Robinhood Chain / blocks every 0.1 s
Land on the block you choose.
Sign an egg with a window of blocks. Keepers near the chain carry it and race to land first inside it; the contract refuses anything outside your window and pays the keeper that lands closest. No fast hardware on your side.
Aim at a block
The problem
Timing is a race against your own network.
A transaction cannot be told to wait. The chain includes it as soon as it can, and on a chain with blocks every tenth of a second, a few milliseconds of delay is a different block.
Blocks are short
One block lasts about 100 ms. The delay of a phone, a wifi or a browser is bigger than that.
The chain cannot hold it
It can only refuse a transaction that comes too early. That is exactly what a window does.
The clock is a trap
block.number here counts Ethereum blocks. Cuckoo reads the chain's own counter.
The idea
Someone else lays the egg.
You sign an egg: a call, a window of blocks, and the most a keeper may earn. You do not send it. Keepers, who sit close to the chain, race to carry it.
- The contract refuses it before the window and after it. Owner pays nothing.
- The keeper is paid from your escrow, more on the first block, less on each later one.
- So keepers compete on precision, and you are the one who benefits.
Race lab
Same window. Who lands where?
Compare a plain transaction from a phone with an egg carried by one keeper, or several racing. Every assumption is a slider, and printed. It is a model, not a measurement.
Proof, not promises
Checked on the real chain.
Nothing is deployed and no transaction is sent. The script injects the contract into the live chain, reads its real clock, buys on a live Pons curve, and watches the chain refuse eggs outside their window, tampered with, or already carried.
Versus the usual ways
Why not just send it faster?
| Send it yourself, fast | A bot you run | Cuckoo | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardware | yours decides | a server, a node, your time | none on your side |
| Lands before the window | nothing refuses it | you wrote the check, or not | refused by the contract |
| Who competes | you, against bots | your one bot | keepers, for your reward |
| Who can change the order | nobody | your bot | nobody, it is signed |
| Your funds | in your wallet | in a hot wallet | escrow, withdraw anytime |
One minute
See it first.
The race, the window, and the chain saying no.

What it is not.
Not "exactly block N". The sequencer decides. Cuckoo enforces your window and pays for being early in it. Real precision is measured with cuckoo measure; the lab above is a model.
Not private. Keepers read your egg to carry it.
Not audited, not deployed by us yet.
