How it works.
The long version of everything on the front page. Short on adjectives, long on mechanics.
Overview
$CAT9 is the Robinhood Cat Index: one token on Robinhood Chain that pays dividends in all nine Robinhood cats.
Nine constituents, fixed weights, one airdrop per epoch to every holder. There is nothing to choose and nothing to claim.
Epochs
The epoch clock checks every 15 minutes and closes an epoch only when the accrued fees cover the cost of paying every eligible holder with a real amount left over — otherwise the check rolls over and fees keep accruing, so epochs stretch when trading is quiet or the holder set is large. At each close the vault takes a snapshot of every eligible wallet and its balance. The snapshot hash is written on-chain and shown in the ledger.
Fees accrued during the epoch are swapped into the nine constituent cats according to the index weights, then airdropped pro-rata to every eligible wallet. Settlement is fully on-chain; nothing is read from a database.
Weights
Each dividend is split across the nine cats by the weights below. Every holder receives every cat in these proportions. Weights are fixed for v1; a governance process for rebalancing and rotating constituents is scoped for v2.

Eligibility
Any wallet holding at least the minimum balance of $CAT9 at the snapshot is eligible. Tokens held in liquidity pools, bridges, or centralised exchanges are excluded because the vault cannot attribute them to a wallet.
There is no lock-up. Buying after a snapshot means you are paid from the next epoch onward.
Risks
Cats are volatile. A dividend paid in a cat that falls 40% the next epoch is worth 40% less. Smart contracts can have bugs. Liquidity can leave. Every number on the site is trailing, and past epochs say nothing about future ones.
