Sources and methodology

Hoodchain.info organizes scattered technical, legal, corporate, and onchain information into explanations that remain readable, attributable, and open to correction.

Source hierarchy

  1. Official Robinhood Chain technical documentation.
  2. Robinhood legal terms, product disclosures, newsroom posts, and regulatory filings.
  3. Official Ethereum and Arbitrum documentation.
  4. Canonical contracts, verified explorers, and direct onchain observation.
  5. Official documentation from third-party projects.
  6. Reputable reporting and independent analysis.
  7. Social posts only as leads, never as standalone confirmation.

Contract verification

Contract names and symbols are not sufficient. Verification should match the network, full address, official publishing source, proxy implementation, administrator permissions, pause or blacklist controls, and the date checked.

Project verification

Project reviews examine the official domain, documentation, mainnet or testnet status, deployed contracts, custody model, administrative controls, upgradeability, available audits, liquidity where relevant, and recent activity.

How absence of evidence is described

“Not announced” does not mean impossible. “No verified evidence found” does not prove that an event or product cannot exist. “No official incident identified” does not prove that no incident occurred.

Dates and review metadata

datePublished records first publication. dateModified changes only after a material page change. lastVerified changes when the relevant facts are checked again. Build and deployment time must not be used as an editorial date.

Review cadence

Information Typical review
RPC, chain ID, explorer Weekly and after official changes
Token and airdrop status Frequently during active speculation
Canonical contracts After official registry updates
Architecture After upgrades or material documentation changes
Ecosystem projects Regular status review
Security alerts As events develop
Regulation After verified legislative or regulatory developments

Conflicting sources

When reliable sources conflict, Hoodchain.info identifies the disagreement, prioritizes the source closest to the underlying fact, preserves jurisdiction and date context, and avoids presenting the disputed interpretation as settled.

Structured resources

Public files such as facts.json , entities.json , sources.json , and llms.txt provide concise versions of information already explained for people on the site. They do not replace the visible pages or primary sources.
