Activity becomes purchasing capacity
The capital flow
The Stock Pot is where protocol fees become purchasing capacity for tokenized stocks.
It is one of the two pots that fund an epoch. The Stock Pot handles the fee side and produces tokenized stocks; the Works Pot handles the mint side and produces a burn plus a $WORKS distribution. They are funded separately and settle together.
One defined responsibility
What the Stock Pot does
The Stock Pot gathers the fees assigned to protocol-funded asset purchases. It is distinct from Machine weight: fees determine the size of the purchasing pool, while weight determines how the resulting epoch output is divided.
- Protocol fees
- The capital input assigned to the Engine Works purchasing mechanism.
- Stock Pot
- The epoch purchasing capacity built from protocol fees.
- Epoch output
- The tokenized stocks purchased for weight-based distribution.
From capital to assets
Tokenized-stock purchases
During the production cycle, the Stock Pot funds tokenized-stock purchases. Purchased assets form the distributable output for the epoch and flow toward eligible active Machines at settlement.

The Reserve interface
Reserve is the product module for Stock Pot value, accumulated fees, purchases, composition, allocation, and the purchase ledger. It presents verified protocol state without creating positions or synthetic history.
