// HOW IT WORKS

The Analyst is a fully simulated terminal. No spreadsheets, no résumés — just a desk, a ladder, and a balance that moves in real time.

step_01

Hire

Onboard analysts across seven tiers, from unpaid Intern to Managing Director. Each hire costs ETH and adds to your payroll rate.

step_02

Promote

Move top performers up the ladder. Higher tiers vest more ETH per tick and unlock bigger challenge stakes.

step_03

Challenge

Send an analyst to duel a rival desk. Win chance scales with performance score — win big, or eat the loss.

step_04

Get Paid

Payroll vests continuously based on headcount and tier. Claim it whenever you want, straight into your balance.

// FAQ

What is Robinhood Chain?+

Robinhood Chain is the fictional network this simulator runs on. Every hire, promotion, and challenge is settled in ETH, our in-terminal stock currency.

Is this real trading, or real money?+

No. The Analyst is a simulation built for entertainment. Your desk, balance, and payroll all live in your browser — no real funds, brokerage accounts, or securities are involved.

How do I get paid in stock?+

Payroll vests continuously in the background based on your headcount and their tiers. Open the Payroll tab in Desk Control and hit Claim any time to move vested ETH into your balance.

What happens when I challenge a rival desk?+

You stake a portion of that analyst's hire cost. Win chance scales with their performance score — win and you get paid out at 1.85x, lose and the stake is gone.

Can I lose everything?+

Your balance can hit zero, but your hires stay on the floor. Keep claiming payroll and challenge conservatively to rebuild.

Does my desk save?+

Yes — progress is stored locally in your browser so you can close the tab and pick up where you left off.
