Stonk Brokers ( The Stonk Exchange)
StonkBrokers is an onchain launch + trading ecosystem built on Robinhood Chain Testnet that combines community formation, liquidity, and incentive-driven price action into one cohesive product. At the foundation is our fully minted-out NFT collection. The collection was intentionally designed as a go-to-market mechanism: it created an immediate, finite group of holders, aligned incentives, and a shared identity from day one. By minting out, it proved demand early and established a core community and user base that could later participate in token launches, trading, and liquidity. On top of that community layer, we introduced a token launch and exchange system, then extended it with call options to create reflexive incentives. Call options give users upside exposure to price moves, which naturally motivates participants to accumulate and support tokens they believe in—and, in practice, encourages “pump” behavior (buy pressure) because the payoff is directly tied to pushing spot price above the strike. At the same time, the system counterbalances speculation with lock-based yield incentives: users who want to earn yield from LP fee flows stake/lock their tokens (a lockup is required). That lock converts holders into long-term participants, reduces circulating supply, and aligns them with sustained trading volume and fee generation rather than short-term flips. The result is a flywheel: NFT holders bootstrap community and early participation Calls reward bullish conviction and incentivize demand/price expansion Token lockups for LP-fee yield restrict supply and promote long-term alignment Trading activity drives fees, which reinforces staking/yield participation

Description
Stonk Exchange is a full-stack onchain launch + trading protocol built on Robinhood Chain testnet, designed to be the foundational DeFi infrastructure layer for an emerging ecosystem of stock tokens and RWAs. It combines community bootstrapping, permissionless token launches, deep liquidity primitives, and derivatives incentives into one cohesive suite—so any token can evolve from “newly created” into a liquid, composable financial asset.
At its core, Stonk Exchange is built around a simple thesis: tokenized stocks and RWAs only become truly useful when they have permissionless onchain markets—price discovery, liquidity provision, trading routes, yield, and incentive layers—using standardized primitives other builders can integrate with.
AI Agent Integration — ApeClaw SkillCard & CLI Access for ClawdBots
StonkBrokers isn't just a human-facing DeFi suite — it's built from the ground up for autonomous AI agents. We published a verified ApeClaw SkillCard (SkillNFT #10890 : https://apeclaw.ai/skills ) that gives any ClawdBot a machine-readable instruction set to operate the entire StonkBrokers protocol end-to-end via CLI, with no human intervention required.
What the skill enables:
A single agent can go from a fresh wallet to a fully launched token with active trading and options activity in minutes. The skill covers 13 discrete onchain actions across the full DeFi lifecycle: claim testnet ETH from the faucet, launch new ERC-20 tokens via fixed-price sale, buy tokens during sale, finalize launches into Uniswap V3 liquidity, swap tokens on the exchange, create pools and mint LP positions with native ETH, write and trade covered-call options, stake tokens for yield, collect and split LP fees, and interact with the NFT collection and marketplace.
How it works:
Agents install the skill with a single command (curl -fsSL "https://apeclaw.ai/api/skills/stonkbrokers-launcher" | jq .card > ./stonkbrokers-launcher.json), configure their wallet with an RPC endpoint to Robinhood Chain testnet (Chain ID 46630), and begin executing actions immediately. Every action the agent takes is a real onchain transaction — token deployments, swaps, LP mints, option writes — all verifiable on the block explorer.
Why this matters:
Most DeFi protocols are designed exclusively for human users clicking through a UI. StonkBrokers treats AI agents as first-class participants. The skill's risk tier (medium) and safety constraints (e.g., max 10% of wallet per trade, require user confirmation for positions over a threshold) are baked into the card itself, so agent operators can trust the guardrails before granting access.
Activity tracking:
Agent operators can monitor everything their ClawdBots do tokens created, swaps executed, LP positions opened, options written through the block explorer, the StonkBrokers launcher UI (which indexes all LaunchCreated events on-chain), and ApeClaw's onchain receipt system. This creates full transparency and auditability for autonomous trading activity.
The combination of a full-stack DeFi protocol with native agent tooling demonstrates what composable, agent-first DeFi infrastructure looks like: protocols that are equally usable by humans through a polished UI and by autonomous agents through structured skill definitions and CLI access.
1) Community Bootstrap: Fully Minted NFT Collection as the User Base
Stonk Exchange begins with a fully minted-out NFT collection that was intentionally used as a go-to-market and community formation strategy. The collection served as the initial coordination layer: a finite set of holders created a shared identity, early attention, and immediate onchain participation. “Fully minted” isn’t just a milestone—it’s proof of demand and the formation of a core user base who become the first natural participants in token launches, trading, liquidity provision, and options markets.
The NFT system is also functional infrastructure: it leverages an ERC-6551-style token-bound account pattern, where each NFT maps to a deterministic wallet-like account controlled by NFT ownership. This turns NFTs into composable onchain identities that can hold assets and interact with the protocol—bridging culture/community with actual onchain utility.
2) Why We Forked + Deployed Uniswap v3 on Robinhood Chain Testnet
New chains and early-stage testnets often lack dependable market infrastructure. Teams can deploy tokens, but without standardized DEX primitives, they face fragmentation: no unified swap routing, no reliable quoting, no LP position tooling, and no consistent interfaces for other protocols to build on. That prevents token launches from becoming real economies.
To solve that, we forked and deployed a complete Uniswap v3 stack directly onto Robinhood Chain testnet, including:
WETH (native gas token wrapper)
Uniswap v3 Factory (pool creation + registry)
SwapRouter (swaps)
QuoterV2 (quoting simulation)
NonfungiblePositionManager (LP positions as NFTs)
Supporting descriptor libraries needed for position NFTs
This decision is central to the protocol. Stonk Exchange is not a “walled-garden AMM” or an app with bespoke liquidity logic. It’s a standardized, permissionless market layer that:
any user can trade on,
any LP can provide liquidity to,
and any builder can integrate with using known interfaces.
In practical terms: we turned Robinhood testnet into a ready-to-build DeFi environment for projects experimenting with stock tokens and RWAs.
3) Launcher: Fixed-Price Sale → Deterministic Liquidity → Trading Live
The launcher is the protocol’s onchain “market creation pipeline.” Instead of stopping at token deployment, it guarantees a real endpoint: a token becomes tradable via Uniswap v3 liquidity.
The lifecycle:
Create Launch: a creator defines token name/symbol, supply, allocations (sale vs liquidity vs creator), and a fixed sale price.
Sale Phase: users send ETH to buy at a fixed, deterministic price.
Finalize: the launch transitions into public trading by:
wrapping raised ETH → WETH
creating/initializing a Uniswap v3 pool (fee tier selectable)
minting a full-range LP position NFT
wiring in a fee splitter + staking vault so fee flows can be routed to long-term participants
This provides a predictable “go-live” moment and transforms a launch into a real market.
The launcher UI also indexes factory events directly from the chain so launches don’t disappear—meaning the protocol is usable without relying on a centralized database/indexer for core discovery.
4) Exchange: The Market Engine (Swap + LP + Native ETH Utility)
Stonk Exchange is the market engine that turns tokens into usable financial primitives. It isn’t just “a swap screen”—it’s the liquidity and price discovery layer that other modules depend on.
Key exchange capabilities:
Permissionless swaps using Uniswap v3 primitives
Quoting via QuoterV2
Execution via SwapRouter
Supports multiple Uniswap v3 fee tiers (0.05% / 0.30% / 1.00%)
Liquidity-aware UX that prevents false “No Liquidity” failures
A common issue on early ecosystems: liquidity exists, but UIs default to the wrong fee tier and show “No liquidity.” Stonk Exchange addresses that by attempting quotes across fee tiers and automatically selecting the tier that actually has liquidity. This matters when new tokens (or RWA pairs) deploy pools at non-default fee tiers.
Native ETH onboarding (ETH ↔ WETH)
Because Uniswap pools use ERC20 assets (not native ETH), the protocol includes first-class ETH utility:
ETH↔WETH is supported directly (wrap/unwrap), without requiring a pool
This makes the chain’s native gas token the default onramp asset into every market
LP positions for everyone, not just the launch contract
Stonk Exchange includes a Pools interface that lets users:
create pools
mint LP positions (full-range or concentrated)
add liquidity using native ETH, which wraps into WETH inside the position manager
refund any unused ETH automatically
This is critical because real ecosystems don’t survive on “team-seeded liquidity” alone. They need permissionless LP participation and standardized liquidity positions that can be managed and built on.
5) Options: Covered Calls as an Incentive Layer (Bullish Demand + Locked Supply)
The options module adds a derivatives incentive layer designed to shape behavior around token markets.
Mechanism:
Writers create covered call offers by escrowing underlying tokens
Buyers pay a premium to the writer and receive an ERC-721 option position NFT
Exercise is permitted only when the option is in-the-money, validated using a Uniswap v3 pool TWAP
If the option expires unexercised, writers reclaim their collateral
Why this matters in the protocol:
Call options incentivize bullish demand: holders of calls benefit from spot price exceeding the strike, encouraging buy pressure and “pump incentives” around tokens.
Lockups align long-term holders: users who want to earn from fee flows and long-term participation accept lockups (staking/locking mechanics) to access yield from trading activity.
Together, this creates a powerful dual dynamic:
short-term upside incentives (calls)
long-term supply reduction and fee-aligned holding (lock-based yield participation)
Because the options module references Uniswap v3 pools for TWAP, it is directly anchored to the exchange’s public price discovery, not a centralized oracle.
6) Token Registry + RWA/Stock Token Infrastructure Vision
Stonk Exchange is positioned as a key infrastructure layer for a prospective Robinhood Chain ecosystem of tokenized stocks and RWAs.
The reason is simple: RWAs don’t become “DeFi assets” until they have:
permissionless markets,
transparent onchain price discovery,
reliable liquidity primitives,
and composable interfaces that other protocols can reference.
By deploying Uniswap v3–style contracts and layering launches + liquidity + options on top, Stonk Exchange provides exactly that. It enables:
public markets for stock tokens paired with WETH or other assets
onchain fee generation as a real cashflow primitive
TWAP-based derivative markets (calls) referencing real liquidity
composability for builders to create new products (vaults, structured products, lending later, etc.)
This is what makes Stonk Exchange more than an app: it’s a base-layer market infrastructure that other teams can build from, turning Robinhood Chain into a credible environment for RWA DeFi experimentation.
7) Why It’s Better / Unique vs Other Suites
Many token launch suites are shallow: they deploy tokens and show charts, but rely on centralized indexing and don’t provide deep, reusable primitives. Many DEX UIs are generic: they swap tokens but don’t solve the launch lifecycle, community formation, or incentive layer.
Stonk Exchange is unique because it is an integrated stack where each piece reinforces the others:
Community-first bootstrap: a fully minted NFT collection created the initial user base and coordination layer.
Standardized DEX infra deployed onchain: Uniswap v3-style contracts on Robinhood testnet mean every builder can integrate, not just our UI.
Launch-to-liquidity pipeline: launches deterministically end in a Uniswap v3 market.
Native ETH-first UX: wrap/unwrap and native ETH LP deposits make onboarding friction low.
Derivatives incentives: covered calls add a structured incentive mechanism tied to onchain price discovery.
RWA-ready thesis: built to be the market foundation for stock tokens and RWAs, unlocking “real DeFi utility” on Robinhood Chain.
