HOODLERS: a delayed mint and an empty marketplace record

This review uses the source record dated 2026-09-06. Announcements describe that period and should not be read as current mint or participation invitations.

What is the project

HOODLERS describes a free-mint 10,000-item PFP collection on Robinhood Chain. Each item is presented as a sealed bottle containing a separate world, with nine art layers and 132 hand-drawn traits.

Its main claim concerns rewards: simply owning an item would earn ETH.

What the project says

The project puts the reward claim this way:

"HOODLERS is coming - 10,000 bottles, each one earning real $ETH just by being held. Free mint. Whitelist spots open now for GTD & FCFS."

The announced model does not describe locking as necessary. Website headings cite 80% of trading fees and a $1 minimum claim amount. No documentation explaining eligible trades, calculations or payout frequency was found.

The account first announced September 4 at "2 PM UTC", then posted about a delay. It attributed the decision to record Robinhood Chain activity, elevated gas costs and community feedback. These reasons were not independently measured.

The recorded delay post is truncated. Its visible text cannot establish whether a replacement date was given elsewhere in the full post.

NFT

The collection address is 0x078ac68b14a7bdab39052540f48d43fe2ae367e8, verified through the recorded chain from the official X bio to hoodlers.cash, then the OpenSea collection page.

The marketplace page existed but showed zero items, owners, sales and volume at observation. This is a marketplace measurement, not an independent check of all onchain mint activity.

A delay could explain the empty page, but the available truncated announcement does not establish a replacement mint date. Timing remained unresolved in the collected record.

Team and funding

No team names or funding record were found. The verified profile showed 9,539 followers and a September 2022 opening date. Account age alone does not establish the collection's age.

What to watch

• A replacement date cannot be established from the truncated delay post.
• Eligible activity and distribution mechanics for the 80% fee claim were not documented.
• The fact record has no contract address, supply or TGE date for the HOOD token mentioned in posts.
• The bio mentions activation without explaining that step in the collected sources.

Conclusion

The concrete observation is an empty marketplace page after the initially announced mint date. The ETH reward claim remains supported only by project posts and website headings, without documented calculation and payout mechanics.
