FAQ

How HoodGrow stock-token data works on Robinhood Chain — prices (Chainlink preferred, Robinhood registry fallback), corporate-action adjusted supply, pending actions, trading volume, and freshness. For term-by-term definitions, see Concepts. Not investment advice.

What is a stock token on Robinhood Chain?

A stock token is an on-chain representation of a listed equity (for example NVDA or AAPL) issued and traded on Robinhood Chain (chain ID 4663). HoodGrow tracks the token contract, price, supply, and corporate-action state so you can inspect the same facts the chain exposes — not a brokerage portfolio statement.

Where do prices come from?

HoodGrow uses a two-step price path for each token:

  1. Chainlink (preferred) — USD from the token's Chainlink price feed when we can resolve and read it.
  2. Robinhood registry (fallback) — if Chainlink is unavailable for that token, we use the official Robinhood RHJ / registry price.

Every price is shown with a source label. We do not invent prices from third-party sites. If neither source works, the price stays empty rather than guessed.

What does the price source badge mean?
  • Chainlink — primary path: feed-based stock-token USD.
  • Robinhood registry — secondary path when Chainlink cannot supply a price for that token.
Why can a Chainlink price look stuck on weekends?

When the source is Chainlink, US equity-linked feeds generally follow NYSE/Nasdaq regular hours (Mon–Fri 9:30am–4:00pm America/New_York). Outside the session — nights, weekends, and many holidays — the feed often does not publish new ticks. A Friday close carried through Sunday is expected, not necessarily a broken feed. When the source is Robinhood registry, updates follow Robinhood's price endpoint. Always use the source label and snapshot time together.

What is 24h change? Why is it sometimes 0%?

24h change is the percent move over roughly the last day from our stored price history. A real 0.0% means the recorded price did not move (common when markets are closed). That is different from missing data, which we leave unavailable when we cannot compute a change.

What is corporate-action adjusted supply?

Raw total supply is what the contract reports via standard supply reads. Corporate-action adjusted supply applies the on-chain UI multiplier (ERC-8056-style) so the figure reflects effective economic supply after splits, dividends, and similar events.

HoodGrow prefers the adjusted figure when available and labels whether supply is corporate-action adjusted. A wallet that only reads totalSupply() can show a stale economic number after a real corporate action.

What is a corporate action on these tokens?

A corporate action (split, reverse split, certain distributions, and similar) can change how units map to economic exposure. On Robinhood Chain stock tokens this is reflected through on-chain multiplier state, not only off-chain announcements. HoodGrow surfaces current vs staged multiplier, effective time, and a readable change label when we can derive one.

What does “pending corporate action” mean?

Pending means a future multiplier is already visible on-chain but not yet live. You should see the symbol, current vs staged values, and effective time. If nothing is pending, the correct answer is an empty list — not a guess. Most of the time nothing is staged; that is normal.

What does oracle paused / pricing paused mean?

During some corporate-action settlements, pricing can be frozen or paused on-chain so the held price stays stable while the action settles. A flat price can be intentional. When the pause clears, updates resume according to the feed and market hours.

Are contract addresses verified?

Addresses shown for catalog tokens are the canonical contracts we index for Robinhood Chain, from our registry / catalog pipeline — not random web results. Always double-check on a block explorer before sending funds. HoodGrow is a data product and does not custody assets.

How fresh is the data?

Public pages and the machine API are served primarily from server-side snapshots (periodic jobs), not a full RPC round-trip on every view. Always read values with their timestamp. “Live” means recently snapshotted from chain and feeds — not recomputed on every click.

Why doesn't HoodGrow always match Robinhood's app?

HoodGrow displays on-chain stock token data and associated price feeds. The Robinhood app may show brokerage account values, different update timing, or additional off-chain information. During market closures and corporate actions, temporary differences can occur.

Does HoodGrow execute trades or hold funds?

No. HoodGrow displays data. We do not take custody of your assets. Always review transactions in your wallet before signing. Nothing here is investment advice.

How is 24h trading volume calculated?

24h volume is the USD value of swaps in a token's Uniswap V3 pools over the last day. We index each pool's on-chain Swap events and value every swap by its USDG leg (USDG ≈ $1), so it is real traded USD — not an estimate. It's shown per pool, so you can see where the flow is, and as a total. A pool with no indexed volume yet reads null, not 0. See Concepts.

Do the OHLC candles include volume?

Yes. Each candle (1h, 4h, or 1d) carries open/high/low/close plus volumeUsd and swapCount — true OHLCV — via the API's /ohlc endpoint. Volume is null for buckets older than the indexer's backfill window.

What do TVL and lending APY on a token page mean?

TVL (total value locked) is the USD value of assets in a token's Uniswap V3 pools — roughly, how deep the market is. Lending APY is the annualized yield for supplying the token to a Morpho Blue market, read live from Morpho. APY is variable and is not promised or paid by HoodGrow; it is null when the token isn't a loan asset in any known market.

Can I access this data programmatically?

Yes. HoodGrow has a machine API — catalog, per-token data, DeFi, holders, slippage, and OHLC. Call it for free with an API key, or pay per call with no account via x402 (USDC on Base). Official TypeScript and Python SDKs are available. See the API documentation for endpoints, pricing, and examples.

Is HoodGrow affiliated with Robinhood?

No. HoodGrow is an independent data product that reads publicly available on-chain data from Robinhood Chain and associated price feeds. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by Robinhood Markets. Company and product names are used for identification only.
