❓ Hoodie Academy FAQ

What is Hoodie Academy?

Hoodie Academy is a beginner-friendly Web3 education platform that teaches crypto, NFTs, wallets, trading, and digital culture through gamified courses and squad-based learning. The Academy is built for curious beginners — no hype, no gurus, no jargon walls.

What is a WifHoodie?

WifHoodie is a 5,500-supply Solana NFT collection that acts as the membership pass to the entire Hoodie Academy ecosystem.

Owning one unlocks:

• Full Academy access
• All squads (Creators, Decoders, Speakers, Raiders, Rangers)
• Bounties, XP, and student progress tracking
• Advanced courses (T200–T300+)
• Holder-only features and collabs
• Hidden Retailstar Mall zones (HoodieHQ, coming soon)
• Staking + WIFH token rewards on wifhoodie.com
• Wardrobe customization on w3skins.com
• Prediction games, prize wheels, trait rerolls & more

It's not just a PFP — it's your identity and access key inside the ecosystem.

How do I join the full Academy?

To unlock everything the Academy offers, you'll need:

1. A Solana wallet
2. A WifHoodie NFT
3. Connect your wallet on the homepage

Once connected, your Hoodie automatically unlocks your squad and learning paths.

Where can I buy a WifHoodie?

Always use trusted NFT marketplaces:

• Magic Eden
• Tensor

Never buy through random DMs or unofficial links.

Do I need a wallet to start learning?

Not at first.

You can explore the free preview (T100 Trading Indicators course) without a wallet.

Full access — squads, XP, bounties, advanced lessons — requires connecting a wallet with a WifHoodie.

What are squads?

Squads are your learning tracks inside Hoodie Academy.

When you join, you commit to one squad for 30 days:

• Creators — art, design, memes, visuals
• Decoders — technical analysis, security, on-chain literacy
• Speakers — community building, communication, leadership
• Raiders — trading, execution, strategic aggression
• Rangers — research, exploration, cross-ecosystem knowledge

Each squad has unique bounties, resources, and culture.

Is Hoodie Academy free?

The Academy's content is included with your WifHoodie.

The only cost is the NFT itself — no monthly fee, no subscription.

What is WIFH and how does it work?

WIFH is a soft (non-sellable) token you earn through staking on wifhoodie.com.

It's used inside the ecosystem for:

• Trait rerolls
• Prize wheel spins
• Prediction mini-games
• NFT raffles
• Cosmetic upgrades
• And future in-platform features

Think of it like V-Bucks or Robux — a utility currency, not a tradeable token.

What platforms are part of the WifHoodie ecosystem?

These integrations show the expansion of the ecosystem.

What do I need to get started if I'm totally new to crypto?

Start with these three guides:

• ✔ Web3 Explained for Beginners
• ✔ How To Set Up a Phantom Wallet Safely
• ✔ How to Buy Crypto Safely

Then take the T100 Beginner Course to build confidence.

How long are courses?

Each module is short, practical, and designed for busy people.

You can complete most lessons in 10–15 minutes.

Is there a leaderboard or ranking system?

Yes — XP, squads, and bounties all feed into the Academy's ranking system.

Your progress updates automatically as you complete material.

What's HoodieHQ?

HoodieHQ is a hidden Retailstar Mall zone for WifHoodie holders.

It's a lore-connected space that will unlock player inventory, meta-progression, and future worldbuilding bonuses.

Coming soon.
