Glossary.
Every term you'll meet in the Discord, the docs and this wiki, in plain English.
- Activation
- Paying a one-off $STONKBROKER fee to switch a Broker on for rewards. Five tiers; half of every fee is burned; wiped on any transfer. Full page: Activation.
- ActivationCleared
- The onchain event emitted when a transfer wipes a Broker's activation. If you see it, that Broker earns nothing until someone pays the fee again.
- Anvil
- The always-open NFT AMM: buy a random Broker, snipe a specific one, or sell back at the fixed 666,666 STONK reference plus ETH fees. Full page: The Anvil.
- Base tier (T0)
- The cheapest activation rung: 66,666 STONK for 100x weight. The best weight-per-token rate on the ladder, and where 81% of activations sit.
- Boolish
- Full disclosure: this one is cheeky. Boolish is the maintainer's energy drink, and boolish.xyz is the tip jar behind the yellow button in the footer. The wiki is free, the Broker Checker is free, and buying a can is the entire business model. Optional, appreciated, and it changes nothing about what gets written here.
- Broker
- One of the 4,444 StonkBrokers NFTs - simultaneously a pixel-art collectible, an ERC-6551 wallet, and a claim on 666,666 $STONKBROKER. Full page: The Broker.
- Broker Box
- Ecosystem product housing Stonk Certificates (stock-backed bearer-note NFTs) and Degen Mode (a provably-fair stock-token game, 90% RTP).
- Clock In
- The reward mechanism: fee revenue pools in ETH, anyone can trigger a round, and activated Brokers receive their weighted share in their elected assets. Full page: Clock In.
- Clutch Markets / Clutch Labs
- The company behind StonkBrokers and most of the ecosystem (X: @ClutchMarkets, GitHub: Clutch-L4bs).
- Deliver
- The button (and function) that pushes a Broker's credited rewards into its token-bound wallet immediately.
- DERP
- Distributed Entropy Rotation Protocol - the ecosystem's onchain randomness source, used by Degen Mode and Opening Bell Buybacks. Also a Special Projects token.
- Directed Booster
- Clock In v2, the current reward engine: fully onchain, permissionlessly triggered, with per-Broker asset elections. Replaced the retired v1 StockBooster.
- Effective supply
- Community metric: 4,444 minus the Broker-backings burned out of the token supply - the number of Brokers that could still theoretically be bought out of the vault at reference price. Shrinks as burns continue. Explained on The Anvil.
- Election
- An activated Broker's choice of reward asset(s) - up to three, with custom weights, default ETH. Changes the asset you receive, not the amount. Dies on transfer.
- ERC-6551 / token-bound account (TBA)
- The standard that gives an NFT its own smart wallet. Every Broker has one; rewards land there, and the wallet travels with the NFT when it sells.
- Escrow reserve
- The contract holding the $STONKBROKER that pays out when Brokers are sold back to the Anvil - what makes the 1:1 redemption real. Details: $STONKBROKER.
- Interns
- An announced, not-yet-detailed upcoming addition to the ecosystem. Watch What's Changed?.
- Loans
- Pawning a Broker as collateral to borrow its full 666,666 STONK backing, for an upfront ETH fee at 15% APR. Details: Ecosystem Map.
- Opening Bell Buybacks
- Randomly triggered market buybacks on Stonk Launcher tokens, funded by trading fees, timed by DERP randomness.
- Robinhood Chain
- The Arbitrum Orbit L2 (chain id 4663, ETH gas) everything runs on, live since 1 July 2026, home of 24/7 tokenised stock trading. Explorer: robinhoodchain.blockscout.com.
- Safety Deposit Box
- The ecosystem's audited liquidity locker - where launcher graduation liquidity is locked, permanently or on vesting schedules.
- Smart Launch
- The permissionless "safe launch" token pad: eight quote lanes, anti-snipe curves, guaranteed graduation into locked pools.
- Snipe
- Buying a specific Broker (your chosen token id) from the Anvil vault instead of a random one, for a higher fee (15% vs 10%).
- Stock tokens
- Robinhood Chain's onchain tokens tracking real equities (NVDA, TSLA, GME and ~190 more), tradeable 24/7. The reward menu and STORMM's underlyings.
- $STONKBROKER (STONK)
- The ecosystem token: backs every Broker at 666,666 each, pays activation fees, governs the vDEX, burns constantly. Full page: $STONKBROKER.
- Stonk Certificates
- Stock-backed bearer notes as NFTs with their own vaults; $2 flat fee, 95% cash-out.
- Stonk Exchange (vDEX)
- The community-governed DEX (live 29 Aug 2026) on the up. ve(3,3) engine, with $STONKBROKER holders and activated Brokers directing emissions.
- Stonk Launcher
- The curated launchpad (live 11 Aug 2026): bonding curves graduating into locked pools, 33/33/33 fee waterfall, Opening Bell Buybacks.
- STORMM / Leverage Machine
- The options engine on tokenised stocks, due September 2026: premium-capped buyer risk, LP-underwritten, Uniswap v4 hooks. Full page: STORMM.
- Tier
- An activation level (Base, T1-T4). Higher tiers cost more and carry more reward weight - at a progressively worse rate per token spent.
- up. / $UP / veUP
- The independent ve(3,3) DEX infrastructure powering the Stonk Exchange. Lock $UP as veUP to collect fees and vote on weekly emissions.
- ve(3,3)
- A DEX design (from Solidly/Velodrome lineage) where locked-token voters direct liquidity emissions and collect the fees of the pools they vote for.
- Weight
- A Broker's share factor in reward rounds, set by its activation tier (100x to 333x). Your cut of a round is your weight over everyone's total weight.
