How HOIST works.

What is HOIST?

HOIST is a tower that adds a floor every time the market earns one. Real trading on $HOIST is the protocol's clock — no keepers, no schedule. When sustained buy pressure clears a floor, the voxel tower grows one storey on screen, live.

The engine is a swap-as-clock design: organic swaps advance the protocol and supply issuance only grows when the market earns it. HOIST keeps that mechanic and renders it as something you can actually watch — a building rising in real time, not a log line on a dashboard.

• ›The climb is a live 3D tower, not a spreadsheet — you watch it add a floor
• ›One-tap RIDE — the gate machinery runs invisibly underneath
• ›Every cleared floor is a shareable moment, built to post
• ›Crews and a season penthouse race — the climb has rivals, not just a solo grind
• ›Endless tower — the building keeps its floors forever, visually alive even between waves

How it works

HOIST separates the token from the game. $HOIST trades on-chain like any fair-launch token — fixed supply, locked liquidity, nothing exotic. The floor engine, the tower, and mining all run in the app, where the climb can be drawn instead of buried in a contract.

The flow

• ›Organic buys — real trades on the chain's DEX are the protocol clock, no keepers, no schedule
• ›Volume clears a floor — sustained net buy pressure passes the gates: price held, positive flow, dwell time elapsed
• ›Tower grows a storey — the voxel tower adds exactly one floor on screen, live, the instant it clears
• ›Miners settle — the floor reward splits automatically; no claim button needed

⚠ Floor state is derived only from real on-chain volume, never from client input — a rider cannot force the tower up. The volume oracle filters obvious wash trading before it counts toward a clear.

Clearing a floor

Each floor sits +18.13% above the one below it. Steep by design — floors are rare, and clearing one feels big.

• ›Floors never replay — once a floor clears, a dip and recovery through it pays nothing again. Rewards live only at the frontier.
• ›The high-water floor never decreases, even if price falls. The building does not lose storeys — it just stops growing.
• ›Endless tower — there is no cap on height. Season standings reset every 14 days; the building keeps its floors forever.

Curve mining

Mining is a prediction on the tower's own climb. You choose a destination floor above the current frontier, commit weight toward it, and collect when the building arrives.

• ›Choose a floor — pick a destination 1 to 64 floors ahead of the current frontier. Farther ahead means a higher multiplier and higher risk.
• ›Build weight — commit COIN to that floor. Weight matures over time, 15 minutes to 4 hours to full strength.
• ›Follow the curve — the tower climbs toward your floor on real trading volume; watch the frontier close in.
• ›Earn on ascent — when the tower reaches your floor, collect your share of the miner pool by weight.

⚠ Risk is real: if the tower stalls below your floor and the run abandons, your committed weight expires. That risk is why the reward is real, not a guaranteed payout.

Floor rewards

Every cleared floor authorizes a fixed reward pool in $HOIST. It splits three ways the instant the floor clears — no discretion, no manual distribution.

Fees & treasury

A 1% trading fee applies to every $HOIST swap on the chain's DEX. 90% of that fee routes to the project treasury; the launchpad keeps 10% to the protocol.

Treasury allocation

Where the mining prize pool comes from

• ›Trading fee — 90% of the 1% swap fee flows to treasury, 50% of which fuels the reward pool
• ›COIN-purchase rake — a 10% rake on every COIN purchase seeds the reward pool directly, giving it a baseline that survives a volume dip

⚠ Treasury and floor-reward wallet addresses are published. Live balances are shown in-app and link to the chain explorer.

Token utility ($HOIST)

$HOIST never buys odds or power. Its utility is discount, reward denomination, and access — a fair-game brand, not pay-to-win.

Why hold $HOIST

• ›Buy COIN (the in-app mining credit) at a discount using $HOIST
• ›Floor rewards from mining are paid out in $HOIST
• ›Holder tiers unlock access and prestige cosmetics — never odds or payout multipliers
• ›20% of trading fees fund an ongoing $HOIST buyback + burn, a supply sink

Seasons & crews

The tower is endless — it keeps every floor it clears, forever. Season standings are a separate layer on top: every 14 days the leaderboard resets and crews race for the penthouse.

• ›Crews pool their members' mining weight, clearing contested floors faster and splitting rewards among the group
• ›A crew skyline board tracks floors cleared this season — the standings answer who is winning, in real time
• ›Individual riders also rank by floors reached and $HOIST earned this season
• ›Prestige cosmetics from past seasons stay on your tower nameplate even after standings reset

FAQ

Is this the same as other staircase-style protocols?

No — we did not clone anything. We're building in the same category (organic swaps as a protocol clock, supply that grows only when the market earns it) but the floor engine, the tower renderer, curve mining, crews, and the season race are HOIST's own implementation, built for this chain.

Do I need a wallet to watch the tower?

No. The tower is public and live for anyone — no signup, no wallet connection required to watch it rise or follow the leaderboard.

How are rewards paid out?

In $HOIST. Rewards accrue off-chain for speed and zero gas cost while you mine, then settle on-chain to your wallet at withdraw, with zero withdrawal fee.

What chain does HOIST run on?

Robinhood Chain, an EVM-compatible chain. $HOIST is an ERC-20-style token traded on the chain's native DEX through the launchpad's locked liquidity position.

Can the tower ever go backward?

No. The high-water floor never decreases. If volume slows, the tower simply pauses — it never loses a floor it already cleared.

What happens if I mine a floor that never arrives?

If the tower stalls below your destination floor and that run abandons, your committed mining weight expires. Mining is a real prediction with real risk, not a guaranteed payout.
