HOW QPAD
MARKETS MOVE

Overview

A Qpad market combines two records: a creator coin and a permanent company reference. The intended production path targets Robinhood Chain mainnet (chain ID 4663). A creator verifies one Quantum 100 company, Qpad checks for a canonical RHJ-issued Stock Token, and the Qpad coin launches through Pons v2. When the curve target is reached, liquidity graduates to a locked Uniswap v4 position.

The Quantum 100

The Quantum 100 is Qpad's curated company-reference layer. It spans quantum systems, enabling hardware, infrastructure, security, materials, sensing, and adjacent public-market exposure. It is a product taxonomy, not an index, a security, or a claim that every company already has a Robinhood Stock Token.

In the current registry snapshot, 48 Quantum 100 records map to an official RHJ Stock Token and 52 remain reference-only. Quantum rank controls discovery order; it does not change the company's identity or guarantee availability in any Robinhood product.

Two product lanes

“Bring the Quantum 100 to Robinhood” describes two related but distinct lanes. Qpad can compose with an existing official Stock Token and can permissionlessly launch its own coin on Robinhood Chain. It cannot mint a missing canonical Stock Token or force a brokerage-app listing.

How the Quantum 100 reaches Robinhood Chain

Production ingestion should run as a deterministic pipeline. Every result remains auditable back to its company record, official token metadata, and the source revision used at launch.

GET https://api.robinhood.com/rhj/assets

match:      tokenSymbol -> normalized Quantum 100 symbol
require:    deployments[].chainId === 4663
persist:    deployments[].contractAddress
verify:     Robinhood Chain official contract registry
fallback:   canonicalStockTokenAddress = null

Permanent pairing

Before deployment, the creator selects exactly one Quantum 100 record. Qpad stores the stable company ID, symbol, display name, ISIN when available, and source revision with the launch. The relationship between the Qpad coin and that company is one-to-one and cannot be edited after creation.

launch.reference = {
  quantumRank: 1,
  symbol: "IONQ",
  companyName: "IonQ, Inc.",
  isin: "US46222L1089",
  sourceVersion: "2026-09-08",
  canonicalStockTokenAddress: "0x..." | null
}

A later rank, company-name, or venue update does not change the original identity. If Robinhood subsequently issues a canonical token for a reference-only company, Qpad may enrich the verified coverage record while leaving the launch pairing intact.

Reference price

Canonical Stock Token pricing and reference-only equity pricing require different data paths. Qpad should never substitute a similarly named token, scrape an arbitrary page, or display a missing market value as live.

reference token price = company market cap / 1,000,000,000
launch premium (%) = ((coin price / reference price) - 1) x 100

When the reference is stale or unavailable, Qpad hides derived premium values and keeps coin-native metrics visible.

Lifecycle

Graduation creates secondary-market liquidity for the Qpad coin. It does not convert the coin into stock, make it redeemable for an RH Stock Token, or guarantee display in a Robinhood application.

Source model

Qpad keeps unlike facts independent: exchange listing, Quantum 100 membership, S&P 500 membership, RHJ Stock Token issuance, and Robinhood app availability are not interchangeable labels. A generic Robinhood stock page is not proof that a canonical Stock Token exists.

Fees & vault

Fees are protocol-configured rather than invented in the interface. The launch summary waits for backend and wallet estimates. Detail views keep fee-vault balances and claims separate from liquidity.

Developer API

Qpad exposes typed, read-only JSON routes so the backend can preserve the current interface contract while replacing snapshot data with signed ingestion, licensed pricing, and onchain reads.

Data freshness

The current generated snapshot is dated 08/09/2026. Production ingestion should persist the upstream RHJ revision, chain ID, contract address, oracle update time, and company-source revision.

Risks

• Company references do not provide equity, voting, custody, or redemption rights.
• A Qpad coin is separate from any RHJ-issued Robinhood Stock Token.
• Permissionless chain deployment does not equal a Robinhood app listing.
• Only official contract addresses are trusted; ticker matches can be spoofed.
• Robinhood Stock Token availability is jurisdiction-dependent.
• Stale, closed-market, or missing reference prices require explicit UI states.
• Bonding curves, DEX markets, and smart contracts carry execution and security risk.

FAQ

Are all Quantum 100 companies Robinhood Stock Tokens?

No. This snapshot has 48 verified Quantum 100 matches and 52 reference-only companies. Qpad never synthesizes a missing official token.

Who can issue a Robinhood Stock Token?

Canonical Stock Tokens are issued by RHJ. Robinhood's documentation limits direct primary-market subscription and minting to authorized participants; Qpad composes with existing tokens instead.

Does a Qpad launch appear in the Robinhood brokerage app?

Not automatically. The coin can exist on Robinhood Chain and be compatible with its wallet and DeFi ecosystem, but app listing remains a Robinhood decision.

What happens when Robinhood adds another Quantum 100 token?

The sync verifies the new chain-4663 contract and promotes that company's coverage from reference-only to canonical. Existing launch pairings keep their original company identity.
