Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about listings, scoring, Boosts, and how HoodScan ranks Robinhood Chain repos.

Question

What is HoodScan?

HoodScan is a leaderboard of open-source projects built for Robinhood Chain. We scan GitHub for repos that interact with the chain and its ecosystem, score their momentum, and rank the top 50.

Question

How do repos get listed?

Repos reach the leaderboard two ways:

  • Scanner → we index Robinhood Chain repos on GitHub
  • Submit → paste a public GitHub repo URL

We verify the repo is real and related to Robinhood Chain, then list it.

Question

What if a repo is already listed?

We detect duplicates and point you to the existing entry. One canonical page per repository.

Question

How is a repo scored?

Every listed repo gets a momentum score.

From GitHub:

Stars, commits, recent activity

From HoodScan:

Community Boosts, one per repo per day

Question

What does Boosting a repo do?

A Boost is a +1 signal:

  • One Boost per repo per day
  • No wallet required
  • Adds to the momentum score
  • Helps repos you believe in climb the top 50

Question

Can I Boost more than once?

One Boost per repo per day. Come back tomorrow to back the same repo again.

Question

Where does the data come from?

For repositories:

Data is pulled directly from the GitHub API and continuously synced.

For rankings:

Ranks combine GitHub momentum with Boosts recorded on HoodScan.

Question

How often is data updated?

  • GitHub repo data refreshes every few minutes
  • Leaderboard positions update in real time as Boosts land

Question

How does a repo climb the ranks?

To climb:

  • Collect community Boosts on HoodScan
  • Ship commits. Activity feeds the score
  • Earn stars from real users on GitHub
  • Keep shipping. Stale repos drift down

Question

Who is HoodScan for?

HoodScan is built for:

  • Builders shipping on Robinhood Chain
  • Traders running bots and DeFi tools
  • Early adopters tracking the ecosystem

Question

Can I Boost my own repo?

Yes. Boost your own repo or anyone else's. Each Boost adds one community signal, one per repo per day, no wallet required.
