# Hodler Documentation

a decentralized game that rewards hodlers and penalizes sellers

{% hint style="warning" %}
Hodler is in **beta** and **unaudited**, please use at your own risk.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}
Hodler is fully decentralized and free!
{% endhint %}

Hodl is used in the cryptocurrency space to describe holding a cryptocurrency rather than selling. Selling is done by weak hands. To give the real hodlers in the space the chance to prove themselves we created hodler, a game where early sellers are penalized and hodlers are rewarded. As it should in the crypto space hodler is fully decentralized, meaning the game when started **can't be stopped**.
