Player handbook
The StockCats manual
Everything you need to run a floor of Broker Cats: how hiring works, what each rarity is worth, how cats keep mining while you sleep, and when you can claim.
Chapter I
What StockCats is
A simulated, off-chain idle game. You hire pixel Broker Cats, each one assigned to a real company, and they generate simulated tokens for that company's ticker around the clock.
Off-chain
Cats are records in the game database, not blockchain NFTs. Nothing is tradable on-chain.
Wallet = identity
Your wallet address is your player ID and the way you pay the hiring fee. No signatures beyond the payment.
Simulated value
Tokens, prices and production are game numbers only. Not an investment, not financial advice.
Chapter II
Hiring a Broker Cat
Each capsule costs 0.06 BNB on BNB Smart Chain and rolls one random cat from the roster. Supply is capped at 3,000 desks.
- 01
Connect an EVM wallet (MetaMask, Rainbow or any injected wallet). The game switches you to BNB Smart Chain automatically.
- 02
Press Mint and confirm the 0.06 BNB transfer to the treasury address.
- 03
The capsule opens and reveals your cat: a company, a ticker, a rarity tier and a daily production rate.
- 04
The cat appears instantly on My Cats and starts working — no extra setup.

Chapter III
Rarity tiers
Rarity decides how rare the roll is and how fast that cat produces. Founder cats are the scarcest desks on the floor.

~42.0% roll chance
Rare
~26.0% roll chance
Epic
~17.0% roll chance
Legendary
~9.0% roll chance
Genesis
~4.0% roll chance
Founder
~2.0% roll chance
Chapter IV
Idle mining
Every cat mines only its own company token — Apple Cat mines AAPL, Tesla Cat mines TSLA, and so on. Production is calculated from timestamps, so cats keep working while the tab is closed.
Formula
tokens = daily_production × 20,000 × (seconds since last claim ÷ 86,400)
Higher rarity means a higher daily production rate, so rare cats reach the claim threshold faster. Balances tick live on the My Cats page and never reset on their own.
Chapter V
Claiming tokens
A company's Claim button stays locked until its balance reaches 100 tokens.
Locked
Below 100 tokens the button is disabled and shows how much is missing.
Ready
At 100 tokens the button unlocks with a green glow and the card is flagged as ready.
After claiming
The balance resets to zero, the payout is written to your claim history, and the cat immediately starts mining again.
Chapter VI

FAQ
Are these real NFTs?
No. StockCats is an off-chain simulation. Your cats live in the game database and are tied to your wallet address as an identifier.
Can I sell or transfer a cat?
Not yet. Cats stay attached to the wallet that hired them.
Do tokens have real value?
No. Claimed tokens are game points used for progression and leaderboard ranking.
What happens if I close the tab?
Nothing stops. Production is derived from timestamps, so your cats keep mining offline and you see the accumulated balance when you return.
Which chain and wallets are supported?
BNB Smart Chain, with any injected EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rainbow.
Ready to hire your first cat?
One capsule, one company, one endless night shift.
