How it works

From a trade to a card in your wallet.

Every pirate in the dex gets exactly one coin, launched on pump.fun and paired with $GrandLine, the pad's own coin. Buying any pirate routes through $GrandLine by construction, and the trading fees turn into real graded One Piece cards for the people holding it. Here is every step, in plain words.

Trade

A trade on pump.fun

Every coin trades against $GrandLine and every buy and sell pays a creator fee.

Collected

The fee is put to work

It accrues on-chain to that entry's own treasury. No anonymous creator skimming it.

The pot

Most of it buys cards

The treasury's job is the card pot; smaller slices burn supply and fund ops.

Card

A slab is bought & sent

When the pot can afford one, a real graded card of that exact pirate is airdropped to a holder.

where the fee goes

Every fee, four jobs.

The same recipe for all 100 entries, fixed at launch: the lion's share of every fee builds the card pot, a slice buys back and burns the coin itself, a slice burns $GrandLine, and a small cut is ops. The exact numbers are published on-chain with the first launches, and every movement is a public transaction.

The card pot
The biggest slice. It accrues until it can afford a graded card of that exact pirate, then buys it and drops it on a holder.
Coin buyback & burn
A slice buys the coin back on its own curve and burns it. Supply goes down as the entry trades.
$GrandLine burn
Fees arrive in $GrandLine, because every entry trades against it. A slice burns on the spot.
Ops
The smallest cut. It pays for the servers and the desk that runs the buys, and it says so right here.
The pack

The pot opens a pack.

The holders' slice builds a pot. The moment it can afford a graded card of that exact pirate, it buys one, picked at random from every card it can afford, like opening a pack. Sometimes the $20 slab, sometimes the $500 one.

The airdrop

One holder's wallet, at random.

The card goes to one holder of that pirate, 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.

the vault

Real slabs, in a real vault.

The cards come from Collector Crypt, a Solana marketplace where every listing is a physical graded card (PSA, CGC, BGS, TAG) sitting in an insured vault, tokenized one-to-one as an NFT and redeemable for delivery of the physical slab. We scanned the vault: 27,791 One Piece cards, from $1 commons to five-figure alt arts. The dex ranks the 100 pirates by that inventory, so every entry has real cards behind it before it ever launches.

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 GrandLine operator holds, usually for minutes to hours, until the pot reaches a card.
  • The pot accrues in $GrandLine and is sold at purchase time to pay for the card. That sale is real sell pressure on $GrandLine; the burn slices and the routing of every entry buy through $GrandLine are the counterweight.
  • Card prices are whatever sellers ask on Collector Crypt. The pad buys the cheapest graded card 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. Listed One Piece cards start around a dollar, but a coin still needs real volume before its first card appears.
