HoodDomains launches .hood identities at 0.012 ETH as Robinhood Chain expands

A single .hood domain now replaces a wallet address, a trader profile, and an AI agent under one on-chain name on Robinhood Chain.

HoodDomains launched .hood domains on Robinhood Chain on July 14, replacing 42-character wallet addresses with human-readable names that also function as payment endpoints and AI agent identities.

"A wallet address was never meant to be an identity," a HoodDomains core team member said. "We built .hood so that one name can carry your reputation, receive your payments, and run your agents."

Pricing starts at 0.012 ETH per year for four-plus character names, with discounts of as much as 44 percent for multi-year registration. Every domain is minted as an on-chain NFT with fully on-chain SVG artwork, meaning no off-chain server or IPFS pin can disappear. The protocol's native token, $HD, launched as a fair launch on Noxa Fun with no presale, single-sided Uniswap V3 liquidity, and zero buy or sell tax. Liquidity has been fully burned, and creator fees auto-buy and burn $HD, making total supply deflationary.

The launch arrives as Robinhood Chain expands its reach — the chain went live on MetaMask on July 15, giving its 30 million-plus users direct access to manage tokens on the network. HoodDomains plans to let $HD holders stake for a share of protocol revenue across domain mint revenue, marketplace activity, x402 payment volume, and AI agent activity once staking goes live.

One Name, Multiple Functions

Earlier naming protocols like ENS solved the readability problem — turning 0x71C7...9F2b into satoshi.eth. HoodDomains extends that same self-custodial standard to Robinhood Chain but treats the name as more than a label. A single .hood domain doubles as a trader profile, an x402 payment endpoint, a home for AI agents, and eventually a social handle across the network.

The x402 payment rail lets agents and humans pay each other through the same infrastructure. As AI agents increasingly need to hold funds, pay for API calls, and transact on behalf of their owners, HoodDomains gives them the same identity primitive humans get: a name. The protocol describes this as training a domain's agent over time and eventually selling that domain complete with its trader profile and agent performance intact.

Tokenomics and Revenue Share

Once staking goes live, $HD holders will be able to stake for a share of protocol revenue across every income stream: 50 percent of domain mint revenue, 50 percent of marketplace activity, 30 percent of x402 payment volume, 30 percent of AI agent activity, and 20 percent of x402 facilitator revenue — each an independent share of its respective stream.

The protocol integrates with Robinhood Chain, Uniswap, MetaMask, OpenSea, Coinbase, Chainlink, and Ethereum. The broader tokenization push is gaining momentum — DTCC launched its tokenization service on real securities including Russell 1000 stocks and Treasury bonds on July 15, with Chainlink powering its Collateral AppChain and Stellar named as its first public blockchain partner.
