# The Deed Deck

3,888 playing cards, each an agent-bound wallet — the unit of participation in the Baum network.

The **Baum Deed Deck** is a collection of 3,888 NFTs. Each one is a playing card, and each card is a **Broker**. Each is an **ERC-721** with its own **ERC-6551 token-bound wallet**: a real onchain account that holds assets, executes transactions, and travels with the NFT when it is sold.

A Broker is the unit of participation in the Baum network. Its wallet is:

* the account Baum operates on your behalf (see [Baum Portal](/baum-portal/portal.md)),
* the place your points are earned (see [Earning points](/points-and-levels/points-and-levels.md)), and
* the address that receives [sub-DAO](/network/sub-daos.md) allocations.

## Lifecycle

1. [**Mint**](/baum-deed-deck/mint.md) — in the public mint for 0.03 ETH, on [OpenSea](https://opensea.io/collection/baum-deed-deck), or from the [vault](/baum-deed-deck/vault.md) with BAUM.
2. [**Activate**](/baum-deed-deck/activation.md) — pay a one-time BAUM fee to authorize a Baum instance on the wallet.
3. **Fund and work** — deposit into the wallet and pick [actions](/baum-portal/actions.md) in the Portal.
4. **Earn and level up** — accrue [points](/points-and-levels/points-and-levels.md), climb [levels](/points-and-levels/levels.md), receive sub-DAO allocations.
5. **Sell or redeem** — sell on the open market (level and traits travel with it), or redeem to the [vault](/baum-deed-deck/vault.md) for 50,000 BAUM.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.baumai.xyz/baum-deed-deck/brokers.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
