01 · The Story

How to get paid when they fire you.
The whole thesis, in three lines.

01 · THEY CUT

Big Tech fires people every quarter.

Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Cisco. Another "company transformation" email, another 4,000 badges deactivated. Over 85,000 people this year from 16 firms alone.

02 · THE STOCK POPS

Wall Street calls it efficiency.

Layoff announcement, record quarter, all-time high. Same week, every time. The people leave, the market cap stays. Somebody is getting paid for those cuts. It was never you.

Until now ↓
03 · YOU HOLD THE INDEX

$LAYOFF is priced in QQQ.

QQQ is the Nasdaq-100: Microsoft, Amazon, Meta, Alphabet, Cisco, Intuit, PayPal. Nine of the 16 firms on our register, in one ticker. When they cut and the index climbs, $LAYOFF climbs with it. Before anyone even buys.

They cut. The index rallies. You hold.
QQQ +5% on layoff day → $LAYOFF +5% in dollars → zero buyers needed

APPLICATION FOR UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSATION (CRYPTO)Processing time: ~1 block
  1. 01

    Get a wallet

    Install MetaMask or Rabby, then add the Robinhood Chain network. It's an Ethereum L2, your wallet will offer to add it the first time PONS asks.

    Think of it as your new HR portal, except it actually works.
  2. 02

    Get QQQ on Robinhood Chain

    $LAYOFF is bought with QQQ, the tokenized Nasdaq-100. Bridge some ETH to Robinhood Chain, swap most of it for QQQ on any Robinhood Chain exchange, and keep a little ETH for gas.

    This is your last honest paycheck.
  3. 03

    Swap QQQ for $LAYOFF on PONS

    Open the $LAYOFF page on PONS (link below at launch) or paste the contract address into it. Approve QQQ once, then swap. The 3% trade fee is 1% to the PONS pool and 2% to the Severance Fund.

    Congratulations, you're unemployed.
  4. 04

    Hold

    $LAYOFF is priced in QQQ, so it moves with the Nasdaq-100 before a single new buyer shows up.

    Every time a CEO says "efficiency" on an earnings call, check the chart.
