Interns have a lot of people excited, and this has been an extremely pure product to develop for me. Simply building something and working on something that I am genuinely passionate about doesn't feel like work, it feels like play and I hope that emotion reflects on the product as well as its' efficacy.
So why do Interns exist?
The key is human to human relationships and spreading the ethos of StonkBrokers.
StonkBrokers works. Activated brokers pick the stock tokens and assets they want. Every round, the protocol fees get swapped into those picks, and the rewards land straight in each broker’s own wallet. The problem is simple: there are only 4,444 brokers, and the better the protocol does, the harder it gets to buy a seat.
Interns are how we let more people in without watering down the brokers. Every intern is created by an activated StonkBroker. The broker decides what cut of its revenue the intern gets, and the intern’s job title shows that cut to the whole world. Brokers are the senior desks. Interns are the next generation learning how to run one.
A cheaper way in. $20 in ETH plus 999
$STONKBROKER per intern for the first 24 hours, paid by the parent broker when it mints. Only the
$STONKBROKER side moves after that, up 10% a day for 10 days and then 1% a day for the next 365 days. After the mint, interns trade on the Intern Exchange at whatever the market says, so a new user can get their first seat in the eco for a fraction of a broker.
Learn by doing it. Interns run on the same rails as brokers. Same Clock In elections, same token bound wallets, same tools. Picking your stock token menu, activating a tier, market making a pool, locking liquidity. Intern owners do the work. They do not watch it.
The path to a broker. Interns who select
$STONKBROKER for their rewards will see a loading bar so they can watch as they DCA their way up to get enough tokens to secure their own StonkBroker NFT. The career ladder is built to graduate people. An intern owner who has learned the floor is the next StonkBroker holder, and a broker who trains two good interns earns more from the exact same revenue. We want every new user to become a StockFi and DeFi power player, and interns are the on ramp.
More to build on. A second collection, a second Clock In, an NFT exchange, the names marketplace for Robinhood Chain, and the V2 lending desk, all run by the interns. Every one of them is a new surface for developers building in the StonkBrokers eco.
When we trade tokens on chain we are all StonkBrokers.
