What the protocol is
A private investment protocol on Robinhood Chain. On-chain access to late-stage private technology companies, organised into ten vaults, each with its own mandate and its own risk budget.
01
HOH® is a private investment protocol on Robinhood Chain. It holds positions in late-stage private technology companies and gives members on-chain exposure to them.
Capital is organised into 10 vaults. A vault is one strategy — its own mandate, its own risk budget, its own portfolio. A member allocates to the vaults whose risk they actually want and holds a claim against each one that settles on chain. There is no single blended pool and no single blended risk: there are 10 separate risk budgets, and choosing among them is the member's decision rather than a manager's.
The House is the book all 10 vaults sit inside. It carries $1.94B of deployed capital across 24 active positions worth $1.81B, plus a cash sleeve of $132.7M held in Reserve. 4 positions have been realised, returning $412M.
02
Private technology companies stay private longer than they used to and do most of their compounding before a listing. Reaching that period has historically required an institutional allocation: a fund commitment measured in years, a capital call schedule, a minimum most people cannot write, and a quarterly document as the only reporting.
Three things about that shape are different here.
What is not different
The underlying asset is unchanged. A private position is illiquid, long-dated and capable of returning nothing. The weighted holding period across the book is 3.4 years. Maximum drawdown to date is −7.2%. Lock-ups run from same-epoch exit in Reserve to 84 months in Genesis. Putting a claim on chain makes the record verifiable; it does not make the asset liquid.
03
Four layers sit between a member and a private company. Read top to bottom.
L0
Members
1.24K members. Each allocates by risk tier and holds a claim per vault.
L1
Vaults
10 mandates, rated R1 to R5. $1.94B deployed, 77.3% of stated capacity.
L2
Positions
24 private companies, $1.81B held. The balance sits in Reserve as cash.
L3
Attestation
Every entry, mark and exit is written to chain on the epoch it happens.
A member never holds a company directly. They hold a claim on a vault, the vault holds positions, and the attestation layer is what makes both statements checkable rather than asserted. Each of the four is covered in its own document: vaults in Vaults, positions and how they are valued in Marks & reporting, and the attestation layer in Custody & attestation.

$1.94B sits against 77.3% of stated capacity, so the book is not full. Capacity is a per-vault parameter rather than a House total, which means a vault can close to new capital while others stay open — and one usually is closed.
The book is weighted to the middle of the risk scale. Distribution of deployed capital by tier:
R1
Sovereign
Reserve-grade. Cash-equivalent, never gated, first to settle.
1 vault · $132.7M · 6.8%
R2
Senior
Hedged or late-stage. Predictable mark.
2 vaults · $554.4M · 28.6%
R3
Balanced
Mixed stage, moderate concentration.
3 vaults · $637.2M · 32.8%
R4
Directional
Concentrated or momentum-led. Drawdown expected.
2 vaults · $453.6M · 23.4%
R5
Frontier
Earliest stage, longest hold. Uncapped upside, uncapped loss.
2 vaults · $162.1M · 8.4%
Just over 60% of deployed capital sits in R2 and R3. The two frontier vaults together hold 8.4% of the book — deliberately, because a strategy whose base case includes total losses has to be small enough that those losses are survivable. What each tier commits a member to is in Risk tiers.
