How CATBROKERS works
Short version of the mechanics, the numbers, and the contracts. Everything here is enforced on-chain.
The idea
CATBROKERS is a collection of 3,333 broker NFTs on Robinhood Chain. A $CATBROKERS token is launched alongside it on Pons. Every trade of $CATBROKERS pays a fee. 80% of those fees go to activated brokers, 20% to the team. The holders' share is paid out hourly in the assets each holder chooses: USDG or Robinhood stock tokens such as NVDA, TSLA and SPY.
Rounds
Fees land in a reservoir. Every hour a round releases 25% of whatever is in the reservoir and splits it across brokers by weight. If the reservoir holds $1,000, that round pays $250, the next pays 25% of what is left plus anything new that arrived, and so on. Quiet hours still pay; busy hours are smoothed. A broker must be active before a round starts to earn from it.
What you get paid in
Each broker has a split: up to three assets with percentages adding to 100%. Two brokers of the same tier earn the same value whatever they picked; the split decides what you collect, not how much. The USDG share is credited immediately. Each stock's share is queued and bought at market once per round, with the Chainlink price as the floor: a fill worse than the asset's allowance, or a stale feed while the market is closed, just makes the queue wait for the next attempt. Nothing is ever lost.
Activation and tiers
Activation burns 50,000 $CATBROKERS. Burns are real and permanent. Climbing a tier costs the difference; the tier stays with the NFT forever, including when it is sold.
| Tier | $CATBROKERS burned | Weight | Multiplier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Associate | 50k | 100 | 1.0× |
| Broker | +150k | 140 | 1.4× |
| Senior | +300k | 190 | 1.9× |
| Partner | +600k | 250 | 2.5× |
| Managing | +1.2M | 350 | 3.5× |
Fusion
Fuse a second broker into a first for 100,000 $CATBROKERS: the survivor earns +20% on top of its tier and inherits everything the absorbed broker had banked. Fuse a third for 300,000 more: +30%. The absorbed brokers are burned for good. Supply only ever goes down.
Claiming
Balances are held against the token id, so what a broker has earned travels with it when sold. Claim any asset at any time to the wallet that holds the broker. There is no fee and no setting in the contract that could add one. You pay gas, which is about a cent.
Fees
$CATBROKERS trading fees accrue to the team's wallet in the Pons escrow. The team claims them and forwards 80% into the Engine's reservoir through fundReservoir, which records a public deposit event. The home page lists every forward with its transaction so anyone can compare forwards against fee claims. Everything after the forward, rounds, splits, buys and claims, is contract-enforced. Mint revenue is separate and does not fund payouts.
Contracts
Every address, with explorer links and what each contract does, lives on the contracts page. Only trust addresses listed there.
Good to know
- Stock tokens are issued by Robinhood and carry Robinhood's own eligibility terms. They are not offered to residents of the US, Canada, the UK or Switzerland.
- Buys use the Chainlink price as a floor. Feeds hold Friday's close over the weekend; weekend buys use it as their reference.
- Nothing here is investment advice. Cats are not licensed brokers.
