Introduction

HYDD is a token on Robinhood Chain with a private side. Shield HYDD into the vault, receive payments on one-time stealth addresses, and earn from every trade.


Overview

On most blockchains anyone can look up an address and see what it holds and every payment it ever received. HYDD is an ordinary ERC-20 on Robinhood Chain, launched on the Pons launchpad: anyone can hold, send and trade it like any other token. The HYDD vault is its private side. When you shield HYDD, it becomes vault shares credited to an address only you control. Payments to you land on stealth addresses — fresh addresses derived for every payment that nobody but you can link back to your wallet.

What HYDD hides and what it does not. Stealth addresses hide who receives a payment: every payment lands on a fresh one-time address that cannot be linked to the recipient's wallet. The sender's address and the amount of each shield or unshield stay visible on-chain. HYDD does not use zero-knowledge proofs.

What makes it different

Unlinkable receiving

Every payment goes to a new stealth address (ERC-5564). Observers see a payment to an address that has never appeared before.

Trades like any token

HYDD trades on its Pons bonding curve, then on a Uniswap v4 pool. Wallets, explorers and aggregators work unchanged.

Holding in the vault pays

Trading fees are harvested into HYDD and donated to the vault, so every share is worth a little more over time.

One signature, no seed

Your privacy keys come from one wallet signature. No extra seed phrase, nothing to back up.

How it fits together

  • The token is a plain Pons ERC-20 with a 2% creator fee on trades.
  • The vault holds HYDD and keeps a share balance for each address, including stealth addresses.
  • The router buys HYDD with ETH straight into the vault, and sells vault shares back for ETH.
  • The stealth registry publishes each user's stealth meta-address so others can pay them.
  • The fee harvester collects the creator fees from Pons and turns them into HYDD for the vault.
