The Story of the Ravens

Ravens remember.

Long before there were Brokers, there were ravens. People have told stories about them for centuries tales of ravens returning to the people who had shown them kindness.

A farmer leaves food for a raven. Days later, it returns with a coin. A child feeds one by the window. Soon, a ring appears on the sill. Most people called these stories folklore.

The Brokers learned otherwise.

Ravens remember faces. They remember places. They remember kindness. And, most importantly, they remember who gave them a reason to return. That discovery became the foundation of the Raven Brokers.

3,333 Ravens

Today, only 3,333 Ravens will ever take flight. When the last one is bonded, the flock is complete and the sale closes. Each Raven has a different nature, a different potential, and a different journey. But they all share one remarkable habit: they leave and they come back.

Every day, your Raven disappears into the world. You don't know exactly where it goes. You don't know what it will find. And you certainly can't force it to return with something valuable. But when it comes back, it never comes empty-beaked. It brings Tribute.

Five classes of the flock

Not every Raven arrives with the same weight of Favor. The Brokers sorted the flock into five classes. When you mint, you choose which class to bond with. Each has its own supply, mint price, and daily $SHINY Favor. Higher classes cost more and return more from the first day.

Up to ten Ravens may bond to a single wallet. Choose carefully: class is fixed at mint, and Favor starts where that class begins.

The mint gift

Bonding a Raven is not empty ceremony. The moment the bond is sealed, your Raven carries a mint gift: 20% of its daily $SHINY Favor, ready for you to claim. It does not arrive in your wallet by itself; you go to Your Ravens and claim what it brought home.

The remaining 80% stays locked on the wing for 6 hours. When that countdown ends, the rest of the tribute unlocks. Claim it the same way. A Legendary may bring a larger gift than a Common, but every class follows the same rhythm: part now, part after the wait.

$SHINY

$SHINY is what your Raven brings back from its journeys: the visible proof that it returned. Claim the mint gift after you bond. Claim the remainder after six hours. Later, Hold Hours and Favor shape what else it can carry. $SHINY can be used to upgrade your Raven, search for rarer discoveries, customize how your Raven appears, and unlock opportunities within the growing ecosystem.

Hold Hours & Favor

The longer your Raven stays with you, the more your history together begins to matter. Every day you hold it, your Hold Hours grow. Every hour strengthens its Favor. And as that relationship develops, so does what your Raven can bring home.

A Legendary Raven may arrive with tremendous potential from day one. Yet a Common Raven that has spent months returning to the same Broker may have something a newly minted Raven cannot buy: history.

When a Raven changes hands, its history doesn't follow. Hold Hours stay with the Raven's Broker. The next Broker starts at zero.

The choice

You choose the class. You pay its price. You claim the gift it carries. You can't command a raven to favor you forever. You can only give it time, give it a reason to return, and let it decide, day after day, that coming back to you is worth it.

Every day, somewhere in the world, a Raven takes flight. You simply wait for the sound of wings. Because when your Raven returns, you never know what it will bring home.
