# FAQ

Short answers to the questions people ask first.

**How do I get a Hoardling?** Hold one whole HOARD. Buy Scales at the Market until they add up, and the Hoardling appears in your wallet. There is no mint and no sale of NFTs.

**I hold a whole HOARD but see no Hoardling.** Your wallet runs as a smart account (the EIP-7702 upgrade MetaMask and other wallets offer), so the address carries code, and DN404 does not mint Hoardlings to an account with code until that account asks. Nothing is lost: every whole unit you hold is a Hoardling waiting for the word. Open the Nest in the app and press **Hatch**, or call `setSkipNFT(false)` on the HOARD contract yourself and then transfer your HOARD to your own address. Your balance does not change, and from then on new whole units mint on their own.

**Do rare Hoardlings earn more?** No. Traits are cosmetic. Every nested Hoardling earns the same share and borrows the same.

**When does a nested Hoardling start earning?** From the moment it enters the Nest. Fees that arrived before that belong to the Hoardlings that were nested at the time.

**What do I claim?** SPY, the tokenized stock, pro-rata to what the vault has bought. Claims go through the eligibility gate, which is open at launch.

**Can I borrow with Scales?** Yes, at 45% of their value. A whole Hoardling bound to the loan raises the limit to 65% on everything you have pledged.

**Does borrowing cost my Hoardling its rewards?** No. A bound Hoardling keeps earning. Release it back to the Nest once debt is at or below the 45% limit.

**What is the wall?** USDG buy orders beneath the market, built from half of every fee and a fifth of every interest payment. It buys when the price falls into its range and moves up when the price has held higher.

**Who runs the keeper calls?** Anyone can. A scheduled keeper runs them every ten minutes as a courtesy; the buttons are in the app.

**Where is the seed liquidity?** In the LiquidityLock, visible on the explorer, with a date that can only move later.

**Does every HOARD trade pay the 3%?** Trades on the canonical pool do. A pool without the hook is just a pool, and only the canonical pool feeds the vault and the wall.

**Where are the mainnet addresses?** On the [Addresses](/protocol/addresses.md) page, published as each piece goes live.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.hoard.world/more/faq.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
