THE IPO
DESK
INITIAL PIECE OFFERINGS
A curated primary market for art on StonkBrokers rails. Artists file; the desk underwrites; approved issues ring the 🔔 Opening Bell and sell by falling price in $STONKBROKER — every sale split on-chain between the artist, the burn, the brokers, and the desk. Nothing lists that the house has not signed.
HOW AN ISSUE COMES TO MARKET
The pipeline is the product.
Artists file for an offering: the work, the supply, a draft prospectus. Anyone can file; nobody can list.
The desk reviews and signs — or passes. Taste, originality, IP, technical soundness. Curation is the product: a signed issue means the house looked first.
An approved issue is announced with its full prospectus — every trait, every mechanic, documented before a single bid. Generative work is deterministic and verifiable from the seed.
The auction is a falling price. It opens high and drops on a published curve until buyers strike — for editions, until the run sells out. Nobody outbids anybody; you simply decide when the dip is deep enough.
Settlement in $STONKBROKER, split on-chain at the moment of sale: artist · burn · brokers · desk. Sold pieces can deposit straight into the buyer's broker briefcase.
THE SPLIT — EVERY SALE FEEDS THE MACHINE
Artists keep 90%.
The house keeps 1.12%.
The artist is paid in $STONKBROKER, instantly, inside the strike transaction itself — no escrow, no claim, no waiting on the house. The spread is not a platform fee — it is the flywheel. The burn retires $STONKBROKER with every sale. The brokers' leg deposits into the existing Clock In reward bar, the same rails that already drop rewards to activated brokers. And activated brokers strike the dip at a 4.44% discount funded from the spread, never from the artist — the artist is paid on the full price of every strike, discounted or not.
Secondary royalties: 5% — split 3% artist · 1% desk · 1% burn, enforced by ERC-2981 and a splitter anyone can settle.
The house keeps just 1.12% — the rest of the spread is burned or rewards the brokers who collect you. Every other venue's cut funds a platform; ours funds your market.
| EVERYONE ELSE | ARTIST KEEPS | WHERE THE REST GOES |
|---|---|---|
| ART BLOCKS | 90% | 10% to the platform |
| FXHASH (ETH) | 90% | 10% to the platform |
| OPENSEA DROPS | 90% | 10% to the platform |
| TRANSIENT LABS | ~100% | collector-side mint fee; 2.5% on 1/1 listings |
| TRADITIONAL GALLERY | ~50% | half to the wall |
THE FLYWHEEL
Every issue is a demand event.
Every auction is denominated in $STONKBROKER — collectors must acquire it to strike. Each issue the desk signs is a scheduled demand event for the token.
The burn leg retires token at settlement, every sale, forever. Activation fees already burn 50% — the desk follows the house style. Art makes the stock scarcer.
The brokers' leg gives Clock In a second revenue source beyond AMM fees. Activation gets more valuable, which drives more activation, which burns more. Working at the firm has perks.
GENESIS · PROVING THE PIPELINE END TO END
Issue Nº 001 — Rose Engine
444 engraved bearer certificates cut by a working generative rose engine — deterministic from a committed seed, dihedrally symmetric, audited to the anti-aliasing floor, print-masterable at 12,000px. Every palette is anchored to a color taken directly off a StonkBroker. Every certificate moves — or, if you pull Diamond Hands, refuses to. Possession is ownership.
