The schedule of vaults is complete

Correction, 22 August 2026This release, as issued, states that a vault “may be raised”. The Schedule of Vaults was corrected the same day and the correction governs. A vault's LEVEL is permanent and cannot be bought. What $CBOB buys is a TEMPORARY alteration of a vault's emissions, the weight it carries into a distribution, which lapses. The text below stands as it was issued. The Bank corrects forward and does not revise the record.
Statement of the Acting Chairman, read into the record 22 August 2026. Delivery page.

The Bank did not print today.

The schedule of vaults is complete. There are five. Your vault is assigned at activation, by fate, and may be raised.

Upgrades are settled in $CBOB. It is obtained from the Bank and from nowhere else.

The Schedule of Vaults, First Edition, is published in full and is to be read with Purposes and Functions.

There are five levels of member bank vault. Level One is the smallest and Level Five is the largest. A vault's level is assigned at activation, by fate, and it is permanent. It cannot be applied for, it cannot be appealed, and it cannot be bought.

Every level carries a weight, and weight is the only quantity that decides how a distribution is divided. A Level Five vault receives three times what a Level One vault receives from the same distribution. Not sixteen. The Bank is not a casino. The Bank is a bank.

The eighty five percent described in Section VI of Purposes and Functions is divided among activated vaults by weight. An unactivated vault carries a weight of zero, sits outside the denominator, and receives nothing. At every settlement the Bank publishes the count at each level and the sum of their weights, so that any member may do the division and arrive at the figure the Bank arrived at.

What $CBOB alters is a vault's emissions: the weight it carries into a distribution. An alteration is temporary. It holds for a period and then it lapses, and the vault carries the standard weight of its level again. $CBOB is obtained from the Bank and is obtained nowhere else.

The Schedule states five matters the Bank has not settled, in a section of its own, so that the reader is not required to guess and is not invited to assume.
