How The Hoodverse works

The Hoodverse is a live performance dashboard for the top NFT collections on three chains. Instead of a table of numbers, collections are drawn as planets orbiting a core: the size of a planet is its trading volume, its distance from the galaxy centre is its floor price, and the number of dots in the ring around it is its total sales up to the date you're viewing — more dots means more sales. How fast a planet circles the centre is set by its distance, so cheaper-floor planets sit closer in and travel faster, while pricier ones sit further out and drift slowly. Selecting a planet highlights it in the side list; the eye icon opens its full collection page.

Three buttons at the top of the page switch between Robinhood, Ethereum and ApeChain. Each chain gets its own top 25, its own galaxy, timeline, movers, wallet view and collection pages, and the heading under the title changes to match the chain you are on. The chain you picked stays in the web address, so links you copy or share open on the same chain, and moving into a collection page and back keeps you where you were.

The first visit to a chain can take a few seconds while its figures are gathered. After that the list is saved and served instantly to everyone, refreshing quietly in the background.

All marketplace data comes from the OpenSea API — collection stats, floor prices, volumes, sale counts, recorded sales history, collection artwork, and the social and website links shown on each collection page. Every collection page links back to that collection on OpenSea.

ETH-to-dollar and APE-to-dollar conversion uses live exchange rates (Coinbase, with CoinGecko as a backup) so that dollar equivalents shown under native prices reflect the current market.

For the chain you are viewing, the app asks OpenSea for its 50 largest collections, enriches the leading ones with all-time statistics, drops any with no volume and no sales, then converts every collection's all-time volume into dollars so ETH, APE and stablecoin collections can be compared fairly. The 25 highest by dollar volume make the galaxy.

Only collections OpenSea marks as verified or approved are included, so copycat and spam collections are kept out. Anything flagged, disabled or marked sensitive is excluded.

Where the same project appears twice — usually an old contract left dormant beside a newer one — only the active version is kept, and the next eligible collection moves up to fill the free place.

Hovering the bright centre of the galaxy shows a Hoodverse summary: total volume with its dollar equivalent, total sales and the number of collections in view. Clicking it sets off a supernova — the planets collapse, every figure counts down to zero and a message confirms the Hoodverse has been destroyed, before it rebuilds itself a few seconds later. It's purely for fun and changes no data.

The volume, Floor price and Sales buttons above the list do two things at once: they change what the galaxy is drawing and they reorder the collection list by that same figure. A fourth button, Movers, sorts the list by floor price movement and shows each collection's move as a green or red percentage beside its dollar floor, without changing the galaxy. A search box filters the list by name, and the strip above it highlights the five biggest risers and the five biggest fallers.

Everything below the galaxy is split into tabs — Collections, New arrivals, My Hoodverse, Watchlist and Compare — on phones and computers alike, so only one panel is on screen at a time. The play timeline and the sorting buttons belong to the Collections tab.

Each row shows the collection's artwork, a star to add it to your watchlist, and an eye icon that opens its full collection page.

Starring a collection adds it to your watchlist, which gets its own tab and a highlight ring around that planet in the galaxy. The Compare tab puts up to three collections side by side on volume, floor, sales and owners. Both are saved in your own browser only — no account, and nothing leaves your device.

The homepage and every collection page have a Share button that opens the finished card on screen — the galaxy card carries the Hoodverse planet, a collection card carries that collection's own planet alongside the project's logo. The banner across the top names the chain you are on: The Hoodverse · Robinhood Chain, · Ethereum Chain or · ApeChain. From there you can save the image, copy it, share it through your phone's own share sheet, or open a ready-written post on X — which tags @RobinhoodCrypto, @ethereum or @ApeChainHUB to match the chain.

The New arrivals tab lists the collections created most recently, using the actual creation date OpenSea records for each collection — not a shared launch date. You can filter to the last 7, 14 or 30 days.

My Hoodverse shows the collections held by any wallet on the chain you are viewing, so switching chain switches the holdings. You can connect a browser wallet or simply paste an address. It is read-only: the app only ever reads the public address, never asks for a signature and never sends a transaction, and the address is stored only in your own browser.

A "Hoodverse Only" tick box is on by default and limits the list to items that are in that chain's top 25. Untick it to see everything else the wallet holds on that chain. Each listed item has an eye icon that opens its collection page on the right chain.

Not every collection trades in ETH. Some price in APE, USDG or another dollar-pegged token, and a collection can even use one currency for its floor and another for volume. The Hoodverse keeps each figure in the currency OpenSea reports and labels it, then shows the dollar equivalent underneath — so a USDG floor reads as 2.21 USDG with $2.21 below it, and an ETH or APE floor shows its converted dollar value. Totals across mixed collections are converted before being added together, and the headline total is labelled with whichever currency most of that chain's volume is quoted in.

The up and down percentages are real listed-floor movement, not the price things happened to sell for. The Hoodverse records every collection's floor on every chain once an hour and stores it, then compares the current floor with the reading from roughly an hour earlier. That hourly move is what you see in the Movers strip, beside the dollar floor in the list, and under the floor price on a collection page. Until an hour of readings exists for a collection, a recorded-sales estimate is shown instead.

The timeline is rebuilt from real recorded sales, day by day across the last 12 months, and it sits directly under the galaxy map. Every chain uses the same 12-month window so they can be read the same way; Robinhood starts at its launch day. Pressing play steps the galaxy through those days so you can watch collections grow, drift and fade. If historical sales cannot be loaded at that moment, the trend before today is estimated and made to land exactly on today's real totals — and the app keeps retrying in the background. A reset button jumps straight back to today.

Each collection page brings together:

• Headline stats — floor, volume, sales, owners — with dollar equivalents.
• The hourly floor movement under the floor price, with a question you can tap for an AI explanation.
• Links out to OpenSea, plus the project's X and website when OpenSea lists them.
• A live sales ticker covering the last 7 days of sales, refreshed every minute; the percentage there is sale-price movement.
• The related chain token and its market stats, when the collection has one.
• A price alert tool, the 7-day floor prediction and its commentary, described below.
• A TLDR button giving an AI rundown of the project.
• Three charts covering the days OpenSea returned sales for: the lowest sale price each day, a running lifetime volume total, and the number of sales per day.
• A watch button, a chain-aware share card, and a back link that returns you to the chain you came from.

Under the floor price on a collection page there is a question that changes with the move — "Why is the floor up?", "down?" or "unchanged?". Tapping it asks an AI model to explain, using only Hoodverse evidence: that collection's own recorded hourly floor readings over the last day or so and its most recent sales from OpenSea. The answer says what the data supports, flags when a move is small enough to be noise, and says plainly when there isn't enough history to judge. It never invents news, partnerships, rumours or whale activity, and it is not financial advice.

You can set a target floor price on any collection page and be notified when it is reached. Targets can be typed in directly or nudged in 5% steps from the current floor, and the direction (drops to / rises to) follows from whether your target sits below or above the current floor. Alerts are checked while the page is open and are delivered as a browser notification plus an in-app message. They are stored in your own browser, so no account is needed — and they only run while The Hoodverse is open in a tab.

The forecast uses only that collection's own floor price history — the last 30 days of real, non-zero floor readings. It fits a recency-weighted trend on a logarithmic scale so that recent days count for more, damps recent momentum so a single spike cannot dominate, anchors the curve to the current floor, and derives its uncertainty band from how noisy and volatile the collection's own history has been.

The figures are worked out by deterministic maths, not written by an AI model, so the same data always gives the same answer. The projected floor, its dollar value and the percentage move are shown directly beneath the chart.

The chart stays hidden until you tick the risk acknowledgement, which then reveals a button to show it. This is a deterministic prediction model only. It is not an indicator of actual future price performance or results. Nothing here is financial advice (NFA) — always do your own research (DYOR).

Beside the prediction controls there is a Prediction Commentary button that opens the same Hoodverse AI Insight popup. It asks an AI model for a short plain-English read of why the trend points the way it does — whether recent days are climbing, falling or flat, whether daily sales are thin or heavy, whether one odd day distorted things, and how wide the range is. It only ever sees that collection's recorded daily floors and sale counts and the projection figures; it never changes a number, and it never invents news, partnerships or whale activity.

To the right of the Share button on each collection page is a TLDR button named after the collection. It opens the same insight popup with a short rundown of the project: what it is, who founded it, when it was created and how it has performed since launch and recently. It draws on the collection's OpenSea profile, its official website where one is listed, and the live stats already on the page. Verified founder details are stated as fact; anything not supported by those sources is left out.

OpenSea limits how often its API may be called, so The Hoodverse caches results on the server and shares them across everyone viewing the site rather than calling OpenSea once per visitor. The collection list and sales ticker refresh about every minute, token stats every five minutes, sales history every ten minutes, and social links hourly. Requests are queued and kept comfortably below the allowed rate, with automatic back-off and retry if OpenSea asks the app to slow down; if a refresh fails, the last good figures stay on screen. Each chain's most recent top 25 is also saved, so a cold visit shows real figures straight away while fresh ones load.
