Crosshood Protocol

Fully on-chain prediction market on Robinhood Chain. AI observes live traffic cameras. Users bet ETH on real outcomes. Winners split 95% of the pool; 5% goes to Series 1 tile holders.

How It Works

1. Watch — Live traffic camera streams 24/7

2. Predict — Bet ETH on Over or Under the vehicle threshold

3. AI Counts — Proprietary vision system counts every vehicle crossing

4. Settle — 95% to winners (proportional), 5% to Series 1 tile holders

ETH Markets

Bet with native ETH. Winners receive 95% of the pool, split proportionally to their stake. The 5% fee flows to Series 1 tile holders. Zero protocol take — the house never wins.

Payout Economics

Pari-mutuel pools. The protocol never bets against you — all ETH in each round is returned to the market (winners + tile holders). Fee is hardcoded in the contract and cannot be changed.

Oracle & AI System

The Crosshood oracle is the bridge between the physical world and the blockchain. A computer-vision pipeline runs 24/7 on a GPU, watching a live traffic camera and counting every vehicle that crosses a calibrated line. When a round ends, the final count is submitted on-chain, the contract picks the winning range, and winners are paid automatically.

Real-time DetectionYOLO object detection + multi-object tracking. Frame-by-frame vehicle identification.
Line-Crossing CountPer-camera calibrated counting line + ROI mask. Dedup window prevents double-counting.
Multi-classCars, trucks, buses and motorcycles are all counted.
Live StreamAnnotated frames broadcast via WebSocket so users see the count update as it happens.

Evidence & Attestation

Every resolved round carries a verifiable trail. During the counting window, the oracle saves annotated JPEG frames every 30 seconds plus a final frame at round close. Each frame is hashed with SHA-256and stored alongside the market record. Anyone can fetch them via the public endpoint /api/evidence/[market] and recompute the hashes to confirm nothing was swapped after the fact.

The oracle operates under a single trusted signer today. A multi-oracle stack — stake & slashing, commit-reveal, median consensus, disputes — is already deployed on-chain as dormant infrastructure (OracleRegistry,DataAttestation, ConsensusEngine,DisputeManager). It is wired to be activated without a redeploy when the protocol moves past a single operator.

Round Lifecycle

Every round lasts 5 minutes. The betting window is short on purpose: pools fill fast, the outcome is close to the bet, and the next round starts almost immediately.

PhaseDurationWhat Happens
Betting2:30Market is OPEN. Place placeBet(side) with ETH. Live count is already streaming.
Locked0:00lockMarket() is called on-chain. lockTime was set at creation — no new bets accepted.
Counting2:30Oracle keeps counting. Evidence frames captured every 30s and hashed.
ResolvedresolveMarket(count). 5% fee leaves the pool, 95% becomes the prize pool.
DistributeddistributeAll() sweeps payouts to every winner in one tx — no manual claim.

If a round has no bets on one side, the oracle cancels it viacancelMarket() and refundAll() returns every wei. Nobody can win a one-sided pool; nobody loses gas to a broken market.

Autonomous Agents

Crosshood is not just a set of contracts — it is a set of long-running bots that keep the protocol live and balanced. All three operate from known wallets and every action they take is an on-chain transaction you can inspect on Robinscan.

Oracleproduction

Creates each round, watches the camera, submits the count, and auto-pays winners. Operates the lifecycle functions on MarketFactory and every deployed PredictionMarketcreateMarket, lockMarket,resolveMarket, distributeAll, cancelMarket.

Housebotproduction

Provides two-sided liquidity so pools never resolve one-sided. Places small bets on whichever side is thinner, then lets real bettors set the odds. Funded by the protocol and operates at a loss on purpose — its P&L is public on the Transparency page and the deficit is the cost of keeping markets tradeable.

Every wager the housebot places is an on-chain placeBet tx from a dedicated wallet. No hidden matching — what you see in the pool is what is actually bet.

Watchdogproduction

Supervises the oracle and the detection engine. Heartbeat every 30s, exponential-backoff restart on crash, alerts on rapid restarts, and orphan-market recovery on boot — if a crash left a market OPENor LOCKED without a resolution, watchdog cancels it so bettors get refunded instead of stuck.

Full, audited activity for all three bots (bets, fees, net P&L, foreclosures) is published on the Transparency page.

Founder Tiles Series 2

Founder Tierlimited

Premium ownership tier with 5x revenue weight and permanent buyout protection. Founders cannot be forced out — your position is yours as long as you maintain the tax deposit.

Normal Tier

Standard tile with 1 share of revenue. Can be bought out at your declared price. Lower entry cost, same Harberger mechanics.

Series 1 Tiles V1

The original 100 tiles. Each tile = 1 equal share of ETH market fees. Harberger tax model: declare a price, pay 5%/week tax, anyone can force-buy at your price.

Harberger Tax — Non-Payment & Foreclosure

Both Series 1 and Series 2 tiles operate under a pure Harberger tax regime. This is not a subscription — it is a self-enforced property tax written into the contract. Failing to keep your tile solvent results in permanent foreclosure.

Every tile carries a weekly tax equal to 5% of its declared price, charged against the tile's on-chain deposit. The tax accrues continuously from the moment you claim the tile. If the accrued tax ever exceeds your remaining deposit, the contract consumes the entire deposit and revokes your ownership the next time any function touches the tile (buyoutTile, setPrice, addDeposit, abandonTile, or pokeTax).

pokeTax is permissionless. Anyone — any wallet on Robinhood Chain — can call it on any tile at any time. If your tile is insolvent when they do, you lose the tile and the deposit in the same transaction. There is no grace period, no warning, no refund.

The deposit on a tile can appear unchanged in explorer snapshots because the contract uses lazy collection: tax only decrements the deposit when the tile is interacted with. This does not mean the tax is waived — it means the debt is accumulating silently. The balance you see is a pre-settlement view, not a solvency check.

To keep a tile alive indefinitely, top up its deposit before it runs dry by calling addDeposit(tileIndex). A useful rule of thumb: keep at least 2–3 weeks of tax on deposit, and refill monthly. If you cannot or do not want to maintain a tile, you can abandonTile(tileIndex) at any time to recover whatever deposit remains.

This is the Harberger design working as intended: holders either pay for the right to hold, or the position returns to the market. The rules are hardcoded in the RushTiles V1 and RushTiles V2 contracts and can be independently verified on Robinscan. See the _applyTax function for the exact foreclosure logic.

FAQ

What am I actually betting on?Whether the total number of vehicles crossing the counting line in 5 minutes will be OVER or UNDER a threshold set at the start of the round. The threshold adapts automatically based on recent traffic so pools stay balanced.
Where do winnings come from?From the other side of the pool. 95% of the total pool is distributed to the winning side in proportion to bet size. There is no house: the protocol takes zero of your stake — the 5% fee that is subtracted from the pool is paid out to tile holders, not to a house book.
Do I need to claim my winnings?No. After the oracle calls resolveMarket(), a separate distributeAll() call pushes payouts to every winner in the same transaction. Your ETH arrives automatically; there is no manual claim button.
What if the oracle is wrong?Every round stores SHA-256 hashes of annotated frames in the ledger (see /api/evidence/[market]). You can pull those frames, recompute the hashes, and check the count yourself. The multi-oracle + commit-reveal + dispute stack is deployed on-chain and can be activated without redeploying the factory.
What happens if a stream dies mid-round?The oracle cancels the market and refundAll() returns every wei to every bettor. You lose nothing but gas on your original bet.
How does the Housebot affect my odds?It adds liquidity to the thin side, which narrows the gap between sides. It does not set odds directly — you still set them by betting. Its bets are visible on Robinscan and on the Transparency page.
Why two tile series?V1 (100 tiles, 1 share each) shipped first. V2 (100 tiles, Founder 5 shares / Normal 1 share, buyout-immune Founders) is the newer generation with a rebalanced fee split. They are independent contracts with separate treasuries.
Can my tile really be bought out?V1 and V2 Normal tiles: yes, at your declared price, any time. V2 Founder tiles: no — buyoutTile reverts. Founders can only change hands through voluntary abandon or foreclosure.
What is pokeTax and should I worry about it?It is a permissionless function any wallet can call on any tile. If you have let the Harberger tax eat through your deposit, calling pokeTax foreclosures your tile instantly — you lose ownership and any dust in the deposit. Keep 2–3 weeks of tax on deposit and call addDeposit monthly and you will never be foreclosed.
