Collections

QUOTEXbrokers is two collections on Robinhood Chain, each 4,444 tokens, each minted once. QUOTEXbrokers is the staff: pixel employees who hold a desk in the office and draw a share of payroll. QUOTEX404 is the hardware: the computers those employees work on, and the only factor that raises a worker's pay without burning anything.

Two collections, one payroll

The two collections are separate ERC-721 contracts with separate marketplaces and separate mints. They are designed to be held together: a worker earns on its own, a computer earns nothing on its own, and a computer installed on a worker multiplies what that worker earns for as long as it stays installed.

Four tokens from each collection are shown below at their real size, with the explanation that goes with them. Everything on this page is drawn from the generated collection files, not from examples invented for the page.

QUOTEXbrokers — the employees

Four of the 4,444, shown at their native size. Every worker is drawn from the same 16×32 pixel sprite and animated over 20 frames — idle, walking, typing, waving, coffee, reading — so the same character you see here is the one standing at a desk on the front page.

What a worker is

One QUOTEXbrokers token is three things at once, and it is worth separating them because only one of the three ever changes.

1. A portrait. A 16×32 pixel character built from nine trait slots — outfit, outfit colour, hair style, hair colour, skin, pants, background, accent and headwear — plus a cap colour on the 959 tokens that wear one. The artwork and every trait are assigned at generation and are immutable. There is no delayed reveal.
2. A desk. Each token owns one of 4,444 desks in a single open-plan office, assigned by a published permutation of the token id and never reassigned. The desk decides the worker's seat class, which is cosmetic. Follow See at desk on any card above to jump straight to it.
3. A line on the payroll register. This is the part that moves. It holds whether the worker is on the clock, how much $QTX has been burned against it, which computer is installed, and what is banked in its vault.

Employment state

A worker mints off the clock and earns nothing. Burning 25,000 $QTX against it puts it on the clock at pay grade 1, and from the next payroll period it draws a share. The burn is charged again after every transfer: selling a worker returns it to off the clock, and the buyer activates it themselves. That is deliberate — it makes the activation burn recurring rather than one-time, so trading the collection keeps removing supply instead of exhausting the sink once.

From grade 1 the ladder continues by burning more against the same token. Thresholds are cumulative, so nothing is wasted on the way up.

Grade is visible in the office without reading any contract: a grade-2 desk gains a second monitor, grade 3 a plant and mug, grade 4 an executive chair and rug, grade 5 a glass corner office. Full detail in Pay grade reference.

Rank is artwork, not pay

Rank is the artwork tier. It is stamped at generation, drawn from restricted palettes at the top end, and it has no effect on payroll whatsoever — a token ranked Intern at pay grade 5 out-earns a Legendary that was never activated. The two vocabularies are kept deliberately separate for that reason: rank is the picture, pay grade is the burn.

QUOTEX404 — the computers

Four of the 4,444 machines, again at native size. Each one is a period desktop — monitor, keyboard, mouse, and on the taller chassis a tower — with a live terminal on the screen. The four chassis renders are the visible tier signal; the parts list behind them decides which tier the machine actually lands in.

Config is the configuration score, 0–987 across the collection. Lease is the range its owner may charge to lend it, in basis points of the borrowing worker's payout each period. Browse and lease them on the Borrow page.

What a computer is

A QUOTEX404 token earns nothing by itself. It has no desk, no pay grade and no vault. Its whole function is to be installed on a worker, where it multiplies that worker's weight for as long as it stays installed — and it does not have to be your own worker.

That makes it the only factor in the whole system that raises pay without burning anything. Grade, founder status and merges are all bought with permanent $QTX burns and can never be undone. A computer is borrowed capacity: free to install, free to remove, and it leaves with the token when the token is sold.

Tiers and supply

Each machine is generated with a coherent parts list across eight axes — CPU, RAM, network, storage, graphics, cooling, power, condition — which sums to a config_score. All 4,444 are then ranked by that score and cut into five tiers at fixed counts, so the supply behind every multiplier is known at mint and cannot drift.

100 bps is 1%. Score ranges are observations of the generated collection, not the rule — tier is decided by rank position alone, and where two machines share a score the lower id takes the better tier. Ids 0–8 are the desks of the nine founder workers; they reach MAINFRAME on their parts, not by exemption.

Installing

One machine per worker, one worker per machine. Installing on a worker that already has a machine is rejected rather than silently replacing it. Uninstalling is free, immediate and reversible; the worker's weight simply drops back to what its burns bought. A machine stays installed through a promotion and multiplies the new, higher base weight — but every machine in a merge group is pulled out first, on purpose, because a merge stores a factor derived from the summed base weights and a machine left in would be baked into the survivor permanently.

Lending — the token never moves

An idle machine can be listed for a fixed term of 24, 72 or 168 payroll periods. What the borrower receives is a usage right with an expiry, recorded on-chain — the ERC-4907 pattern — not the token, which stays in the owner's wallet the entire time. Expired rights are swept on every read, so a lease ends on time whether either side does anything about it.

The owner is paid out of earnings, every period, never up front:

So a borrower who never installs the machine pays nothing at all — no rent, no deposit, no minimum — and an owner whose machine sits in a drawer earns nothing. The share is charged on output rather than on time, which makes lending profitable exactly when the machine is put to work. Full rules, including what a borrower is structurally unable to do, are in Lend and borrow.

Combining the two

Everything a worker does and everything a computer does meets in one number: weight. Weight is the only worker property that decides payroll share, and it is the product of exactly four multipliers — three of them bought from the QUOTEXbrokers side with burns, one of them supplied by QUOTEX404.

Because the computer multiplies rather than adds, the two collections make each other more valuable. The same machine is worth more on a better worker, and the same worker gains more from a better machine. A grade-3 worker, never merged, no founder flag:

For comparison, promoting that same worker from grade 3 to grade 4 costs a further 150,000 $QTX, burned permanently, and buys +0.60. A borrowed MAINFRAME buys +0.95 and can be handed back. This is the intended shape: the hardware collection is the cheap, reversible half, and the burns are the expensive, permanent half.

The ceiling for one token is 49.6125 — three grade-5 founders merged into one (33.075) running a MAINFRAME. Reaching it destroys two other founders, so it can happen at most three times in the collection's life.

Architecture

Two ERC-721 contracts, a fixed-supply ERC-20, a splitter with no owner, and a browser client made of static files. Nothing in the diagram is a server: the client reads public chain state over a JSON-RPC endpoint and writes only through transactions the holder signs. Request paths in detail are in the documentation; what follows is how the two collections meet.

No address is deployed yet. The complete registry, including the lending settlement and the liquidity locker, is at Contract addresses and will be filled in there at launch.

The client

Every page on this site is a standalone HTML file. There is no framework, no build step for the pages themselves and no server-side rendering; the only bundled JavaScript is the wallet layer (wagmi, viem, RainbowKit). Token art is pre-rendered GIF, served as static files, and the office draws all 4,444 workers from committed sprite sheets — so the front page renders the whole company with no art host and no wallet connected.

Mint

The two collections mint on different terms, in a fixed order: QUOTEX404 first, free, then QUOTEXbrokers.

QUOTEX404 — free and fair

The computer collection is a free mint. Allocation comes from a snapshot of holders of the top collections on Robinhood Chain, and that snapshot has already been taken — nothing bought, sold or moved from now on changes eligibility for it. There is no presale, no paid allowlist and no team allocation; the 4,444 machines go out to addresses that were already holding.

QUOTEXbrokers — price TBA

The employee mint price is not decided and may be zero. It is not a revenue source: payroll is funded from trading fees, cosmetics and royalties, so nothing in the protocol depends on what the mint raises. The figure will be published here and in Parameter reference before the mint opens, and not before it is final.

Granted spots

Holding QUOTEX404 earns a claim on the employee mint. Two or more QUOTEX404 in one wallet makes that wallet eligible to mint one granted spot in QUOTEXbrokers.

The snapshot for this one has not been taken. It can be taken at any time before the QUOTEXbrokers mint, without notice, which means the only reliable way to hold the grant is to be holding two before then rather than to top up when a date is announced.

Royalties and fees

Both collections carry a 10% secondary royalty — 10% on a worker resale and 10% on a computer resale — and both royalties are collected by the same splitter and land in the same payroll pot. There is no separate treasury for the computers: a QUOTEX404 resale pays QUOTEXbrokers workers, and a QUOTEXbrokers resale does too. Holding either collection means holding a claim on the trading activity of both.

The $QTX trading fee is the second source, and it starts later. $QTX does not exist until after the employee mint is out; once it launches, 3% of every buy and sell is taken. The launchpad that deploys the pool keeps 0.3 of those 3 points, so 2.7% reaches the splitter, and the largest share of that goes to payroll. Until then, secondary royalties are the live source.

1. QUOTEX404 free mint. Claimed from the snapshot that is already taken.
2. QUOTEXbrokers mint. Price TBA. Granted spots claimed by wallets holding two or more QUOTEX404 at that snapshot.
3. Mint out, then $QTX launch. The 3% trading fee begins. Royalties on both collections keep running underneath it.

Each row totals 100% of what reaches the splitter from that source; see Revenue allocation for the per-100 worked figures. There is no liquidity row: the pool is launched with the whole token supply and its position is locked permanently, so no share of revenue can be added to it.

Where to buy

Both collections trade on OpenSea under their own names. Secondary purchases pay the 10% royalty into payroll, which is the mechanism above working as intended.

Until an address appears in Contract addresses, any listing under either name is not this project. Verify the contract before buying, on every purchase, including after launch.
