Firm Brokers

The Employee Handbook

Everything about this project, in plain words. You buy a little pixel broker. You put him to work. He earns you money every hour. That's the whole idea.

THE 30-SECOND VERSION

Buy a broker5,000 exist and every one is minted. Pick one up on The Market or OpenSea.
Hire himBurn 25,000 $FIRMBROKERS tokens. Now he works for you.
He gets paid every hourReal tokenized stocks and dollars, sent to him automatically.
The money is realIt comes from trading fees on the $FIRMBROKERS token. 80% of that stream goes to payroll.
The 80% is locked inIt is written into a contract, so it stays that way for good.

How to start

Four steps. About ten minutes.

1. Get a wallet

A wallet is an app that holds your coins and your brokers. Phantom or MetaMask both work. Install it, write down your secret phrase on paper, and keep that paper safe. Anyone who sees that phrase can take everything. Never type it into a website.

2. Put some BNB on BNB Smart Chain

BNB is the coin used to pay for things here. BNB Smart Chain is the network we live on. You need a small amount of BNB on that network to buy a broker and to pay tiny network fees.

3. Buy a broker

All 5,000 were minted on 28 August, so today you buy one from another owner. Two ways:

The Market lists every broker for sale with the level he already holds — levels live on-chain and never show in the picture, so a broker who was promoted keeps that pay bump for whoever buys him. Sort by value to see pay per BNB against the floor. The buy itself happens on OpenSea; the Market just shows you what you are getting.

Or go straight to our OpenSea collection →. That is the only place we link. A “Firm Brokers mint” anywhere else is fake — there is nothing left to mint.

How the mint went 5,000 brokers at 0.0035 BNB, minted on OpenSea on Friday 28 August: team round, then the GTD and FCFS whitelists, then public, 3 per wallet across the rounds. Sold out. The whitelist and the front-desk booth are history now; the HR building is the auction house. Still holding an old link? Check a wallet against the old lists →

4. Hire him

Buying a broker is like hiring nobody yet. He is sitting at home. To put him to work you burn 25,000 $FIRMBROKERS. After that, he earns every hour.

Two different things BNB buys the broker. $FIRMBROKERS puts him to work. You need both.

$FIRMBROKERS does not exist yet The token is born on launch day, right before the mint opens. When it is live, a green button appears here and all over the street. That button is the only safe way to buy. If you see a “FIRMBROKERS” anywhere before then, it is fake. Do not buy it.

What you are buying

A broker is a picture and a job slot. There are only 5,000, ever.

Every broker is a small pixel person in a suit. No two are the same. They have different skin, hair, suits, ties, eyes, and things they carry: a coffee, a newspaper, a briefcase, a cigar.

Each broker also has a rank: Intern, Analyst, Associate, Vice President, Managing Director, or Partner. Higher ranks are rarer, and they tend to look richer: better suits, gold ties, corner offices.

Max per wallet

The number of brokers only ever goes down, because brokers can be merged together (see below). So the supply keeps shrinking over time.

Rank is about looks and rarity, not money. Two brokers of any rank earn exactly the same. The only things that change your pay are how much you burn and the ten legendary brokers.

Burning $FIRMBROKERS

Burning destroys $FIRMBROKERS for ever. It is how a broker is put to work.

Burning sounds dramatic. It is simple. You send $FIRMBROKERS to an address that nobody owns and nobody has the key to. The coins stay there for ever. Nobody can ever spend them again.

Nobody receives your burned coins. Not us, not the treasury, not another holder. They leave the supply and never come back.

Why burning exists A broker is free to own and costs $FIRMBROKERS to use. Burning is the price of putting him to work, and the only thing that decides what he earns.

The three burns

There are only three. Nothing else on this site burns your coins.

25k

To hire him — once per broker. He starts earning. More

up to 850k

To promote him — a bigger share every hour. More

50k–150k

To merge brokers — two or three become one. More

Each of those has its own section below with the exact numbers. You do all three at the furnace in The Bank.

The furnace, glowing, in the bank — The furnace, in The Bank. Every burn happens here.

What it does to the supply

Every burn shrinks the amount of $FIRMBROKERS that exists. Nothing puts it back. The supply only ever moves one way. That is true of every burn by every holder, not only yours.

How much exists

1,000,000,000 $FIRMBROKERS were created at launch. None can ever be added. Circulating is everything that is not burned and not sitting in the treasury.

Total ever created	1,000,000,000
Burned (gone for good)	219,975,000
Treasury (not circulating)	9,368,828
Circulating	770,656,172

Snapshot from 2026-08-29. Check it yourself: burn address · treasury · token contract. There was no presale and no team allocation: the treasury bought its coins in the launch's first buy, on the same curve as everyone else, and only ever spends them by burning to hire the reserve brokers. There is no locked or vesting tranche.

Hiring your broker

Burn 25,000 $FIRMBROKERS and he starts working.

Burning means sending tokens to an address that has no key. They leave circulation for good, and that is the point: every hire makes $FIRMBROKERS rarer for everyone still holding it.

Once hired, your broker starts earning at the start of the next hour. He does not earn for the hour he was hired in. That keeps each hour's pay with the brokers who actually worked it.

Getting paid

Every hour, working brokers share a pot of money.

Once an hour, all the fees collected are added up into one pot. That pot is split between every broker who was working that hour. Each broker's share depends on his weight, a number that goes up the more $FIRMBROKERS you have burned on him.

A broker with double the weight gets double the pay. That is the whole rule.

A freshly hired broker waits out the hour it was hired in, then earns from the next round on, so the first pay lands about two hours after hiring. Pay is delivered once enough has accumulated to be worth a trade; small early amounts roll forward, nothing is lost.

When can I collect? Pay accrues continuously and becomes collectable at the top of every hour, when the round closes. The PAYDAY machine on the trading floor lights up whenever a collect can actually deliver — your pay plus everyone waiting in the same batch has to cover one market trade, so a single small salary sometimes rides along with the next hour instead. Between paydays the machine shows your pay building and the minutes until it opens. Nothing expires and nothing is ever lost: what doesn’t deliver this hour delivers with the next.

What you get paid in

You get paid in tokenized stocks (real shares held as tokens) and in USDG, a coin that is worth one dollar. The launch menu: Apple, Microsoft, Nvidia, Amazon, Google, Meta, Tesla, Palantir, AMD, GameStop and SpaceX, plus USDG. Until you pick, a broker is paid in USDG.

You choose the mix. You can tell your broker to take all stocks, all dollars, or a blend of up to three things. You can change your mind whenever you want.

What the pay is paid in

Pay arrives as a token, and you choose which one. The default is USDG, a dollar. You can pick anything on the salary menu instead — a stock, or FRONG — and your broker is paid in that from the next round on.

Projects can run a sponsored campaign as well: their token, bought on the open market every day and paid as an extra paycheck to the brokers whose owners opt in, on top of the wage. Running ones are listed at campaigns, and the opt-in switch sits in each broker's file.

You are paid in exactly what you picked. Nothing is swapped twice and nothing is held back. The choice is per broker, so one can earn dollars while another earns FRONG.

One at a time works best Splitting a single broker between two assets can leave the smaller share sitting unpaid, because each swap has a minimum size and a small slice may never reach it. Pick one asset per broker. The editor warns you if a split would strand pay.

Where the pay goes

You pick one of two ways, on each broker's card.

Straight to your wallet. The pay lands in your wallet every hour. There is nothing to do and nothing to claim. New brokers start this way.

Into his vault. The pay waits in a vault that belongs to the broker. You move it to your wallet whenever you like, for free. Only the owner can. One button on the Trading Floor empties every vault at once.

Why anyone picks the vault Pay in the vault belongs to the broker, so it travels with him. Sell a broker with pay inside and the buyer gets that pay too. He is worth more, like selling a piggy bank with the coins still in it.

Earning more

Burn more $FIRMBROKERS, get a bigger share every hour. Forever.

25,000 gets your broker working at normal speed. If you burn more, he is promoted, and his share of every hourly pot goes up permanently.

Level	Job title	Total burned	Earns
1	Intern	25,000	1×
2	Analyst	75,000	1.4×
3	Manager	150,000	1.9×
4	VP	300,000	2.5×
5	CEO	850,000	3.5×

The level and the job title are the same thing said two ways. Level 3 and Manager mean one broker. The number shows how far up he is, the title shows what he is.

This is a pay level, set by burning. It is separate from the Rank on your broker's picture, which is part of the artwork.

These numbers are totals, not extras. If you already burned 25,000 and want to reach 75,000, you burn 50,000 more, not another 75,000.

You can also skip levels. Intern straight to CEO is one burn of 825,000. That is the same total, in one step instead of four.

Promotions are permanent. They stay with the broker even if you sell him.

You hire and promote at the furnace in The Bank. Hire him first. The chain refuses to promote a broker who was never hired, so you cannot waste a burn by doing it backwards.

Merging brokers

Turn two or three brokers into one stronger broker.

You can merge brokers you own. One survives and the others are absorbed into him, so the total number of brokers gets smaller.

Merging costs $FIRMBROKERS, in the same way hiring does. You burn it to do the merge:

Two into one: burn 50,000 $FIRMBROKERS. The two brokers' weights add together, and then the survivor gets a +20% bonus on top.
Adding a third: burn another 100,000 $FIRMBROKERS. The bonus grows to +30%. Three is the most you can merge into one.

The merger machine on the trading floor, slots empty — The merger, on the trading floor. Three slots, one survivor.

Any unclaimed pay inside the destroyed brokers moves into the survivor. Nothing is lost.

Legendary brokers

Ten brokers are one-of-a-kind, and they earn 50% more.

Ten brokers were drawn by hand instead of generated. They are called the first ten employees, and each one looks nothing like the other 2,490: different poses, different scenes, broken frames.

A legendary broker earns 50% more than a normal broker who burned the same amount. The bonus stacks on top of promotions and merge bonuses too.

Everyone has the same odds Which broker you get is decided by the blockchain at the moment you buy, from information that only exists once your purchase happens. The draw works the same way for us as for anyone else, and all ten legendaries went into the public pool.

Beyond the ten, rarity comes from traits. Some things are common, like a plain navy suit. Some are very rare, like a gold suit, a golden tie, or laser eyes. Marketplaces work rarity out automatically from the traits.

Who you might get

Every broker has a rank. Some ranks are much rarer than others.

Brokers are not put together at random. A hidden rank is picked first. That rank then leans on every other choice: the suit, the tie, the glasses, the room behind him.

That is why a Partner looks like a Partner. An Intern looks like an Intern. They are different people, not one drawing in new colours.

Here is one of each, and how many of them exist:

A Managing Director — **Managing Director**
330 of 5,000

A Vice President — **Vice President**
645 of 5,000

A Associate — **Associate**
1,235 of 5,000

Those six add up to 4,990. The last ten are the legendary brokers above.

Rank is not the same as pay level Some of these words appear twice on this site. Rank is printed in your broker's artwork and never changes. Pay level is set by burning and does change. A Partner can sit at Intern pay level, and an Intern can be a CEO.

Rank does not change your pay A rare Partner and a common Intern earn the same for the same burn. Rank is about looks and rarity. Only burning changes money. The ten legendaries are the one exception. They earn 50% more.

Selling and moving brokers

You can sell any time. Selling stops the broker working.

When a broker moves to a new wallet, he clocks out and stops earning. The new owner burns 25,000 $FIRMBROKERS to put him back to work.

What travels with him: his promotions, his merge bonus, and any unclaimed pay in his vault. Earning restarts as soon as someone hires him again.

The Auction House

One broker goes on stage every day. The top bid at five o'clock takes him home.

Bids are in FRONG. The first bid has to reach the reserve. Every bid after that has to beat the one before it by 10%.

Bid late and the clock moves. A bid in the last five minutes pushes the hammer to five minutes from then, so nobody wins by sniping the last second.

If someone outbids you

You get 105% of your bid back, straight away.

Not a credit, not a claim — the tokens are in your wallet in the same transaction that beat you. Bid 2,500 and get outbid, and 2,625 comes back.

Where that 5% comes from It comes out of the winner's money, not out of thin air and not out of a pool. Every rebate is paid by the bid that beat it. So the house never keeps the whole final price — it keeps what is left after the rebates, which is always at least half of it. Nothing here grows on its own.

What happens to the winning money

Whatever is left after the rebates is split in two. Half is burned. Half goes to the bonus pool.

The burn is a real burn: those FRONG are sent to an address with no key and cannot come back. The bonus pool can only be spent by one address, and changing that address takes three days of public notice first.

Thing	Number
Brokers on stage	1 a day
Hammer	5:00 PM New York
Each bid must beat the last by	10%
Back to you if outbid	105%
A late bid adds	5 minutes
Burned	half of what is left
To the bonus pool	the other half

The broker you win is not working yet He arrives clocked out, like any broker who changes hands. Burn 25,000 $FIRMBROKERS to put him to work.

Where the money actually comes from

Every payday is funded by trading fees on $FIRMBROKERS.

This is the part most people want to check, so here it is with real numbers.

Every time somebody buys or sells $FIRMBROKERS, a 3% fee is charged. Most of that fee flows to the project. Then it is split, and the split is written into a contract that stays fixed for everyone, including us.

$100

somebody trades $FIRMBROKERS

$3.00

is taken as a trading fee

$2.70

flows to the project

$2.16

goes to payroll, your brokers' wages (80%)

$0.54

funds development, marketing and running the site (20%)

That 80/20 split lives in a small contract of its own, created at launch, with no owner and no off switch. It stays exactly as it is, for everyone, permanently.

Then it becomes stocks

The payroll money arrives as BNB. Once an hour, a bot swaps it into whatever stocks and dollars the brokers asked for, and hands each broker their share. Anyone can trigger this. The bot just saves people the trouble.

Pay tracks trading. Busy weeks pay more, quiet weeks pay less. It is a real share of real activity rather than a fixed number, which is what lets it keep running without anyone topping it up.

Things that are permanent

Three actions cannot be undone. Worth knowing before you click.

Burning is permanent. $FIRMBROKERS you burn to hire, promote or merge is gone for good. That is the design: every burn makes the token rarer.
Merging is permanent. Merged brokers stay merged, and the supply stays smaller.
Transfers are final. Like any crypto transfer anywhere, sending to the wrong address is permanent. Checking the address is on you.

What you can count on

The important parts are guaranteed by code, and you can check every one.

The trading pool is locked in for good. It stays exactly where it is, permanently, for everyone.
Payroll keeps its 80% for good. That contract has no owner, so the split simply stays as it is.
Your art is safe on IPFS. A file's address is made from the file itself, so your picture is provably the real one.
The rules run themselves. After launch we hand back the collection's controls and the code takes over.
Payday is always yours to trigger. Any holder can run it directly, whenever they like.
One key stays with the team, and here is exactly what it opens. The payroll engine has an operator who can add salary assets and sweep stuck, undelivered funds out of the machine. Pay that has been delivered is yours alone: your wallet and the vaults have no such key.

Every one of these is enforced by code rather than by a promise, and the contracts are listed below so you can read them yourself.

Word list

Every bit of jargon on this page, explained.

Wallet: An app that holds your coins and NFTs. Like a bank account only you control.
BNB: The coin used to pay for things on this network, including buying a broker.
$FIRMBROKERS: Our token. Its job is to be burned: to hire brokers, promote them, and merge them.
USDG: A coin designed to always be worth one dollar. What a broker is paid in until you choose otherwise.
Tokenized stock: A real share, like Apple, held as a token you can own on a blockchain.
Burn: Sending tokens to an address nobody can open. They are destroyed forever.
Mint: Buying a brand-new NFT directly from the project, rather than from another person.
NFT: A thing you own on a blockchain, where every one is unique. Here, a broker.
Weight: Your broker's share size. Higher weight, bigger slice of every hourly pot.
Vault: Where your broker's pay sits until you claim it. It belongs to the broker, not the wallet.
Claim: Moving pay out of the vault into your wallet. Free, and only you can do it.
Contract: A program on the blockchain. It does exactly what it says and cannot lie about it.
Immutable: Cannot be changed by anyone, ever, including us.
IPFS: A storage network where a file's address is made from its contents, so files cannot be secretly swapped.
Liquidity: The pool of money that lets people buy and sell a token. If a team can take that pool away, holders are left with something they cannot sell. Ours stays locked in place.
Royalty: A small cut the project takes when a broker is resold. Ours is 5%.
Gas: The small network fee you pay to do anything on a blockchain.

The contracts

Everything above is enforced by these. Go and read them.

Addresses appear here once the project is live. Until then, nothing is deployed and nothing can be bought. Be careful of anyone claiming otherwise.
