How BaseBrokers works
4,444 pixel brokers on Base. Each one owns a real onchain vault that fills up with real assets. Five steps, no magic.
The mint
FREE
The first 2,000 brokers cost nothing. First come, first served, 2 per wallet. No whitelist, no form: just show up and mint.
0.00299 ETH
The remaining 2,444 brokers, 5 per wallet. Proceeds fund the seed baskets, the liquidity and the treasury: the mint pays for the machine it starts.
MINT
You mint a broker. It arrives with its own onchain vault, created at the same moment.
ACTIVATE
You pay a one-time fee in $BBRO to put your broker to work. Half of that fee is burned forever.
ELECT
You pick what your broker collects: up to 3 assets from the list (cbBTC, WETH, USDC, tokenized stocks).
EARN
Trading fees fill a shared pot. When it is full, anyone can press Clock In: the pot buys the chosen assets and drops them into every active vault.
TRADE
Sell your broker to the Anvil for a fixed 666,666 $BBRO, or buy one out of it. The vault always travels with the NFT.
The five desks
Activation is tiered. Higher desks cost more $BBRO but earn a bigger share of every distribution. Half of every fee is burned, forever reducing the token supply.

Questions people actually ask
What exactly is the vault?
Every broker NFT owns a real onchain wallet (an ERC-6551 account). Whatever is inside belongs to the NFT itself. Sell or transfer the broker and everything inside goes with it. Only the current owner of the NFT can take assets out.
What are the tokenized stocks?
Some reward assets (wtNVDA, wtCOIN, wtSGOV and others) are real US stocks and ETFs turned into tokens by ST0x, a regulated issuer. Each token is backed by the real share. Your broker can literally stack Nvidia or a US Treasury ETF. These assets are restricted in some jurisdictions, including the United States: check the risk disclosure before electing them.
Where do the rewards come from?
From activity, not from thin air. Every Anvil trade pays a small ETH fee: 70% of it goes to the boost pot. The pot is then swapped into the assets holders elected, on real markets, with onchain price checks. No trading activity means no rewards. Nothing here is a dividend or a yield promise.
Why would I sell to the Anvil?
Instant exit at a known price: 666,666 $BBRO, always. In exchange you give up the broker and its vault. That is the game: brokers with fat vaults sold into the Anvil become targets. Anyone can pay a premium fee to snipe a specific one out.
What happens when I sell or transfer my broker?
Its activation switches off and its reward elections reset. The new owner has to activate again (and burn again). Anything already inside the vault stays inside and moves with the NFT, including unclaimed rewards.
Is the art really onchain and fair?
The 4,444 pieces were generated before mint and their fingerprint (provenance hash) is committed onchain. During mint everyone sees a placeholder. At sellout, a random offset decides which piece lands on which token. Nobody, including the team, can pick rare pieces in advance.
What can the team NOT do?
The contracts are not upgradeable. The team cannot open your vault, take your rewards, mint more than 4,444 brokers, or raise the supply. Admin keys only tune parameters like fees and the asset list.
