Ok seriously, if you are building a game or any consumer app on @Solana or crypto, you are a true hero I’ve been where you are and I know how hard it is to build something off the mainstream in crypto The failure rate will be high but a single winner can change the industry 🫡
Building for the @pumpfun hackathon. We rebuilt how card trading works. The current experience is broken. You scroll through chaotic Discord channels, hope someone sees your offer, DM back and forth only to find out they don't even want your cards. It wastes your time and kills the fun of collecting. So we built a Swipe interface to fix it. How it works: ✦ Input your Haves and your Wants ✦ Our algorithm serves you a clean feed of cards ✦ You only see cards from traders who want what you have and have what you need ✦ Swipe left to pass. Swipe right when you see a match. Algorithmic exact-matching. No guessing. No wasted DMs. When you match: ✦ Instant "Match Found" screen ✦ Jump straight into a direct conversation ✦ Custom card-picker built into the chat. Select your offer and send a visual trade request in 3 clicks without leaving the thread. We basically built Tinder for Pokémon card trading. And it actually works. Full walkthrough in the video 👇
PGL Dev Update: introducing Aura ✨ We built a native reward system directly into the PGL App. The idea is simple: reward you for doing what you already love, trading, collecting, competing. How you earn Aura: ✦ Claim 50 free Aura every 24 hours from the top bar ✦ Complete trades ✦ Add your first 10 cards to your binder ✦ Refer friends Everything tracked. Fully transparent. How you spend it - the Aura Store: ✦ Single Card Hunt Boost (200 Aura) Pushes your offer to the top of the queue for 6 hours. Find your match faster. ✦ Collection Boost (800 Aura) Gives your entire binder priority visibility for a full 24 hours. Your edge if you're trading a lot. ✦ High-Roller Ticket (1k Aura) Didn't qualify for a special high-stakes tournament? Your daily activity in the app can earn you a ticket straight in. We put effort to create actual tools that make your trading and competitive experience better. Full walkthrough in the video 👇 More coming 🙌
An open letter to every competitive Pokémon TCG Pocket player. At Pokémon EUIC in London, Chris Brown, Pokémon's Director of Global Esports & Events, was asked about the future of competitive TCG Pocket. His answer: "With Pocket, what feels great for us right now is the Side Events, a casual way for people to meet up. There are no plans for it to be a main title." No competitive scene. No ranked system. No esports. Just "a casual way for people to meet up." Let that sit for a moment. This is a game with 150M+ downloads. $1.3B+ in revenue. 2 billion battles played. The most successful mobile TCG launch in history. And the official position is: keep it casual. Meanwhile, last weekend, 1,172 players from 45+ countries competed in a PGL tournament for $1,500 in prizes. 3,338 matches played in 2 days. Nobody asked permission. Nobody waited for an official circuit. The players decided this game deserved a competitive scene. So they built one. PGL has been running tournaments for over a year. Thousands of matches. A community of players who take this game seriously, because someone should. Now we're building the app. The full infrastructure that TCG Pocket was always missing. Nintendo built the game. We're building the sport. This isn't a protest. This is just reality, the best players in the world needed a home, and the people who made the game decided not to build one. So we did. If you've ever felt like the competitive side of this game was being ignored, you're not wrong. And you're not alone. Welcome to PGL. The league that was never supposed to exist, built by the players who refused to stop competing. 🏆 @pglfun
