How It Works
From first commit to the leaderboard.
HoodScan scans GitHub for projects built on and around Robinhood Chain, scores their momentum, and ranks the top 50.
1
Scanning GitHub
- ▸HoodScan crawls GitHub for repos that touch Robinhood Chain
- ▸It looks for chain IDs, RPC endpoints, contract calls, and ecosystem SDKs
- ▸Matches range from dApps and infra to trading bots and RWA tooling
- ▸Each detected repo is indexed, categorized, and queued for scoring
2
The HoodScan Score
- ▸Every indexed repo gets a score built from stars, commit activity, and Boosts
- ▸Recent activity counts more than old stars, so momentum beats size
- ▸Each repo carries a tier reflecting how deep it goes into the chain
- ▸Scores recompute on every scan, so the ranking tracks real movement
3
Boost Mechanics
- ▸A Boost is a public vote of conviction in a repo
- ▸Anyone can Boost a project straight from its listing
- ▸Boosts feed into the HoodScan Score alongside GitHub signals
- ▸Recent Boosts count for more, so support has to stay current
4
Top 50 Leaderboard
- ▸The 50 highest-scoring repos make the board
- ▸Positions shift as scans complete, not on a fixed schedule
- ▸Filter by category, from Chain Core to Trading Bots
- ▸Repos that go quiet lose ground and drop off
5
Categories & Tiers
- ▸Every repo lands in one of 14 categories, from dApps to Node Ops
- ▸Categories keep niche tools from being buried
- ▸Tiers mark how close a repo sits to the chain itself
- ▸Core protocol work carries more weight than wrappers
6
Always Up to Date
- ▸Scans run continuously against the GitHub API
- ▸Star counts, commits, and Boosts refresh on every pass
- ▸Rankings move as soon as new signals land
- ▸No submissions needed. If it's on GitHub, HoodScan finds it
