About HODL v1

HODL (HODL) is a Binance Smart Chain token that pays weekly BNB rewards to holders. Funded through transaction taxes and ecosystem revenues, the token supports NFTs, play-to-earn games, staking, and tax-free reinvestment. It uses a Dynamic Reward Bot to balance sustainability and performance.

HODL (HODL) is a cryptocurrency project on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) that distributes Binance Coin (BNB) rewards to token holders. It operates within a broader ecosystem designed to increase utility and incentivise long-term holding. This ecosystem includes NFTs, play-to-earn (P2E) gaming, staking, a proprietary app, and reinvestment mechanics.

The HODL token is built with a reflection-based model. A 5% tax on each transaction is used to fund a reward pool that distributes BNB weekly to holders based on their share of the total circulating supply (excluding contract and liquidity wallets). Additional ecosystem revenues from NFTs and games supplement this pool.


HODL's primary function is to generate BNB rewards for holders. Additional use cases within the HODL ecosystem include:

  • BNB Rewards: Weekly claims based on holding proportion.

  • Tax-Free Reinvestment: Convert BNB rewards into additional HODL tokens without paying the transaction tax.

  • Governance: Participate in ecosystem decisions via holding and staking.

  • Play-to-Earn Gaming: Use HODL for in-game utilities and to earn further HODL tokens through mini-games and the “Gem Fighter” platform.

  • NFT Utility: Stakeable NFTs (HODL Hands® and Gem Fighter NFTs) provide benefits like energy for gaming, revenue sharing, and discount swaps using HODL.

  • App Integration: HODL is integrated with a proprietary mobile app that supports rewards tracking, staking, and other platform features.

The reward mechanism includes a “Dynamic Reward Bot” which converts HODL tokens into BNB based on token price, pool reserves, and other factors to maintain sustainability.
