HODLComp does not take custody of, escrow, pool, or control anyone's money or tokens. Connecting a wallet is read-only — it lets the site see your public balance to rank you. It cannot move, spend, or access your funds, and we never ask for your private keys or seed phrase. Never share your seed phrase with anyone, including us.

What HODLComp charges. An airdrop pays HODLComp 5% of what it sends (4%, 2% or 1% while the paying wallet holds ₳200, ₳500 or ₳1,000 of $HODL; the first three free for the first 20 communities claimed), paid from your own wallet in the same signature — in ADA to HODLComp’s fee address on Cardano, in SOL to its Solana fee wallet on Solana, where each of the airdrop’s own transactions carries the part for the holders it pays. Claiming a community HODLComp tracks is free; a new snek.fun or solada.fun launch that has graduated — its curve closed and its own pool open, as HODLComp reads the chain — lists itself for ₳50, or the same in SOL (one HODLComp let go after a week under the price it graduated at is not listed back) — any other token is added by HODLComp on request (@HODLComp on X). A snek.fun or solada.fun token that graduates is added by HODLComp itself, free; if one added that way stays under the price it graduated at for a week, it is let go and its data deleted.

What HODLComp charges. A competition, a campaign or an airdrop starts on HODLComp’s fee: 5% of its prizes, its pot or what it sends — a 69 Buy 10% of its starting pot (less while the paying wallet holds $HODL: 4%, 2% or 1% from ₳200, ₳500 or ₳1,000 of it; a 69 Buy 8% or 5% from ₳200 or ₳500; the first three free for the first 20 communities claimed), paid from your own wallet in the same signature — in ADA to HODLComp’s fee address on Cardano, in SOL to its Solana fee wallet on Solana, where each of the airdrop’s own transactions carries the part for the holders it pays. Claiming a community HODLComp tracks is free; a new snek.fun or solada.fun launch that has graduated — its curve closed and its own pool open, as HODLComp reads the chain — lists itself for ₳50, or the same in SOL (one HODLComp let go after a week under the price it graduated at is not listed back) — any other token is added by HODLComp on request (@HODLComp on X). A snek.fun or solada.fun token that graduates is added by HODLComp itself, free; if one added that way stays under the price it graduated at for a week, it is let go and its data deleted. The prizes themselves stay in your wallet until you pay the winners.

Trading on Solana here. The Buy sheet’s ◎ Solana tab builds the trade on Pump’s own programs and your Solana wallet signs and sends it — HODLComp never holds what you trade. HODLComp’s fee, 0.10% (0.08%, 0.06% or 0.04% while your linked Cardano wallet holds ₳200, ₳400 or ₳600 of $HODL, and none at all from ₳1,000 — or from ₳200 on the Weekly Spotlight’s token or a token Featured on Home, during that week), a plain percentage with no minimum — and from ₳600 of $HODL, a fee that comes to ₳1 or less, in the coin you pay in at the live rate, is not taken at all — is inside the same transaction and shown before you sign, and is always paid in SOL: on a coin priced in USDC it is worked out in USDC and paid in SOL at the price of PumpSwap’s SOL/USDC pool, while every unit of USDC goes into the trade. Prices move: the trade fails rather than fill past its slippage — Auto unless you pick 0.5%, 1%, 3% or 5%: the box reads the pool’s last day and leaves room for how far its price moved within a minute of nine trades in ten, a fifth more and 0.3 points, between 1% and 5% (3% where it traded too little to tell) — and none is built at a least below the one the box showed you. A Solana trade lands whole or not at all, so there is never an order left waiting. USDC itself trades against SOL here, in PumpSwap’s SOL/USDC pool alone (the pool the page checks every trade against), at 1% Auto slippage to begin with, HODLComp’s fee in SOL on the same ladder. A coin priced in USDC that trades on its PumpSwap pool is bought with SOL and sold for SOL: in the one transaction you sign, PumpSwap’s SOL/USDC pool buys exactly the USDC the trade needs and that USDC buys the coin (the SOL not needed comes back), or the coin is sold for exactly the USDC quoted and that USDC for SOL (if anyone trades the coin’s pool first, nothing moves and the box asks a new price; a USDC account opened for it is closed again in the same transaction), HODLComp’s fee is in SOL on the same ladder, and the page checks both swaps before your wallet is asked; on a pump.fun curve it trades in USDC. A trade that would move the price 10% or more waits until you confirm the impact, and the box never places one that would move it 50% or more. The price impact shown is the share of the pool the trade takes, the box judges the larger of that and the all-in figure, and slippage above 3% waits until you confirm it too. HODLComp is adding the fees its trade boxes earn to $HODL’s liquidity.

Trading on Cardano here. Where a token’s market is its Minswap pool (V2, or V1 where its first pool is still the deeper one, as $VIPER’s), the Buy sheet’s ₳ Minswap tab builds a Minswap order; where it is the Splash pool a snek.fun launch graduated into ($HODL among them), the ₳ Splash tab builds a Splash order. Where a token has more than one pool worth trading against (on CSWAP, WingRiders, SundaeSwap or VyFi too, or a Minswap pool against another token, crossed with that token’s own ADA pool in one Minswap order), a trade is split over them when that brings you more — one order on each, all in one transaction — and the box names each pool and its share before you sign. Your Cardano wallet signs it — HODLComp never holds what you trade. HODL Swap. Where a token’s pool is the Splash pool a snek.fun launch graduated into, the box can trade with that pool itself, inside the one transaction you sign, with no order and no executor: you get exactly the amount shown, or — if anyone traded that pool first — Cardano refuses the transaction and nothing moves. The box weighs it beside every order route and takes it only where it brings you more. Where that brings more still, part of a trade can be swapped with the pool this way and the rest placed as orders on Minswap, CSWAP, WingRiders or SundaeSwap in that same transaction — never as a Splash order, which could fill against the very pool the swap spends; then if anyone traded that pool first, Cardano refuses the whole transaction, orders and all, and nothing moves. Such a trade lands in two parts, and the box says each: part 1, what the pool itself pays, is yours the moment Cardano takes the transaction — it is what your wallet shows as you sign, less what leaves with the orders — and part 2 arrives when the orders fill. Because the pool’s own contract runs in your transaction, your wallet stands a little ADA as collateral, about 150% of the network fee and named before you sign: Cardano takes it only if that contract refuses the swap, and HODLComp runs the contract on the exact transaction before your wallet is asked. A HODL Swap leaves nothing waiting, so there is nothing to cancel or re-place (the orders beside one wait, and are cancelled or re-placed as any order), and its network fee is a little more than an order’s. HODLComp’s fee is the same as for any trade in the box. Every order carries the least it accepts, after its slippage — Auto unless you pick 0.5%, 1%, 3% or 5%: the box reads the pool’s last day and leaves room for how far its price moved within three minutes of nine trades in ten, a fifth more and 0.3 points, between 1% and 5% (3% where it traded too little to tell) — and the box builds none at a least below the one it showed you: the pools are read again as it is built, and if they moved against you since, it shows you the new figures instead. A trade that would move the price 10% or more waits until you confirm the impact, and the box never places one that would move it 50% or more. The order waits at the DEX’s contract under your own stake key until its batcher fills it to your own address, usually within a few blocks; one that is not filled can be cancelled right in the box, under Your open orders — the DEX’s own cancel, signed by the same wallet, which pays a fee held until it fills back in that same transaction — or from that DEX’s site. HODLComp’s fee is paid once a trade: an order you cancel keeps it paid (one held until it fills aside), and an order still waiting can be swapped — in the box or under Your trades on your Dashboard, whenever you like once Cardano has it — at today’s price with no second fee: the DEX’s own cancel takes it back, then a new order for no more than the old one put in, the same token and side, within a day of that cancel. The new order is good for ten minutes, so one credit never pays for two orders; a fee held until it fills is not carried over, since its cancel pays it back. HODLComp’s fee, 0.10% (0.08%, 0.06% or 0.04% while the wallet you sign in with holds ₳200, ₳400 or ₳600 of $HODL, and none at all from ₳1,000 — or from ₳200 on the Weekly Spotlight’s token or a token Featured on Home, during that week), ₳1 at least where it is paid while that wallet holds under ₳600 of $HODL — and from ₳600 of $HODL, a fee that comes to ₳1 or less is not taken at all — is one more payment inside the same transaction and shown before you sign, beside the DEX’s own costs: Minswap’s ₳2 batcher fee and the ₳2 it returns with your tokens; or Splash’s ₳2 executor fee, ₳1 for the fill’s network fee (what it leaves comes back), the 1% of the ADA side its executor keeps on a snek.fun pool, and the ₳1.50 it returns; CSWAP’s ₳0.69 and 0.15% of the ADA side, WingRiders’ agent fee and SundaeSwap’s scooper fee (₳2 and ₳1.28 at most), and VyFi’s ₳1.90 to its processor, each with ₳2 that comes back. A VyFi order usually fills in about a minute, a Minswap one mostly within seconds, so the box puts part of a trade there only when that brings you more. Where the box says “held until it fills”, that payment waits in HODLComp’s fee contract beside your order: HODLComp can take it only once the order has filled, and only to its own fee wallet; an order cancelled, or handed back unfilled, has it paid back to the address the order was placed from; and if HODLComp has neither taken it nor sent it back three days after the order was placed, the contract lets anyone send it back to you. A Cardano competition launched from October 19, 2026 counts a buy made in the box at its Conviction Bonus (+0.5×, never above 2×); one launched before counted buys through the Hizz widget alone, which HODLComp no longer offers. The price impact the box shows is the share of the pool the trade takes — how far its price sits from the pool’s price now — with no fee in it. Every fee is in the transaction breakdown: HODLComp’s, the DEX’s own costs, and the pool’s own fee, which every pool keeps out of what comes into it at its own rate ($COCK’s Minswap V2 pool keeps 2%). The box judges its lines on the larger of the price impact and what the trade comes to with the pool’s own fee in, so its protection never drops; where the pool’s fee alone takes a trade past the 10% or 50% line, the box says so. Slippage above 3% (your own 5%) waits until you confirm it as well, and the last step before your wallet names both the impact and the slippage. Where a token has a HODL Swap and an order route both, the box shows the two side by side with what each brings and its costs, the router’s pick marked, and you choose. A basket places up to six market trades on Cardano together, one a token: one transaction where their orders fit (a transaction holds one Splash order and at most eight in all), else two or three, each read by the page and signed in turn; each trade is its own order at its own DEX, exactly as it would be placed alone, and pays its own HODLComp fee, the fees together in one output — none, for a wallet holding ₳200 of $HODL, on a trade whose fee comes to ₳1 or less; if one of its trades cannot be built, none is, and a transaction you do not sign leaves its trades in the basket. A limit or stop, a re-place and a HODL Swap are placed on their own. HODLComp is adding the fees its trade boxes earn to $HODL’s liquidity: Home, the trade page and the $HODL page show how far those fees have come toward the goal. HODLComp’s own trade boxes are the only way to trade on HODLComp.

HODL Repack. HODL Repack spends your own wallet’s UTxOs that hold tokens and writes them back to your own address packed together, so the ADA Cardano asks beside them comes back to you as ADA of its own. Every token stays in your wallet, and the page reads each transaction before your wallet is asked to sign it. HODLComp’s fee is 1% of the ADA a repack frees, ₳1 at least, once a repack, none while the wallet holds ₳200 of $HODL, plus Cardano’s own network fee. The fee is part of the repack’s own transactions, so a transaction that never lands pays nothing. Each transaction is good for two hours. Your collateral, ADA-only UTxOs of ₳4 or more, and anything carrying a datum or a script are left as they are.

Competitions are paused. This applies to the competitions that already ran, and to any that run again.

In this version there is no escrow smart contract. Compensation funds stay in the wallet of whoever is organizing the competition. There is nothing to claim: when a competition ends, an automatic on-chain check decides who is eligible — a winner must still hold their competition tokens and, where the competition requires it, its $HODL. (Older competitions that asked winners to claim within 7 days keep that rule.) The organizer then sends compensation directly and manually to eligible participants from their own wallet — generally within the 14-day compensation period — and the transactions are posted publicly. Status is shown as Pending → Sent; an organizer who hasn't paid after the period is shown as No Compensation, which updates back to Sent if they pay later. Because the platform never holds funds, compensation depends on the organizer following through, and we cannot guarantee it. Only participate in competitions you're comfortable with on that basis.

HODLComp has a utility token, $HODL. Holding it is not required to use anything on HODLComp. While a wallet holds it, $HODL gives: a cosmetic Shell from 1M, shown beside the wallet once it has a HODLComp profile (Shell Prestige — status only, with no effect on any score, rank or result); a discount off a paid API plan from 5M; a lower HODLComp fee in the trade boxes (from ₳200 worth, and none at all from ₳1,000 worth) and on an airdrop a community owner sends, from ₳200 worth, and HODL Repack free from ₳200 worth (a featured week costs less with it too); and votes in $HODL's Community Votes — one token one vote, counted only while it stays in the wallet. $HODL vested on snek.fun or locked on solada.fun counts too. It grants holders no rights, rewards, revenue share, or claim on the platform. $HODL is not a securities offering, a managed investment, or a promise of profit. Do not expect any financial return. Token prices are extremely volatile and you can lose everything you put in, entirely independently of HODLComp. See the $HODL page for details.

HODLComp has a utility token, $HODL. Holding it is not required to join or launch competitions or to join or start campaigns (a competition or campaign set up before October 17, 2026 keeps the amount it asked); holding it raises the weight of a holder's qualifying competition buys (the holder bonus — a scoring rule, not a payment; its rungs are ADA values, set as $HODL amounts when each competition launches and never raised). Holdings of 1M and above also earn a cosmetic Shell, shown beside the wallet once it has a HODLComp profile (Shell Prestige — status only, with no effect on any score, rank or result); 5M and above take a discount off a paid API plan while they are held; and $HODL worth ₳200 or more lowers HODLComp's own fees (on rewards, a 69 Buy's start, a featured week and the trade boxes; HODL Repack is free with it) while the paying wallet holds it — $HODL it has vested on snek.fun or locked on solada.fun included. It grants holders no rights, rewards, revenue share, or claim on the platform. Neither $HODL nor participating in a competition is a securities offering, a managed investment, or a promise of profit. Do not expect any financial return. Token prices are extremely volatile and you can lose everything you put in, entirely independently of HODLComp. See the $HODL page for details.

Rankings are computed from public blockchain data and credit only tokens bought on a recognized decentralized exchange (and, in competitions on the current rules, paid with ADA):

Scores, ranks and trading figures are computed from public blockchain data. A buy or a sale is a trade on a recognized decentralized exchange:

• Snek.fun bonding curve
• Minswap V1 & V2
• Splash & Spectrum
• WingRiders V1 & V2
• SundaeSwap V1 & V3
• MuesliSwap
• VyFinance
• CSWAP

Note that aggregators (hizz.io, DexHunter, and similar) route through these venues, so buys made through an aggregator are generally counted too.

Tokens received by transfer do not count. Tokens received or sent by transfer are a transfer, never a buy or a sale. We work to make this accurate. The chain is read about every 5 minutes (up to 10 when the data budget runs low), and an open competition page updates itself every minute.

In a world that moves at lightning speed, where fortunes appear and vanish overnight, one humble voice rises above the noise: "Slow and steady… is the only way that lasts."

This Tortle wasn't born from hype or rushed into existence during a bull run. HODL was shaped by hard lessons and years of navigating crypto — watching brilliant projects rise only to fall because they moved too fast and built too thin. Communities got rugged. Trust was shattered by scams. Good people lost everything chasing the next shiny utility token, memecoin, or NFT.

Through it all, one truth became clear: the projects that endure aren't the loudest or the fastest. They're the ones that move with patience and purpose. But even after all the disappointment, something changed everything.

When $SNEK launched, it was different. No overnight hype machine. A true fair launch. Organic community growth. The team didn't just talk — they delivered, and they're still delivering today. In a sea of broken promises, SNEK proved that memecoins could build real culture, real loyalty, and real staying power. SNEK pulled its holders out of the trenches. It restored clarity. It gave back something that had been lost: hope.

That experience didn't create a competitor. It created inspiration. HODL and HODLComp exist because of what SNEK showed is possible on Cardano. SNEK will always wear the crown. HODL's only goal is to add another steady, trustworthy voice to the ecosystem — helping the broader Cardano community the same way SNEK helped so many weary travelers find their way again.

HODL doesn't promise overnight riches or viral pumps. He promises something rarer: a project built with integrity, patience, and the genuine desire to give others the same hope that SNEK gave everybody. In a space full of speed and spectacle, sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is keep moving forward — slowly, steadily, and with heart.

This is more than a token. This is a reminder that crypto can still feel good. That communities can still be protected. That building something real alongside giants is still possible.

Welcome to the slow lane. Welcome to HODL the Tortle. Slow and steady wins the race.
