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.
職掌 · the mechanism
Four steps, and none of them ask you to lock anything up四則
The plumbing is Flap's vault spec on BNB Chain, paid in bStocks. We did not reinvent it. We built the ministry that sits on top of it.
| Step | What happens | |
|---|---|---|
| 一 | 授 Mint | Pay in the tax token to mint an office at a fixed cost. The tokens are burned instantly, with no dilution. |
| 二 | 課 Tax | Every quote-token swap fee flowing into the vault splits automatically between the Stipend Pool and the Treasury Floor. |
| 三 | 俸 Draw | Hold the office and draw dividends in bStocks. No staking, no lockup, claim any time. |
| 四 | 歸 Resign | Sell the office back to the vault whenever you like at the floor price, backed 1:1 by the treasury. |
品級 · the yield curve
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. 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. 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.
分帳 · the split
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. This is the exit.
| Monthly volume | Fees | Stipend | Treasury | Quail | Crane | Broccoli |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $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 |
比較 · against the original
Why this beats the desk it is modelled on勝
stonkio.app runs the same idea on Solana. 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 |
額 · supply
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 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 posture. It is the only thing that makes the yield legible, and it is why all 44 are individually painted and individually inspected.

- Fee split. The 70/30 is implemented in our own vault; Flap's own bBroker split is undocumented.
- Payout cadence. Continuous accrual is implied. No cadence figure appears on this page on purpose.
- The Flap Guardian retains backup access to any permissioned function, and we cannot revoke it.
- Unset: mint price, tax-token ticker, and which bStock is the quote asset.
