Network
Written in Rust. Traffic hops through several relays wrapped in layers of encryption, so no single relay sees the whole path.

The private layer for Robinhood Chain.
A private relay network. Users, apps, RPC calls and AI agents travel through distributed relays instead of one visible path. The chain stays public; the route doesn't have to be.

01Overview
Robinhood Chain is public by design. Every wallet, every trade, every agent call is verifiable. But the network path that carries them — your IP, your RPC endpoint, the machine behind your app — doesn't have to be. HOODNET is the quiet layer underneath.
02Four pillars
One network. Four ways to disappear from the path.
Use one or all four. They share the same relays, the same .hood namespace, and the same rule: your keys stay with you.
II
Gateway
Open any .hood site in a normal browser at name.hoodnet.com. Nothing to install, no special browser.
III
Hosting
Fully self-hosted. One command puts your site on the network. You run it and keep the keys; we never store builds.

Private AI
Private inference and a .hood identity for every agent, so prompts and agent traffic never trace back to one IP.

Many relays. No single visible path.
Every connection builds a fresh circuit through different relays. Each relay peels off one layer of encryption, so it only knows the hop before it and the hop after it.
- 01Wrapped in layers
Your request is encrypted once for each relay on the path, one layer per hop.
- 02Guard
The first relay sees your IP but not where you're going.
- 03Middle
It only sees other relays, never you and never the destination.
- 04Rendezvous
You and the service meet at a relay. Neither side learns the other's address.
- 05yourname.hood
The service answers. Its origin IP stays hidden.
circuit#0000
01 / 05
Simplified. A real .hood connection builds a circuit from each side that meets at the rendezvous relay.
04Gateway & hosting
A private site, one link away.
Anyone can open a .hood site through the gateway. You host it yourself, so your keys never leave your machine.

05Architecture
A new layer between the app and the chain.
HOODNET sits between your apps, agents and services and Robinhood Chain. Nothing about the chain changes. Only the path to it does.
- Encrypted routingEvery hop adds a layer; no relay sees the whole journey.
- Self-certifying addressesA .hood name is derived from its key. No registry can seize it.
- No public originRun a service without exposing the machine behind it.
- Native to Robinhood ChainPrivate RPC and agent traffic, built for the chain.

06Private AI
Ask anything. Reveal nothing.
Inference routed through HOODNET, plus a .hood identity for every agent. The model sees your prompt, never where it came from.
- Routed inferencePrompts travel through relays, so no provider can tie them to your IP.
- An address for every agentEach agent gets its own .hood name to talk to people, apps and other agents.
- Made for Robinhood ChainAgents read the chain and act on it without a traceable path.

07FAQ
Questions, answered.
How HOODNET works, and what it does with your data. (Nothing. It doesn't keep any.)
A private relay network for Robinhood Chain. It carries traffic from wallets, apps, RPC calls and AI agents through several relays, so no single point sees both who you are and where you're going.
No. A VPN moves your trust to one company that can see everything. HOODNET splits the path across independent relays, and each relay only knows the hop before it and the hop after it.
Not to visit a site. The gateway opens any .hood address in a normal browser at name.hoodnet.com. To host a site, you use the hoodnet CLI.
You do. Service keys are generated on your machine and never uploaded. We don't store your builds, host your files or hold keys for your .hood address.
A name derived from a public key, so it certifies itself. Whoever holds the key owns the address, and no registry can reassign or seize it.
No. Transactions stay public and verifiable onchain. HOODNET protects the network path: your IP, your RPC endpoint and the machine your app runs on.
