Bureau memo · do not copyRef. BF-0000

Every legend starts as a rumor.

There is a bureau with no name and no address. It keeps a file on everyone who moves the market from the dark: the whales, the insiders, the ones who pull the rug and vanish before the candle closes.

The people who work there have no names either. Only files. Stamped by clearance, sealed in wax, stacked in a vault that nobody is supposed to find.

The vault is full now. 3,333 files. Most are field agents in trench coats who work the rain and the neon. A few carry gold. Ten are stamped BLACK, and those ten are the ones the rumor is really about.

Tonight the files open.

CLASSIFIED
File 01 · rarity

Five clearance levels

Every agent has ten traits. Rank is how rare those traits are, added up. The rank decides the stamp on the file.

File 02 · clearance black

The Black Ten

Ten one-of-one files, shuffled into the stack like any other. Nobody knows which numbers they are, us included, until the files open. Faces stay redacted until someone pulls them.

File 03 · the archive

Pull a file

A small sample from the stack. The rest stays sealed until the mint.

agent

Every pair of agents differs in at least three of the nine major traits. No file is another file with different eyes.

File 04 · valuables

What's rare

Gold sits at the top of the stack. These are the scarcest traits outside the Black Ten, who carry things nobody else has: a gold face, a crown, a diamond monocle, a half-chrome face.

File 05 · procedure

How it works

Dates, price and the contract address get published here and on X first. Anything else is not us.

01

Sealed files

You mint a sealed file. All 3,333 open at the same moment when the mint closes, so nobody can pick through the stack for the rare ones.

02

Committed in advance

The hash below is the fingerprint of every image in token order. It is published before the mint, so the order cannot be changed afterwards. Not by you, not by us.

03

Apply for clearance

Sign in with X on the apply page, complete the file (follow, repost, quote, reply), and the Personnel Department reviews it. Every task is checked against X, not against a screenshot. Cleared files get a number and register a wallet.

04

Find the Ten

A live board for the ten BLACK files: not yet found, until someone pulls one. The Director is in there somewhere.

FAQ

What is this?

A collection of 3,333 pixel noir agents, 48 by 48, each one different. It is art and a story. It is not an investment product and nothing here is financial advice.

Which chain?

Robinhood Chain. The contract address will be posted here and on X before the mint. If you see an address anywhere else first, it is not ours.

When and how much?

Not announced yet. Follow on X.

How do I get on the allowlist?

Crack the File. The Bureau posts ciphers, you decode them and reply. Spots go to solvers.

Can the team keep the rare ones?

No. The order is fixed by the provenance hash before the mint and files open for everyone at once. The Ten are shuffled into the stack with everything else.

Are two agents ever the same?

No. All 3,333 images are unique, and every pair differs in at least three of the nine major traits.
