# FAQ

**What do I earn by holding $HOODSTR?** **HOODX** (tokenized Robinhood stock), pro rata to your holdings, on every protocol buy cycle. You claim it whenever you want.

**Do I need to stake my tokens?** No. Simply holding is enough. No lock, no staking required.

**Does the HOODX arrive in my wallet automatically?** No — it accrues as a **claimable** balance. You click `claim` to pull it to your address. This "pull" model avoids huge gas costs.

**Why a 5% tax?** It's the protocol's fuel: it funds the HOOD purchases distributed to holders. Wallet-to-wallet transfers are not taxed.

**Can the protocol raise the tax and trap me?** No. The tax cap is **hard-coded**; the admin can only lower it. A "honeypot" is impossible.

**What happens if nobody trades?** Rewards slow down (less tax). A public `harvest()` function and Chainlink Automation can still trigger distributions.

**Is HoodStrategy affiliated with Robinhood?** No, no affiliation. See [Legal & Disclaimers](broken://pages/LoqCrmFIq9cySgDczlkA).

**Can I participate if I'm a US person?** No. The related assets exclude US persons and certain jurisdictions. Check your eligibility.

**What's the difference between $HOODSTR and HOODX?** **$HOODSTR** is the token you hold. **HOODX** is the reward you earn (tokenized Robinhood stock). Two different things.

**How do I verify everything is real?** Everything is on-chain: verified contracts, a live dashboard, and every harvest has a tx hash you can check on the explorer.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://hoodstrategy.gitbook.io/hoodstrategy/faq.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
