9TO5 is the utility token of Firm Brokers, a collection of 5,000 pixel-art broker NFTs on Robinhood Chain (an Arbitrum-stack Ethereum layer 2 operated by Robinhood). The token has one function: it is burned to activate and upgrade brokers. Burning 25,000 9TO5 hires a broker; further burns promote it through a ladder of ranks up to CEO (850,000 in total); 50,000 and 100,000 burns merge two or three brokers into one with a weight bonus. An activated broker receives a share of an hourly payroll paid in tokenized stocks and USDG. That payroll is funded by the 3% trading fee on 9TO5: 80% of every fee is routed to the payroll engine and 20% to the project treasury by an immutable fee splitter deployed through letscash.fun. Supply is fixed at 1,000,000,000 with no mint function; the token was fair-launched on 2026-08-28 with no presale. The contracts (EmployeeNFT, PayrollEngine, PayVault) are verified on the Robinhood Chain Blockscout explorer.
