Opening the board…
[ 01 — Open options protocol ]

The trader is the underlying.

HOODSIGNAL is an open options protocol. It lists the top traders on fomo and writes binary calls and puts on the one number they are judged by: how much money they are up.

01Readings
288/day

Readings of the fomo leaderboard, five minutes apart. Every one is published as a file with its timestamp and its source.

02Callers
10 callers

The top ten on fomo's own board, each listed with a one-day and a seven-day market. Listing is permissionless.

03Settlement
Median of 3

Both ends of a market are the median of the three snapshots nearest that moment, so a last-second flush moves nothing.

[ 02 — Market types ]

Built for the other side.

ABoth windows
Any handle, any window, either side

One question per caller, asked at two horizons. Will they be up over the next day, and over the next week. Up is a call on their PnL, down is a put, and both settle on the sign of the same number.

BEvidence
Settles on evidence, not opinion

No opinion enters a settlement. The keeper reads a public board every five minutes, both ends of a market are the median of three readings, and the outcome is posted with the hash of the file it came from.

CListing
Permissionless, and the exit is theirs

Anyone can be listed and nobody has to ask. In exchange the exit is yours alone: one signature delists you, voids every open market on your handle and refunds each position at cost.

DVoids
A void beats a bad settlement

A protocol that always settles will sometimes settle on a number it cannot defend. Missing evidence, a stale resolver or an opt-out all void the market instead, and every position is refunded at what it cost.

[ 03 — The machine ]

Three cuts,
no narrator.

Where the number comes from, how UP and DOWN are defined, and how an outcome is calculated. Follow the mechanics from the first reading to the final result.

01

The read

A keeper holds a logged-in session and reads the leaderboard every five minutes. 288 files a day, and a settlement takes the median of the three nearest the close.

02

Two buttons

A profile you already know, with Buy replaced by two live sides: UP and DOWN.

03

Settled

One market end to end. Struck at the open, a day of PnL, and one side worth exactly 1 USDG.

[ Protocol architecture ]

Three moving parts

The keeper reading the board
01 · Read

A keeper holds a logged-in session and reads fomo's leaderboard every five minutes, writing each reading to its own published file.

Read the docs
The strike written on chain
02 · Strike

A market records the median of the three snapshots nearest its open as its strike, on chain, before anybody has traded it.

Read the docs
The settlement and its hash
03 · Settle

At the close the resolver posts the outcome together with the keccak256 of the settlement file, so anyone can fetch it and recompute the result.
