Getting started
Introduction
HoodPerp is a self-custodial interface for trading perpetual futures on Robinhood Chain — margined by the tokenized stocks you already hold. No selling, no idle capital, no protocol custody of your funds.
Robinhood Chain lets users hold tokenized stocks and ETFs on-chain. HoodPerp turns those holdings into productive collateral: convert a stock token into USDG margin in a single transaction, then trade perpetual futures on a deep, always-on order book. Spot swaps route through Uniswap v4; perpetuals settle on Lighter's ZK order book.
Non-custodial by design
HoodPerp never holds your funds. Swaps execute on-chain from your own wallet, and perp trading uses a delegated key you approve once — the protocol can place orders on the venue, but withdrawals always return to you.
Why HoodPerp#
- Keep your exposure, unlock buying power. Your stock tokens become margin without you having to liquidate a long-term position.
- Trade around the clock. Perp markets stay open nights, weekends, and holidays — no market close.
- Transparent settlement. Margin and positions live on-chain; pricing is oracle-driven.
- Fees that compound back to the community. Protocol fees recycle into an automatic $HPERP buyback.
