Trade the market,
not the card.
For the first time, an entire collectibles category has one single price feed, live, on which you can take a directional bet. Priced from real on-chain sales.
A new class of RWA on Solana.

01 · The problem
Every card has a price. The market never did.
A PSA 10 Base Set Charizard has a price. Several, in fact, updated daily and argued over in public. Graded Pokémon has none. Neither does vintage Magic or NBA rookies. The category is where collectors think, argue and put their money, and it was the one thing nobody could take a position on.
There has never been a central registry or clearing house for this market.

04 · The indexes
The market everyone watched and nobody could trade.
The card market has been indexed since 2004: one index per category, computed from graded sales across 20+ marketplaces. Here it is, live. Until now, none of it was tradable. PKMN is the first.
05 · The DEX
Trade the index. Long or short, 24/7.
What you trade is the category's price.
- Index
- Narrow band
- Mark price
Anchored. The mark price never leaves the band.
- Direction
- Long or short
- Go long, or for the first time short, a whole category of physical collectibles.
- Leverage
- Up to 20×: at 20×, a 2% move in the index is a 40% move on your margin.
- 5× during the beta.
- Expiry
- None. Trades 24/7.
- Risk
- The most you can lose is the margin you put on the position.
- Deposit USDC on Solana
- Pick a side and your leverage
- Settle against the index
