THE CIRCUIT
RULEBOOK.

What is Hood Circuit?

Hood Circuit is a one-tap daily skill arena designed for Robinhood Chain. Players fire pins into a rotating core, advance through increasingly dense levels and compete for the best verified score of each published 24-hour round.

One attempt continues across levels.

• Tap, click, Space or Arrow Up fires one pin.
• A pin is safe only if it does not collide with an existing pin.
• Completing the target advances the same run to the next level.
• Score, total pins and combo persist between levels.
• The first collision ends the entire attempt.

Level targets are 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 successful pins. Level 6 and above require 30 pins per clear.

Accuracy, speed and survival.

For every successful pin, ranked scoring awards (100 + rotation speed bonus) × combo multiplier. Every five total pins increases the combo by 0.2×, capped at 3×. A level clear adds level × 250.

The verifier constants are versioned and fixed for paid play. A round never changes its scoring rules after accepting its first entry.

A clean board every 24 hours.

Every round publishes exact UTC opening and closing timestamps and lasts 24 hours. Paid attempts started before the deadline receive a short completion window; no new attempt can start after the lock. Ties resolve in favor of the score that completed verification first.

After settlement, the round identifier, final podium, results commitment and settlement transaction remain available in Round History even after the live board advances. Practice scores remain only on the player's device; they never enter the ranked table and cannot win a payout.

Fixed distribution, visible destinations.

The total round value includes player entries, committed sponsor funds and rollover inherited from the prior round. Ranked play uses a $1 USDG entry. $HCIR entry remains disabled until the PONS V2 launch graduates, liquidity is sufficient and a manipulation-resistant time-weighted price route is published.

$HCIR launches through PONS V2.

The creator tax is market-trading revenue, not a deduction from game prizes. It is intended for the disclosed creator fee recipient and is fixed when the token launches. The exact PONS base fee, enabled launch configuration, approved USDG pair and complete transaction economics must be read from the live factory immediately before launch.

$HCIR does not represent equity, ownership, a deposit, a right to project revenue or a promise of profit. The token address—not its copyable name or symbol—is the authoritative identifier.

A leaderboard needs stronger proof than a browser score.

• Each paid entry emits a unique attempt identifier on the configured Robinhood Chain network.
• The server verifies that entry, then binds it to one random seed and one expiring challenge.
• The current browser checkpoints paid, active and completed attempts so a reload does not immediately discard them.
• The paying wallet signs the completed result and a cryptographic commitment to every accepted input, domain-separated by the active chain ID and vault address.
• The V3 service replays those inputs under fixed-step deterministic rules and publishes only an exact score match.
• Duplicate attempts, impossible timing, reordered inputs and traces that do not end in a collision are rejected.
• Wallet and privacy-preserving network limits reduce verification spam; raw network addresses are not stored.
• High-confidence machine-perfect firing cadence is rejected as a basic automation signal.
• The top three and a chain-specific deterministic results hash are prepared for on-chain settlement.

The server challenge and one-use status remain authoritative; the browser checkpoint is only a same-device recovery aid. Replay and conservative automation checks materially strengthen the board, but they do not make browser play cheat-proof. Monitoring, adversarial testing and independent review remain ongoing security work.

Every paid round opens with an on-chain owner transaction.

1. The V3 USDG vault fixes the 1 USDG entry and 80 / 10 / 10 allocation.
2. Scoring, replay verification, tie policy and outage handling are fixed for the active version.
3. The effective Terms, Privacy Notice and global access policy are published.
4. The exact versioned Terms hash is committed to the vault.
5. The owner creates each 24-hour round and the site activates it from the verified on-chain event.
