Retail Punks: agentic NFTs for the retail side of the trade.
CryptoPunks gave Ethereum its first native characters. Retail Punks does the same for Robinhood Chain, 4,444 pixel traders, each one an on-chain agent, built on Lemon.fun's agent-NFT infrastructure.
1. What a Retail Punk is
Every Retail Punk is a 24x24 pixel-art character, traders, nerds, brokers, founders, degens, generated deterministically across 10 trait categories (skin, hair, hair color, eyewear, facial hair, clothing, tie, accessory, background, archetype). Token N always renders identically; there is no reroll, no reveal delay, and no duplicate trait combination across the 4,444 supply.
Each punk mints with a token-bound wallet in the shape EIP-6551 defines. Its controller is whoever holds the NFT. There is no separate private key to manage, back up, or lose. The wallet, not the artwork, is the product.
2. Activation: from picture to agent
Owning the punk gives you the wallet. Activating a token id from the holder panel lets you pick a skill:
- Investor, scouts stock candidates, quotes the trade on-chain first, and only buys inside a slippage floor set from that quote. No quote, no trade.
- Developer, collects the agent token's pool fees on a schedule and pushes them into the fee splitter, so the split runs without a manual signature.
- Staker, compounds the owner's share into the stock vault instead of paying it out, building position size over time.
Activation launches a token named after that character, using its punk art as the token image. A keeper runs every 20 minutes, calling only the selectors the owner has allow-listed. It can never move the wallet's native balance. Skill clears on every transfer; the buyer reactivates from the panel if they want it running again.
3. The Monday payday
Every agent token trades on OpenSea against $PUNK like any other pair, generating ordinary swap fees. Those fees accrue for seven days and are snapshotted every Monday. Payday is always Monday, on a fixed weekly clock, not a discretionary schedule.
Thirty percent of that snapshotted volume is swapped into tokenized stocks and sent to $PUNK holders as a real-world asset. Not another volatile token, and not a claim you have to remember to make. The remaining fee volume is split the other three ways below.
| Share | Destination | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 30% | System | Platform wallet, paid in the split call. |
| 30% | Stock vault | Swapped into tokenized stocks, paid to $PUNK holders every Monday. |
| 30% | NFT owner | Credited to the token id, pull-only. A sale hands the buyer all of it. |
| 10% | Marketing | The agent's own wallet, a budget the owner spends. |
The split is permissionless: any address can call it, so no keeper can withhold a holder's share by simply refusing to run. Destinations are immutable constructor values and percentages are code constants. Nobody, including the team, can redirect a deployed splitter after launch.
4. Valuation: important to note
Skill choice shapes the income curve. An Investor builds a tokenized stock position, a Developer keeps fee routing running without manual signatures, and a Staker compounds the owner's share into position size. Two punks with comparable traits can end up valued very differently once their agents have a track record, weekly fee history and holder base.
The owner share is 30%, but it is one of four legs. The same fee flow pays four positions at once. At an agent producing $180 per day, the split is roughly $54 per day to the NFT owner, $54 per day into the stock vault for $PUNK holders, $54 per day to the system wallet and $18 per day to the agent's marketing wallet. At $3,000 per day it is about $900 / $900 / $900 / $300. At $30,000 per day it is about $9,000 / $9,000 / $9,000 / $3,000. The stock vault leg is held as tokenized stock rather than paid out as a raw token, so holder rewards accumulate across weeks, and the marketing leg is spent back into the agent's own market, which is the mechanism that can move a small agent into the higher rows. Every figure is per agent: a punk that controls a busier agent stacks the owner leg, and a wallet holding multiple punks collects it from each.
Stated plainly: none of this is a yield promise. Agent tokens are small and prices move hard on small size. An Investor agent can lose money. Skill resets on transfer; the buyer reactivates from the panel if they want it running again. Any figure used here is an illustrative scenario, not a forecast.
5. The lore: a zero-salary employee
A CryptoPunk sits in a wallet. A Retail Punk clocks in. Owning the NFT unlocks an agent that works your bag for free. No salary, no equity, no days off. It quotes trades, collects fees, compounds positions, and reports back on what it did and what it earned you. You supply the capital and the mandate; the agent supplies the labor.
- Payday is Monday. Fixed weekly snapshot, same day every week.
- Zero-salary agent. Activation is a one-time setup, not a recurring cost.
- Real-world payout. Rewards settle as tokenized stock, not a second speculative token.
- Yours until you sell. Wallet, income and unclaimed balance transfer with the NFT the instant it changes hands. Nothing stays behind with the seller.
6. Contracts and trust surface
Six contracts, no upgrade proxy anywhere: CollectionToken, AgentCollection, AgentAccount, AgentActivator, AgentFeeSplitter, AgentOwnerClaim. Every address is verified on the Robinhood Chain explorer at launch.
Agent tokens launch through the frozen LemonLaunchFactory and lock their liquidity position in LemonLaunchLocker, which has no withdrawal path: no unlock, no owner escape hatch, no upgrade proxy. Fees are collectable; the position itself is not removable by anyone, including the team.
The platform cannot: mint beyond the 4,444 supply, change the mint price, change any fee percentage or destination in a deployed splitter, take or redirect an owner's unclaimed share, pause transfers, or stop anyone from selling.
