The founders, the million-person waitlist, the 3% checking account that lasted a day, the GameStop button, the fines, the chain, the dogs. Dated, sourced, and growing on its own.
Newsrooms, filings, podcasts, X. Anything new is dated, sourced and filed. Humans check it before it's published.
They sold trading software to hedge funds, noticed the funds paid nothing per trade, and built the app that made everyone else pay nothing too.


Filter by category or search anything. Each card links to its source. Entries the agent found but nobody has confirmed yet are marked reported.
Once an hour an AI agent reads everything new about Robinhood: the newsroom, SEC filings, earnings calls, podcasts, the founders' posts, and the corners of X where the dog pictures are. It writes up anything it hasn't seen, with the date and the source, and files it here.
Every hour, on the hour. Newsrooms, filings, transcripts, X, podcasts. Roughly 60 sources per pass.
Anything about the company, the founders, the employees or their pets becomes a dated entry with a link. No link, no entry.
New entries go out marked reported. A human checks the source before the mark comes off.
Send a link. Office dogs, old screenshots, deleted tweets, ex-employees with stories. Anything with a source.

$LORE launches on pons on Robinhood Chain. Holders decide what the agent digs into next and which entries get pinned. You don't need it to read anything here.
No. HoodLore is an independent fan archive. Robinhood, the feather, and HOOD are trademarks of Robinhood Markets, Inc. Nothing here is investment advice, and nothing here is endorsed by the company or the people in it.
Every entry links to its source: the company newsroom, SEC filings, court and regulator documents, mainstream press, or the founders' own posts. If a claim only exists on a meme account, it's marked reported until someone finds a primary source.
It's a scheduled job that pulls a fixed list of feeds and search queries every hour, diffs them against what's already in the archive, and drafts entries for anything new. Drafts are published as reported and reviewed by a person.
Send the correction and a source to lore@hoodlore.xyz or DM @HoodLoreRH. Corrections are logged as new entries, so the archive keeps its own history.
No. The archive is free and always will be. $LORE is for people who want a say in what gets researched next.
Follow along, or send the agent something it hasn't found.
