreator→ 100%. Launch a token for someone and route the entire creator pool to them.
The identity problem
Section titled “The identity problem”Binding an X handle to a payout wallet can’t be done trustlessly — there’s no on-chain oracle for “who owns @handle.” Every production system that does this (across the industry) relies on a centralized sign-in to verify control of the account. Hoodl is transparent about the trade-off:
- Verification uses Privy’s “Sign in with X” — the standard OAuth flow. Hoodl does not use a paid X API.
- On-chain, the split contract only ever knows addresses. After you prove control of the handle, a
protocol linker writes the handle → wallet binding on-chain (the escrow’s
linkHandle) — the single, auditable trust point. From then on the wallet can claim, and future fees for that handle credit it directly. - Until a handle is linked, its share sits in escrow keyed to the handle — safe, and claimable later.
- If someone changes their X handle or a link is made in error, a protocol multisig has narrow dispute tools to correct it; the blast radius is limited to future deposits and still-escrowed balances.
How it compares
Section titled “How it compares”| Typical launchpad | Hoodl | |
|---|---|---|
| Recipients | One wallet | Up to two, split by basis points |
| Address by X handle | No | Yes |
| Tag someone with no wallet yet | No | Yes — escrow keyed to the handle |
| ”Launch for someone else” | No | Yes |
The on-chain splitting idea is well-trodden (social fee-sharing has precedents on other chains). Hoodl’s contribution is making multi-recipient, X-addressable routing with escrow the centerpiece on an EVM launchpad — something typical launchpads don’t offer.
Limits today
Section titled “Limits today”The recipient cap is two in the first version. The underlying contract is written to support more recipients (the cap is a configurable maximum), so it can be raised later without a redesign.
