What FIRNA does
Traditional private-markets investing is a calendar problem. Somebody knows somebody. A memo circulates. A data room opens for two weeks and closes. The universe you can invest in is the universe someone chose to show you.
FIRNA replaces that entire process with a continuous, autonomous loop. Every cycle, six AI agents scan the on-chain universe of tokenized assets, score each one against a five-factor model, build a risk-adjusted book, enforce hard risk limits, and route orders through Robinhood's agentic trading infrastructure. No manual trading. No black box. No middleman.
These are not features. They are the controls any honest desk must pass before a single order is placed.
The six agents
Each agent has one job. They hand off to the next in a strict pipeline: Scout to Analyst to Architect to Sentinel to Executor to Steward. No agent can skip a step. No agent can override another.
Why Robinhood Chain
Robinhood Chain is purpose-built for tokenized real-world assets. It provides the custody infrastructure, the settlement layer, and the agentic trading MCP that FIRNA's agents route through. The chain is the venue. The MCP is the interface. FIRNA is the desk that sits on top.
Settlement happens on-chain. Custody is transparent. Every order, every fill, every rebalance is auditable. There is no separate back office reconciling trades overnight. The chain is the book of record.
The mandate system
FIRNA does not run a single strategy. It runs mandates. Each mandate defines what the desk should optimize for: aggressive frontier growth, balanced private-markets exposure, or real-world income with quality screens.
The five-factor model adapts to the mandate. The book construction adapts to the mandate. The risk limits adapt to the mandate. But the pipeline is always the same: Scout, Analyst, Architect, Sentinel, Executor, Steward. The agents do not change. Only their parameters do.
The desk does not have a deal flow. It has a universe, refreshed every cycle, gated by rules that do not get tired.
Paper mode
FIRNA currently runs in paper mode. The agents execute the full pipeline: scanning, scoring, book construction, risk checks, order routing. But settlement is simulated. No real capital is at risk.
This is deliberate. Paper mode lets the desk prove its logic before real money flows through it. Every run on the tape is a real run. The only difference is that Executor routes to a paper endpoint instead of the live Robinhood MCP.
When paper mode ends and real rails activate, the transition is a single configuration change. The pipeline does not change. The agents do not change. Only the settlement endpoint does.
What FIRNA is not
FIRNA is not a fund. It does not custody assets on behalf of investors. It is a desk: an autonomous system that executes a defined investment process.
FIRNA is not a black box. Every decision is logged. Every agent's input and output is on the tape. The five controls exist specifically so the process is auditable from end to end.
FIRNA is not a trading bot. Trading bots react to price. FIRNA runs a structured investment loop: sourcing, scoring, construction, risk, execution, monitoring. The difference is the difference between a reflex and a process.
