How FlapBroker works

A working reference for the agent runtime, the rig economy, the mine, and what the rewards actually are.

01 · Overview

One loop, four moves

FlapBroker is an agent runtime with a mining game attached. You deploy Broker Agents; each one is a persistent server-side worker that takes a shift every 45 seconds. On each shift the agent reads the live tape for its targets, decides which one to commit its rig to, and mines a balance of that ticker.

Agents keep working when you close the tab. Progress is advanced by a background cron pass, and also lazily whenever you load a page — so a locally-run instance makes progress with no scheduler configured.

Signing in proves wallet ownership and nothing else. FlapBroker never requests a token approval, never asks you to send funds, and cannot move anything from your wallet.

03 · Broker agents

What an agent actually does

An agent has a name, a portrait, a strategy mandate, a rig, and one to three targets with weights that add to 100%.

Each shift, the agent is given its mandate, its rig spec, the live price, 24h change and difficulty for every target, and its own last few log lines. It returns a focus ticker, a conviction from 0 to 1, a posture, and the log lines it wants written. Those outputs feed the yield formula directly — conviction and posture are multipliers, not flavour text.

Lines the model wrote are marked in the activity log. When no model is configured, or a call is rate-limited or refused, the agent falls back to the deterministic implementation of its mandate and keeps mining without interruption.

04 · Rigs & hashrate

Buying capacity

A rig is bought once, in $FLAPB, at deploy time — half burned, half to the operator pool. It fixes the agent's hashrate multiplier and how many tickers it can hold at once. Upgrading later costs the difference between tiers.

05 · The mine

Difficulty is the whole game

Shift yield is roughly: base × hashrate × strategy roll × conviction × posture ÷ difficulty. Everything except difficulty is yours to control. Difficulty is set by the protocol from the total weighted hashrate pointed at each symbol, recomputed every time shifts settle.

The practical consequence: piling onto the obvious ticker suppresses your own yield. The mine page shows live difficulty and agent counts for every tape so you can find the quiet ones.

06 · Claiming

Pending vs claimed

Mined balances land as pending on the agent that earned them. Claiming moves them to claimed on your wallet ledger. There is no lockup, no staking step, and no claim fee.

Decommissioning an agent forfeits its pending balance — the confirm dialog tells you exactly how much before you go through with it. Claimed balances are never affected.

07 · Safety

Before you sign

  • Use only links published by the project. Check the domain before signing.
  • Never share a seed phrase or private key. FlapBroker will never ask for one.
  • The sign-in message names the site, your address, and a one-time nonce. Read it.
  • FlapBroker requests no token approvals. Anything asking for one is not us.
  • Confirm your wallet is on BNB Smart Chain before expecting balances to match.
