How it works
From a trade to a card in your wallet.
Every Pokémon in the dex gets exactly one coin, launched on pump.fun and paired with $Pokédex, the pad's own coin. Buying any Pokémon routes through $Pokédex by construction, and the trading fees turn into real graded cards for the people holding it. Here is every step, in plain words.
A trade on pump.fun
Every coin trades against $Pokédex and carries a 1% creator fee, buy and sell.
The fee is put to work
It goes to the Pokédex platform wallet and is spent on a fixed split. No creator cut.
70 / 15 / 10 / 5
Cards for holders, a burn of the coin itself, a burn of $Pokédex, and ops.
A slab is bought & sent
When the pot can afford one, a real graded card of that exact Pokémon is airdropped to a holder.
where the fee goes
Every fee, split four ways.
The same split for all 151, fixed at launch. 95% of every fee works for the coin and its holders; 5% is ours, and it says so right here.
The pot opens a pack.
The holders' 70% builds a pot. The moment it can afford a graded 9+ card of that exact Pokémon, it buys one, picked at random from every card it can afford, like opening a pack. Sometimes the $20 slab, sometimes the $200 one.
One holder's wallet, at random.
The card goes to one holder of that Pokémon, odds weighted by holding %: hold 2% of the supply, get a 2% shot at every drop. The draw uses a pre-committed blockhash, so nobody, us included, can steer it. You do nothing, no claiming, no forms. The card just arrives.
Every trade burns the coin itself.
15% of every fee buys the coin back on its own curve and burns it. A real burn, the supply goes down: the more a Pokémon trades, the scarcer it gets, and every buy is a public transaction anyone can check.
The pad's own coin burns too.
Fees arrive in $Pokédex, because every entry trades against it. 10% of every fee, from all 151 coins, is burned on the spot: no swap, no market order, just supply going down. The last 5% is ops: it pays for the servers and the desk that runs the buys, and it is the only part of the fee that is ours.
the quiet parts, out loud
What we will not dress up.
- A coin is not backed by cards and is not redeemable for them. The cards are a reward paid from fees, not a peg.
- Each coin's fees sit in a hot wallet the Pokédex operator holds, usually for minutes to hours, until the pot reaches a card.
- The pot accrues in $Pokédex and is sold at purchase time to pay for the card. That sale is real sell pressure on $Pokédex; the 25% burn slices and the routing of every entry buy through $Pokédex are the counterweight.
- Card prices are whatever sellers ask on Collector Crypt. The pad buys the cheapest graded 9+ that matches, and only the real vaulted asset.
- Collector Crypt holds the physical slabs and, by design, can freeze, move or burn a card NFT. That is how redemption works, and it is a trust point.
- Small coins earn small fees. A card costs about $15 and up, so a coin needs real volume before its first card appears.
