My goal is to make every single collector make use of their $TCG collection.

And every player have a use case for their collection.

Only the beginning😉

Lending is risk-free:
Your card never leaves your custody
The game only reads its stats.
You set it to lend, your borrower plays, you take a cut of their winnings.

Reclaim it anytime. Zero downside, pure upside.

The model is simple and powerful: people who hold cards earn by letting others earn.

People without cards earn by playing with borrowed ones.
Every card in the ecosystem produces yield, and the door is open to everyone.

Update soon, turn on notifications 🔔

Alot of shipments during the night.

After a lot of feedback me and my team is working on shipping new high quality mechanics and updates to make $TCG accessible for people WITH or WITHOUT cards.

Will update asap!

[TCG Arena @PlayTCGArena]

Website updated!

Coming next: rotating formats, vintage, modern, type-restricted.

Each season spotlights different cards, so the meta keeps shifting and your whole collection stays relevant.

[Rooter @dacrooter]

The future is on @solana

Can't wait to showcase my product on the next solana breakpoint!

It all started there.

[mert @mert]

solana is at the frontier of

- futarchy
- spot trading, market structure, and HFT
- scaling
- consumer
- startups, talent & founder support

and now has a clear roadmap to fix its main weaknesses in perps, privacy, predictions, and monetary policy

off to the races

[Rooter @dacrooter]

right now, playing @PlayTCGArena means owning tokenized slabs, that's a small group. rentals + free mode change that.

card rentals: battle with grails you don't own, while owners earn passive yield on cards just sitting in their wallet. every card in the ecosystem starts producing whether the owner plays or not.

free mode: learn the game with zero risk, then bring your own collection once you're hooked.

the goal is simple, open the arena to everyone, not just the people who already collect onchain.

Update soon.

[TCG Arena @PlayTCGArena]

Coming to TCG Arena: card rentals.

Don't own the grail you want to battle with?
Rent it. Own one you're not using?
Lend it and earn.

Every card in the ecosystem starts working, whether you play or not.

Soon: anyone can play.

A free starter mode lets you battle with loaner cards, no slabs required.

Learn the game, then bring your own collection and start earning.
The arena opens to everyone.

Coming soon.

The $TCG Arena is open for trading.

Hold 1,000 $TCG to play, then battle with the cards you own — in free games or SOL-wagered matches where the winner takes the pot. Every game earns points, and each epoch your points pay out a share of a SOL reward pool.

Multipliers boost your yield: win streaks, ranked wins, upset bonuses, and wagered games.

Your rank, leaderboard position, activity, and $TCG held all raise your dividend rate.

The first game that makes your onchain cards playable. Battle, compete, earn.

[Rooter @dacrooter]

Very nice!

More to come

[TCG Arena @PlayTCGArena]

Attention whales.
$TCG launched on @MeteoraAG.

Add liquidity to the $TCG pool and we'll stack a bonus multiplier on your dividend yield — on top of everything you already earn from playing.

More liquidity for $TCG, more SOL for you. LP up.

A reminder on how yield works:
Every game earns points. Each epoch, points pay out a share of a SOL reward pool. Your rank, activity, $TCG held, and now LP all multiply your dividend rate.
Play, hold, provide liquidity — earn SOL.

Payouts are flowing. Every epoch, players earn SOL based on their points no staking, no lockups.

pokémon cards keep printing new ATHs. gaming tokens keep pumping. solana keeps leading volume.

and i'm sitting here building the one product at the intersection of all three.
sometimes the timing just lines up.

I appreciate all the great feedback in dms!

Keep them coming, I have many more updates coming to improve the game.

One update is coming tonight.
Will update you guys in a few hours, for now, ask me anything!

[Rooter @dacrooter]

unpopular take: most "p2e games" were never games. they were spreadsheets with nice art and a token to dump.
i'm built an actual game that happens to pay you. the order matters.

And I have many more ideas and updates coming ASAP for post launch.

First off, I need more marketing for my product and more players!

[TCG Arena @PlayTCGArena]

The first game where the tcg cards in your wallet actually fight.
onchain. play to earn. on @solana.
You've never seen your cards do this. ⚔️

Three of the hottest narratives in crypto — and we're building at the center of all three.
imagine your grail finally winning you something.

soon. 🏆

[Rooter @dacrooter]

people keep asking "isn't this just gambling?"
no. gambling is the gacha pull. this is a skill game with stakes, closer to poker or chess for money.
the whole difference is whether outplaying someone matters. here, it does.

TCG Arena:
Battle with the cards you own, earn points every game → points pay out passive yield every epoch.

It’s not about the most expensive card, it’s about the smartest plays.
Outplay > outspend. ⚔️

How TCG Arena works 🎴
hold an entry fee of 1,000 TCG to play → battle with the cards you actually own → free games or SOL-wagered pot games → winner takes the pot & generates higher yield.

The yield:
Every game earns points. each epoch pays out dividends every 24h, those points pay out a SOL reward pool, your share = your points with different multipliers for your yield.
Your rank, leaderboard status, and activity boosts your dividend rate.

The more you play and win, the more SOL you earn, with cards you already had sitting in your wallet.

How you can multiply it:
🔥 win streaks
🏆 ranked wins
⚔️ beating tougher opponents (upset bonus)
💰 paid games > free games
🕹️Stack multipliers → more points → a bigger slice of the SOL pool.

Here’s the part that matters:
it’s NOT about owning the most expensive card.
a $20k grail doesn’t auto-win. brackets keep fights fair, and skill + the right strategic picks beat raw value every time.
outplay > outspend.

Why play:
Your cards finally DO something and your collection becomes a real competitive toolkit.
Cards were made to be played.

And we made it real onchain.

[Rooter @dacrooter]

Throwback to when I visited solana breakpoint and presented TCG Arena to the lovely people I met during the @solana meetup.

Wasn't sure how it'd land but the boys supported it immediately.

@PlayTCGArena bridges three of the strongest pillars on @solana right now:

RWA, gaming, liquidity. here's how they fit

RWA: graded cards onchain are real-world assets. @Collector_Crypt alone has done $1B+ in volume people clearly want to own them.
but right now? they just sit in a vault.

Gaming: TCG Arena makes those RWAs playable. connect your slabs, battle other collectors with the cards’ real printed stats, play to earn.
the asset finally does something.

Liquidity: a token + asset economy needs deep, efficient markets. that’s @MeteoraAG — solana’s liquidity layer (DLMM, dynamic fees, fair launches).
it’s where the @PlayTCGArena economy plugs in.

The whole thesis: real assets → real utility → real liquidity. all on solana.

What’s below the impressive top line metric is even more impressive

It’s 6 years and counting of relentless experimentation and innovation not just on network architecture & engineering

But the whole ecosystem of apps and unique market structure on top that bring retail and institutional into the same markets, 24/7

Every layer of the global ecosystem that makes this work is permissionless, multi threaded, decentralized

That’s the part that astounds me every day

[Rooter @dacrooter]

How I built the TCG Arena economy:

hold 1,000 $TCG to play. Paid games are SOL-staked, winner takes the pot.

Every game earns points → each 24h those points pay out a SOL reward pool, funded by the token tax.

Rewards are in SOL & $TCG yield, and yield comes from our $TCG treasury, so it can’t inflate to zero like old p2e games.

You need $TCG to play, this is our entry fee.
There is no staking. Just play and earn.

There are 2 different game modes:
Free to play - play games, win, make points and earn yield from $TCG.
Wager to play - pay a pot in SOL to play, win, earn a multiplier of yield from $TCG and win a prize pot in SOL.

Every epoch we distribute all players with rewards based on their points.

If you make it to the leaderboards, you receive massive multipliers.

This is TCG.

[Rooter @dacrooter]

Let me explain the core of TCG Arena:
we pull the real printed stats off every card. Your base set charizard isn’t a generic “fire creature” — it’s exactly 120 HP, fire spin for 100, weak to water, retreat cost 3. the actual card.

You fight with real data, not made-up numbers.
Meaning cards from @Collector_Crypt and @phygitals that you own onchain, can be used to make money playing $TCG

The magic: the exact card in your collection its real stats, its real attacks — is what walks into the arena.
The card you own, finally doing what it was printed to do.

Why strategy is everything

here’s why this is a skill game, not a casino:
your card’s stats are fixed and real. you can’t pay to make charizard hit harder — you can only play it smarter.
The cards are the same for everyone who owns them. the difference is you.

the depth is all in the decisions:
when to attack vs retreat. how to bank energy. which matchups to dodge. push for the KO or play safe.
same cards, completely different outcomes depending on who’s piloting. that’s the game.

open information. real stats. no hidden numbers, no pay-to-win boosts.
brackets keep the card pool fair, so what’s left is the only thing that matters: who plays better.
