The Ming paid its officials in rice.
We pay ours in stock.
戶部經紀司
Forty-four offices on BNB Chain. Every trade taxes the desk; the tax splits between a stipend paid in real tokenized equities and a treasury that backs your exit 1:1. What you draw is set by the bird embroidered on your chest, the same way it was for five hundred years.
The mechanism · 職掌
Four steps, none of which ask you to lock anything up四則
The plumbing is Flap's bBroker Vault on BNB Chain, powered by bStocks. We did not reinvent it. We built the ministry that sits on top of it.
| # | Step | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 授 Mint | Pay in the tax token to mint an office at a fixed cost. The tokens are burned instantly, with no dilution. |
| 2 | 課 Tax | Every quote-token swap fee flowing into the vault splits automatically between the Stipend Pool and the Treasury Floor. |
| 3 | 俸 Draw | Hold the office and draw dividends in bStocks. No staking, no lockup, claim any time. |
| 4 | 歸 Resign | Sell the office back to the vault whenever you like at the floor price, backed 1:1 by the treasury. |
The yield curve · 品級
The rank badge is not decoration. It is the dividend weight.補子
A Ming official wore a buzi: an embroidered square showing a bird that encoded his civil rank, readable across a courtyard. First rank was a crane. Eighth was a quail. That is a rarity ladder that has already existed for five hundred years, so we did not invent one.
Your share of every payout is your weight over 242, the total weight of the desk. You can read a holder's income straight off his portrait.
Three things there are deliberate. Broccoli outranks the entire court, because the unranked outsider drawing more than a first-rank crane is the funniest available arrangement and it gives the rarest regular badge a hard reason to be chased. The Empty Robe draws nothing, forever. The rarest object on the desk earns zero, and its whole value is the floor. And the curve is shallow on purpose: a crane earns 4.5 times a quail, not 50 times, so the bottom of the ladder still gets paid and still shows up.
The split · 分帳
Every tax does two jobs at once俸與庫
The Stipend 俸
Paid out in bStocks, divided by rank weight. No staking, no lockup, claim whenever you want. This is the income.
The Treasury 庫
Backs the buyback floor 1:1. It only ever rises. Resign at any time and the treasury buys the office back. This is the exit.
A holder is never choosing between income and an exit. Both accrue from the same tax, on every single trade.
| Monthly volume | Fees | Stipend | Treasury | Quail/mo | Crane/mo | Broccoli/mo |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $250,000 | $2,500 | $1,750 | $750 | $14 | $65 | $72 |
| $1,000,000 | $10,000 | $7,000 | $3,000 | $58 | $260 | $289 |
| $5,000,000 | $50,000 | $35,000 | $15,000 | $289 | $1,302 | $1,446 |
| $25,000,000 | $250,000 | $175,000 | $75,000 | $1,446 | $6,508 | $7,231 |

Why this beats the desk it is modelled on勝
stonkio.app runs the same idea on Solana: buy a broker, enrol it, share tokenized stocks from the pot. Three things there are worth fixing.
| stonkio · Solana | BnBrokers · BNB | |
|---|---|---|
| Getting in | Buy with $STONKIO plus a SOL fee | Mint with the tax token, burned, no dilution |
| To earn | Must burn a tier to enrol. Holding alone earns nothing | Just hold. No burn, no staking, no lockup |
| Payout basis | Enrolled weight | Rank weight, visible in the artwork |
| Downside | No floor. No exit mechanism. | 1:1 backed floor, resign any time |
| Paid in | xStocks | bStocks: 709+ equities, 24/7, zero fee, self-custody |
Supply · 額
Forty-four offices. Not four thousand.四十四
A ministry with 4,444 officials is not a ministry, it is a crowd, and it makes every stipend meaningless. At $1M a month of volume a 4,444-supply collection pays the median holder $1.58 a month. At 44, the median office draws $145 from the very same volume.
Scarcity here is not a marketing posture. It is the only thing that makes the yield legible, and it is why all 44 are individually painted and individually inspected, with no generated filler.

⚠ Not yet verified · do not treat as claims
- Fee-split configurability. Flap splits Dividend and Floor; we have not confirmed the 70/30 ratio is creator-settable, or the permitted range.
- Payout cadence. "Claim anytime" implies continuous accrual rather than a fixed cycle. No cadence figure appears anywhere on this page on purpose.
- Native per-NFT weighting. The rank weight may need enforcing in our own claim contract on top of Flap's vault. Biggest engineering unknown; settle before mint.
- Unset: mint price, tax-token ticker, and which bStock is the quote asset.
