Welcome to the World of CyberBrokers

The Origin

CyberBrokers the company was founded by Josie Bellini, a leading “OG” cryptoartist who left the traditional finance world to create art that celebrates the crypto revolution. The project launched its inaugural “CyberBrokers” collection in March 2022, breaking records by becoming the most robust artwork ever stored on the Ethereum blockchain.

THE CyberBrokers Collection

This inaugural CyberBrokers collection is a series of 10,001 on-chain NFT collectibles that depict characters from our ongoing Lore and provide membership and access to various metaversal experiences. Every CyberBroker is a piece of art with varying traits and accessories, stored entirely on the Ethereum network. The art is composed of SVGs, a lossless compressed format that maintains full data integrity. All CyberBrokers can be reconstructed from data on-chain using both on-chain and off-chain decompressors, and will exist permanently within the Ethereum ecosystem, forever.

Importantly, the collection’s intersection of technology, storytelling, and art spoke to the world in a special way and has since cultivated a growing, passionate community and fandom of “brokers”.

Wren the Splash

TPL Mecha Part

Mecha Engine: Enforcer Class I

In reaction to imminent ecological disaster, the seven Corporate States attempted to forestall the inevitable, and in the process only made things that much worse. Instead of a world overcome by rising oceans and withering heat, Earth was plunged into an ice age which has lasted for over 200 years so far.
With the collapse of society, the remnants of humanity survive in isolated, self-sufficient enclaves with little else to do but fully immerse themselves in the digital world known as The Paradigm Lost. Here they can not only experience what life used to be like before the collapse, but can explore countless worlds beyond, chase every dream, enjoy every fantasy. Compared to cold, harsh reality, The Paradigm is the perfect escape.

Mecha Engine: Ravager Class II

A vast and diverse universe like The Paradigm is only made possible with the creativity of many individuals working together. This is why all CyberBrokers Lore is a collaborative effort between the CyberBrokers team and our community.
Led by our Creative Producer and written by our amazing, on-staff writer, CyberBrokers Lore is continually driven and influenced by our holders and fans through our Writer’s Room, Quests, Broker Auditions, polls, interactive activations, and events.

“Detesto mi trabajo”.
Spice suspiró al levantar su mirada hacia el montón de hielo gris con granizo que estorbaba en su camino. Esta semana le tocaba a ella quitar la nieve que había caído en los paneles solares afuera del recinto. Y, como era usual, parecía que la peor tormenta había esperado a que fuera su turno.
“¿Por qué las nevadas nunca caen cuando le toca limpiar a Sybil?”.
Resignada y desesperada por volver a su estación, Spice levantó una escoba, la tomó firmemente con sus guantes como si fuera una lanza, y comenzó a apuñalar con el plástico al montón de nieve que bloqueaba la entrada. A pesar de que la entrada estaba justo debajo de un voladizo se seguía apilando la nieve. Especialmente después de una grave tormenta.

Mecha Engine: Lupis Class IV

Spice slid back through the ice hole and slammed the outer door shut, sticking her tongue out in the process, taunting the cold and misery beyond. She was done with physical work for the day, and it was time to power up some fun.
Sweat dripped from her forehead as she stripped off the heavy parka and goggles. Spice hung the cold weather gear on a peg in the dressing room. Floor grates clanged, shaking condensation free, as she stomped across. The snow slid from her boots and drained out, collecting somewhere below as more raw material for the electrolysis engines powering the compound's life support systems.
Spice wrestled open the heavy door securing the damp corridors of stone and steel. Her footsteps echoed off the slate-colored walls as she walked, the sound punctuated by the occasional plop of condensed vapor. She had stripped down to her usual wicking tank-top and shorts, but it was still warm and sticky.
Come to find out, running all of the collective electronic equipment inside narrow, confined spaces produced a lot of heat. Heat that did a pretty solid job of melting snow. They vented the excess steam occasionally through those upper exhaust ports. Every hour or so, a crisp blast of icy air washed through the compound, refreshing the staleness and working to cool their internal systems at the same time.

Mecha Engine: Behemoth Class III

Mecha Engine: Nexus Class V

Splayed out before her, glittering with light, noise, and activity was her real home. The metaverse. Pink and purple neon lanced across electronic billboards and translucent holograms. Hovercars raced alongside glitch-white ghosts. Every street corner shilled a secret quest, puzzle, or bundled stimpack. To her left, two kaiju battled in the middle of Marvel Park. To her right, the entire Foster Building fired its rocket boosters and launched into space.
She may have been a nobody back in the physical world, huddled in dark, sweaty tunnels, but here among the madness, she was Mech Pilot Spice, Alpha Command 10. And, she was a badass.

TPL Mech Afterglow

Lore

background

The earth is frozen. Locked in a modern ice age. The world governments had come together with a plan to save humanity by moving everyone into the metaverse. It had been called "The Paradigm Shift". The first ten thousand volunteers, ready to light the way, were called CyberBrokers. Everything went wrong. Two centuries later, a complacent human race copes with a great awakening.

This is the story of The Paradigm Lost.

///////////////////

Chapter 001

Project Paradigm

Summary

When we last left Spice, she had just finished her grueling work day. Her job was to maintain the solar panels outside of her compound on the frozen tundra that was now Earth. Surrounded by frigid winds and bitter cold, her only solace in this new world was deep in the virtual bowels of her TPL headgear and vest. It's in the electric pink and purple glows of a neon-colored Metaverse where her friend, Ken, had eagerly awaited her return. Where he will always have to eagerly await her return because he's a CyberBroker, one of the inhabitants of the Metaverse, forever locked inside because of an accident in the early days of building TPL. No one knows if or when the CyberBrokers will be freed, but what Spice does know is that the Metaverse never disappoints in delivering adventure.

Unironic Ken

///////////////////

Chapter 002

Cowboy Up

Summary

Spice and Unironic Ken had learned about a DAO proposal to shift much of the day-to-day maintenance to be run by AI instead of CyberBrokers. Drifters (the majority population of The Paradigm Lost who log in for a few hours each day, drifting in and out of the Metaverse) would not be much affected, but if an AI ran TPL, it might calculate that the energy preserving the bodies of a mere 10,001 CyberBrokers would be better used in some other way. While CyberBrokers can safely dematerialize in TPL, if the plug gets pulled on their physical bodies, they'll d-mez forever.

Chapter 003

Valentine's Day

Summary

While chasing down a group of coin thieves at the top of Moss Falls, Spice decided she'd like to spend a little more leisure time with the Zinc, the Clean-up Crew Broker. Unironic Ken wasn't quite sure what he thought about the whole thing and turned a bit sour on the whole thing. Spice brought Zinc down with her to watch the Mech Pilot Olympics where she made an interesting discovery – Zinc had no real memories of his mother. From there, she started on a simple quest, aided by a group of friends, to dig a little deeper into the reasons why and maybe dig up a memory or two for him.

///////////////////////////////////////////

Chapter 004

Gimme a Hand

Summary

After tracking down surveillance data on Zinc's mother in a long-forgotten part of TPL, a pair of Demons attacked Spice for reasons unknown. With the aid of a Nun, she was able to narrowly escape back to the safety of Unironic Ken's apartment. But when she and Ken reviewed the hard-won biometric data that cost Spice her mech, Judgment, they discovered that both Zinc and Ken’s bios indicated the impossible. Both of their mothers were somehow Asherah. This led Spice to a shattering realization. Asherah is the program from which all brokers get their source code making CyberBrokers actually AI. Confused and upset at their discovery, Spice abruptly logged out of TPL, leaving behind an equally distraught Ken in his own existential crisis.

Zippy Vile

Chapter 005

A Second Date

Summary

Spice and Ken reveal the truth of the Paradigm to Zinc. He reacts nonchalantly to the reveal that brokers are AI and not, in fact, humans unable to return to their cryogenically-frozen bodies. To him, it’s irrelevant. As the only ones who seem to know the truth, they argue over what should be done. Zinc prefers diplomacy, Spice wants to broadcast the news direct to everyone, but it is Ken's suggestion which wins out. Covertly, they organize mass protests which culminate in thousands of brokers and Drifters marching on the Merkle Tree - the center of power in Era Novum. With protestors growing increasingly passionate, and Politicians deploying fearsome Samurai to protect themselves, a violent clash seems inevitable.

chapter 006

Catching a ride

Summary

The protests erupted into violence at the Merkle Tree when the Samurai held their ground and the protestors fought back. When it became apparent that safe mode has been disabled in Era Novum, the city descended into anarchy. Almost robbed by a wily gambler on her way to find Zinc, Spice managed to outwit him before getting back on the road. Once reconciled, she and Zinc discussed the clash at the Merkle Tree and wondered where Unironic Ken might be. Just as they were about to decide what to do next, Spice was violently torn out of the Paradigm.

///////////////////////////////////////////

Chapter 007

Failsafe Alpha

Summary

When Spice’s entire compound is kicked out of the Paradigm due to a Failsafe Alpha, she’s certain it’s no accident. As everyone performs their emergency duties, Spice decides to set off into the snow in search of P.O.S.T., a device that will let her send a message back into TPL. Unironic Ken and Zinc receive her message, and it’s shortly followed by another from someone calling themselves ‘The Moderator’. This mysterious figure promises to help, leading them to information regarding a group calling themselves ShaDAO, who are behind the Failsafe Alpha. With the location of the device causing the kick, and only 100 blocks left to destroy it, Ken and Zinc attempt to infiltrate the ShaDAO facility and get Spice back into the Paradigm.

Chapter 008

Bruises

Summary

Zinc and Ken successfully destroyed the Failsafe Alpha-triggering device keeping Spice out of TPL. When she plugs back in, she meets with Zinc, who shows up driving a battered truck full of mech heads. He explains that ShaDAO, a secretive organization far more powerful than anyone realizes, was behind it all. Their goal seems to be 51% control of the Paradigm. Zinc also breaks more bad news to Spice: ShaDAO captured Ken. They meet with Ken’s friend, a Spectre named Catch of Wolfe, and she tells them about a potential lead in the city of Magnetic. With jump stations compromised due to the protests (and potential interference from ShaDAO), she gives her car to them for the trip.

Catch from Wolfe

Chapter 009

Three of a kind

summary

Spice and Zinc visited Magnetic to follow up on a lead regarding ShaDAO, who have captured Unironic Ken. Though the lead has gone cold, The Moderator contacts them once again with a name: Soleia. They meet with her and discover that she is a Smuggler who lost some of her memories from long ago. Employing the help of a Gene Editor to retrieve fragments of these memories, they learn that Soleia had been taken to a ‘cold place’, as well as the importance of the Hubur Key. Figuring that Unironic Ken must also have been taken there, they decide to retrieve the Key by each d-mezzing the three brokers who hold it in their multi-sig wallet - a difficult and complex operation. They succeed, and it is Soleia who ends up taking the Key.

Chapter 010

Leap of faith

summary

After picking up the Hubur Key, Soleia finds herself face-to-face with her long and closely-held fears about her lost memories. As she ruminates on the weight of keeping her anguish hidden all this time, she makes her way to the meeting spot. But a suspicious hovercar delay turns out to be a ploy to ensnare her. With some quick-thinking and brave acrobatics among the skyborne traffic of Era Novum, Soleia manages to escape. Eventually she finds her way to a mech garage, where Spice and Zinc are waiting for her, eager to decide what to do next.

Chapter 011

Chapter 013

Chapter 014

Recollections

Since visiting a Gene Editor in order to restore her memories, Soleia has struggled to recall much beyond the Hubur Key and a cold place, let alone the reasons or meaning behind them. After she brings the Key back to Spice and Zinc, the group attempts to decide what they should do next. As they relax in the safety of her garage, Spice tells the brokers about life outside the Paradigm. Speaking of the ice and snow triggers something in Soleia, and another memory comes to the forefront. The name of the place she was taken to: Cold Storage.

Legwork

After her sudden recollection of Cold Storage, where she lost her memories, Soleia also remembers Mason from Silent, an Enforcer who worked there. The Moderator gives Spice, Zinc, and Soleia black market data on OnlyCam users, which includes Mason. They track down Stockpile Quotidian, a Cammer who interacted often with Mason, and Stockpile agrees to try and extract some information from the Enforcer. She succeeds and gives the crew a node address for Cold Storage. With the help of an Astronomer named Thamas, they learn that ShaDAO occupies a fortress there built by the Puzzlemaster Selena Nebulous. Posing as superfans of her work, they meet her with the goal of getting some information on the fortress. Selena agrees to give them the blueprints, if they can perform the seemingly-impossible task of beating Team FOMO at a Fukutsu-sponsored competition. At the very last moment, they defeat Team FOMO, and with the blueprints in hand, they concoct three strategies for infiltrating the fortress at Cold Storage. Spice’s plan of finding and exploiting one of the fortress’ employees is the winner.

Snow Crashed

Spice, Zinc, and Soleia use the Hubur Key to jump into Cold Storage and quickly discover that it is a brutally cold and harsh environment–not unlike Spice's reality. After guiding the overwhelmed brokers through a blizzard, Spice sets about executing her plan. Through reconnaissance, they identify Koda Trundle Xander as a suitable candidate. They hijack the newly-employed Chemist and his Snowspeeder of valuable chemicals, using his fear of the Hubur Key to get him to comply.

Special Delivery

With a ShaDAO Chemist named Koda Trundle Xander's help, Spice, Zinc and Soleia sneak into the Cold Storage fortress. Using the blueprints secured from Selena Nebulous, they track down where ShaDAO is keeping Unironic Ken. They find him sedated in a pod, hooked up to some sort of machine. The team then begins the careful work of extracting Ken from the machine, by sorting through his memories, knowing that the choices they made during extraction may forever alter his memories and his personality. Though successful in finally getting him unhooked from the memory altering machine, the Ken that emerges from the pod is filled with rage about what ShaDAO has done to him, and his time in the pod in Cold Storage has made him overly aggressive. With little time to explain to Ken what has happened before being ambushed, Soleia quickly jumps them out of Cold Storage. But something is wrong...
