Pre-trade safety scanner for Robinhood Chain — checks a swap before you sign it.

Hood Trade

Pre-trade safety scanner for Robinhood Chain

Point it at a swap you're about to sign — get a GO / CAUTION / NO-GO verdict with on-chain evidence.

Read-only. Never signs. Never holds funds. Never trades. It inspects — you decide.

The Problem

Robinhood Chain launched July 2026 as a permissionless Arbitrum-Orbit L2. Permissionless + brand new = risk:

Risk	Why it matters
Unverified tokens	Anyone can deploy; the token you're buying may be hours old
Rug pulls	Uniswap liquidity can be removed — the pool can be drained
Honeypots	Token lets you buy but blocks sells via a reverting transfer()
Stock token debt	Tokenized equities are debt instruments, not shares — counterparty risk
Residual MEV	FCFS sequencing blunts sandwiching, but latency races and oracle timing remain

Hood Trade turns these into a 21-check battery that runs in seconds before you sign.

Key design: the verdict is deterministic — any DANGER → NO-GO, score thresholds for CAUTION/NO-GO. Claude only explains findings; it never overrides the gate. No API key? Template fallback. Fully offline.

Proceed carefully — the scanner found notable risks.

Key risks
  • Token has an active owner: An owner address can pause transfers…
  • Trade size: large (>= $100k): split or route via an aggregator…
  • AAPL may be a tokenized equity (debt instrument)

Verify yourself
  → Confirm the token and pool addresses against the official source.
  → Check the pool's real depth for your size on the DEX UI.
  → Set a tight slippage limit; split large orders.

Honeypot detection (NO-GO)

High-risk trade — the scanner flagged blocking issues.

Key risks
  • Honeypot risk — transfer() reverts
  • Token self-holds 65% of supply

Configuration

All settings via env vars (prefix HOODTRADE_) or .env — see .env.example.

Variable	Default	Description
HOODTRADE_RPC_URL	(required)	JSON-RPC endpoint for Robinhood Chain
HOODTRADE_CHAIN_ID	(unset)	Pin expected chain id for RPC verification
HOODTRADE_CAUTION_SCORE	25	Score threshold for CAUTION
HOODTRADE_NOGO_SCORE	60	Score threshold for NO-GO
HOODTRADE_LIQ_DANGER_BELOW	5000	Liquidity (USD) below which a book is "very thin"
HOODTRADE_LIQ_WARN_BELOW	25000	Liquidity (USD) below which a book is "low"
HOODTRADE_BLOCK_ON_THIN_LIQUIDITY	true	Thin liquidity is NO-GO (false → CAUTION)
HOODTRADE_BLOCK_ON_HIGH_IMPACT	true	Oversized trade is NO-GO (false → CAUTION)
HOODTRADE_AI_ENABLED	true	Enable Claude risk summaries
HOODTRADE_AI_MODEL	claude-opus-4-8	Model for AI summaries
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY	(unset)	Required only when AI is enabled

New-chain leniency

A freshly-launched chain legitimately has thin books and little trading history, so flagging every low-liquidity token as NO-GO is noise. For young chains (Robinhood Chain by default) the scanner relaxes only the market-maturity signals — thin liquidity, low volume and trade-size impact become CAUTION instead of a hard block. Security signals are never relaxed: a honeypot, hidden transfer fee, mint capability or owner permission still forces NO-GO on any chain.

• hoodtrade scan 0x… --strict — full strictness even on a new chain
• hoodtrade scan 0x… --lenient — apply new-chain leniency on any chain

Use it from an AI agent (MCP)

Hood Trade ships an MCP server, so any MCP-compatible agent — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Windsurf, or your own agent built on the OpenAI/Anthropic SDKs — can scan tokens directly. The agent gets the same verdict the CLI produces, new-chain leniency included.

Tools exposed: scan_token (GO / CAUTION / NO-GO with evidence), check_rpc, list_chains. Read-only — it never signs, holds funds or trades.

Install:

pip install "hoodtrade[mcp]"      # then the command `hoodtrade-mcp` is available
# or run with no install:
uvx --from "hoodtrade[mcp]" hoodtrade-mcp

Add it to your agent's MCP config (Claude Desktop claude_desktop_config.json, Cursor ~/.cursor/mcp.json, etc.) — the shape is the same everywhere:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hoodtrade": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "hoodtrade[mcp]", "hoodtrade-mcp"]
    }
  }
}

If you installed with pip, you can point straight at the command instead:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "hoodtrade": { "command": "hoodtrade-mcp" }
  }
}

Then just ask your agent: "scan 0x87E1…636B on Robinhood Chain before I buy" — it calls scan_token and reports back the verdict.

Roadmap

• Tick-by-tick depth simulation (Uniswap V3 tick math)
• Live USD/equity price oracles for divergence measurement
• Holder-concentration via indexer (Blockscout / Dune)
• Bytecode pattern analysis (proxy detection, exploit signatures)
• Multi-venue routing comparison (Uniswap vs Pleiades vs 0x)
• Telegram / Discord bot interface
• Watch mode — continuous token monitoring

Hood Trade is not financial advice. A green verdict means "no automated red flags" — not "safe."
