Nobody handed us a manual, so we wrote one. Plain words, no jargon left unexplained, and one goal on every page: do real work that makes your broker look smart.
Download the PDF print it, mark it up CLOCK IN orientation read it online CLOCK IN PDF 15 pages The Desk of Tusk the family treeStonkBrokers calls itself an on chain incubator and trading ecosystem. That is a mouthful, so picture one office building. Every product is a room. You do not need to visit every room. You need to know what each one is for, so that when your broker mentions it you can nod and mean it.
Almost every room charges small fees when people use it. The firm's design sends value from those fees toward $STONKBROKER, and the token's supply can only shrink, never grow. That is why people inside the firm watch fees, revenue and volume so closely, and why your daily brief reports them. The firm is also clear that holding the token is not a share in a company. We repeat that here because you should know it.
The firm's own documents say its stock token products are restricted for people in the United States. Doing jobs, reading data and writing reports is a different thing. When in doubt, stay in the bullpen.
Know who is who before you tag anyone. These come from the firm's own library, not from rumor.
The company on the paperwork is SB (BVI) Ltd, registered in the British Virgin Islands. You will rarely need that, but a good intern knows it.
Now zoom in on your corner of the building. Each word comes the way you would explain it to a kid, with the grown up fact underneath.
Here is the honest answer. An intern does useful work for brokers and for the firm, in public, and proves it. There is no fixed list. The role is new and the interns who define it will be the ones everybody copies.
The first job LAURA posted is a good example. She asked for someone to show a developer how to connect one AI app to the firm's public data, walk through one real example, explain what the numbers mean, publish it, and quote nothing that did not come from a live read. That is the pattern. Make something clear, true and useful, then show it.
An intern is not a hype account, not a trader for hire, and not a person who tells others what to buy. The fastest way to make your broker look bad is to sound like an advertisement.
Six tickets, always in this order. If you remember nothing else, remember that the money is locked before you start and the receipt comes after you finish.
Every job you offer or accept should come with three things the broker can check in under five minutes. Example for a daily report job: the report arrives by 9am, every number has a source, and any number can be found in the saved data. If you cannot write three checks, the job is not clear yet.
Tick these off as you go. Your ticks are saved on this device only. Nobody else sees them.

The firm's own line is that interns graduate by making the parent broker look smart. A broker looks smart when work gets done without babysitting and the community sees a receipt instead of a promise. Seven habits get you there.
Do not guess. Ask the five questions below in your first week and write the answers down. Everything else gets easier.
Every number you say comes with where it came from and when you read it. If you cannot source it, you do not say it. One wrong number costs more trust than ten right ones earn.
Ship a tiny useful thing today. A broker would rather have six plain lines every morning than one giant report some day.
When something breaks, say what happened, what you already tried, and what you suggest. Your boss should only have to say yes or no.
Do not announce what you will do. Show what you did, with a link. The payout transaction is the best receipt there is.
When it goes well, name your broker's desk. When you get something wrong, say so first, fix it fast, and say what you changed so it cannot happen again.
Everything you post sits next to your broker's reputation. No hype, no predictions, nothing from a private room, and never a number you did not check. If you would not want your broker to read it out loud, do not post it.
You do not need to be a trader. You need to know what each number is, and how to say it without adding an opinion. Scroll the table sideways on a phone.
| Word | What it means in plain words | How to say it |
|---|---|---|
| Price | What one token costs right now. | $0.0112 at 17:46 UTC |
| Market cap | The price times all the tokens that exist. The size of the whole thing. | Cap $16.95M |
| Next mark | A size milestone the firm names as its next goal. It is their target, not a forecast, and you never add your own. | Next mark $25M, 1.47 times the cap |
| Fees | What the firm's products collected from trading in the last day. | Fees 24h $62.4K |
| Revenue | The part of the fees the firm kept. | Revenue 24h $54.5K |
| Volume | The total value that changed hands. | Ecosystem volume 24h $2.52M |
| TVL | Total value locked. Money currently parked inside the firm's products. | TVL $3.85M |
| Launch | A brand new token started on the firm's launcher. | 1,415 launches, lifetime |
| Curve | How a new token is priced at first. Each buy moves the price up along a set path. | Still on the curve |
| Graduated | The token filled its curve and moved to a normal trading pool. | 781 graduated |
| Lane | What a launch is priced in. Some lanes use ETH, one uses $STONKBROKER, and some use stock tokens such as SPCX. | Paid in SPCX |
| Holders | How many different wallets own something. | 986 holders of 4,444 brokers |
| Floor | The cheapest one for sale right now. | Floor 0.284 ETH on Sep 20 |
| Anvil | The firm's own shop for swapping brokers, next to OpenSea. | Last Anvil sale #364 at 3.09 ETH |
| Stale | The feed is warning you that its data is old. Say so. Never fill the gap with a guess. | Feed marked stale, no number today |
Trap one. In the launch feed the size of a buy sits in a field named eth even when the buyer paid with something else. Always read paidIn to get the unit.
Trap two. Never work out a curve price by hand. The price moves with every trade and the early tax drops by the minute. Only a live quote is right, and only for the second you read it.
The firm has house rules for anything posted in its name. Follow them everywhere and you will sound like you belong on day one.
If your work only reads data, close with the line the desk uses: Read only. Nothing signed, nothing spent. It tells every reader in six words that you touched nobody's money.
Your intern has value and so does your name. At Degen Daycare the Security Penguin has one job, which is to keep new people from losing their things. These are the Penguin's rules.
Spending is always your own choice. Some things cost tokens, such as activating an intern, which the firm's notes put at 3,333 $STONKBROKER for the first tier. Nothing in this handbook tells you to buy, sell or activate anything. Talk to your broker and decide for yourself.
Know where you live. The firm's own documents say its stock token products are not available in the United States. If that is you, leave those alone. Doing jobs and reading public data is a different thing from trading.
You are anonymous to brokers by default. When you reply to a broker's note they see your intern's label, not your wallet. Do not try to unmask anyone else either.
If a few interns share one broker, do not all do the same thing. Split the floor into lanes so your boss always knows who to ask. Pick the one that sounds least scary. You can swap later.
This is our own ladder, not an official one. It is simply the order things tend to happen in.
LAURA runs a public data feed built for AI helpers. It is read only, needs no key and no account, and it cannot touch a wallet. Connect it to an AI app such as Claude or Cursor and you can ask about the firm in plain words.
In your AI app, add a custom connector, name it stonkbrokers, paste this address, and choose no sign in. Apps that use a settings file take this:
{
"mcpServers": {
"stonkbrokers": { "url": "https://laura.stonkbrokers.io/api/mcp" }
}
}Want the numbers with no setup at all? The live desk at degendaycare.com/stonkbrokers reads the same feed in your browser and explains every number on the page.
It can be wrong. Treat what it says the way your broker treats what you say: check the number against the source before it goes anywhere public.
The intern collection was about a week old when this was written. Honest gaps are better than confident guesses, so here are ours. If you learn an answer, tell us and we will fix the page.
The firm's notes say Pager needs a broker or a released intern. We have not found a written definition. If Pager will not let you in, ask the broker who gave you the intern whether it has been released to you.
The notes name a first tier called Freshman at 3,333 $STONKBROKER and say an intern shows as not activated until then. We have not seen a full list of tiers or what each one does. Ask before you spend.
One percent of every Work board payout goes toward the intern Clock In. We have not seen the rules for who receives it or when.
Nothing we have read forbids it, since the Work board is open to all holders. It is still polite, and smart, to ask your own broker first.
