We're committed to building the best onchain gacha experience.
The goal is simple: create a game where participation is rewarding, and every round gives users a real chance to win.
With Daily Zerg, we're combining gacha mechanics, community competition, and SOL rewards into a format anyone can play.
Pokemon / TCG platforms are now generating $5M+ per day in combined fees, making collectibles one of the most profitable categories in crypto right now.
Zerg is building towards this category, and we just introduced Daily Zerg, our newest gacha experience, where users compete for SOL rewards every single day.
Have you tried it yet?
.@Collector_Crypt and @zinc_cash are in the top 3 revenue-generating protocols in 24H on Solana with very impressive stats
Collectibles and gamified protocols are taking the lead, and @Zerg_App is taking the same playbook and using gacha to distribute digital assets and launch opportunities 🎰

Introducing The Daily ZERG, the first Gacha Pool on Solana.
A Gacha Pool is a new type of onchain game where players buy mystery boxes, pull rarity-based rewards, and compete for a share of the daily reward pool.
With every new mystery box purchased, the reward pool grows. The earlier you are, the more you benefit from the rest of the round.
And the better your pulls, the bigger your rewards!
Here is how you can join Daily ZERG:
1️⃣ Buy boxes with SOL - most of every purchase goes into the reward pool daily
2️⃣Win Daily ZERG tokens based on the quality of your pulls.
3️⃣ The earlier you participate, the more early entry rewards you earn from purchases after you. 12% of every box purchase goes to the entry bonus reward pool for early buyers.
4️⃣ Earn a share of the total reward pool based on your token allocation.
5️⃣ Claim your share of the pool and early entry rewards in SOL once the daily round ends.
A new round starts every day at 3:00PM UTC.
The first round is now live!

I think most of you have noticed it already, ever since X stopped allowing new Communities to be created, @CoinComms (backed by Pump.fun) has been growing fast.
The reason is simple: in a market flooded with launches, real communities have become one of the few signals that can't easily be faked.
That's a big part of the thinking behind ZERG.
Every launch on ZERG has a soft cap requirement. Before a token goes live, there needs to be enough community participation and conviction behind it.
The goal is to ensure launches are driven by real demand, not just KOL hype, insider activity, or manufactured attention.
Reminds me of Nerve lol because people will definitely keep pushing the limits as bounty sizes increase.
But the bigger takeaway is that this is one of the first memecoin-adjacent products that a normie can instantly understand.
That's how you onboard new users.
And new users eventually become new capital. 👀
One thing I've learned in crypto is that if a consumer narrative wants to matter, it usually has to win on Solana first.
We're seeing that happen with TCGs and gacha right now. Last month, Solana processed $146.6M in onchain TCG/gacha volume, more than Polygon ($56.8M), Base ($14.3M), BNB ($5.4M), MegaETH ($3.2M), and Abstract ($1.9M) combined.
To me, that's a signal that people are looking for something beyond pure trading. Collecting, discovering assets, opening packs, and participating in communities are behaviors that have existed long before crypto and will likely outlast most market cycles.
That's one of the reasons we're building @Zerg_App.
We're taking lessons from TCGs and gacha and applying them to digital asset launches, creating infrastructure that makes discovery and distribution more engaging while giving communities a fairer way to access new opportunities.
Big buyouts are real and happening weekly.
But imo gachas aren’t going away, and they will keep pulling fresh capital in and turning stagnant inventory into constant movement.
In the short term, this narrative will keep pumping, and with Pokémon's 30th anniversary, One Piece hype, and more operators entering, it will just add fuel.
But you can expect more rotation and upside before any real slowdown.
Longer term, I expect this narrative to keep bringing new players, better liquidity, and blend physical collecting with gaming mechanics that actually work.

Sitting on a large token position but can't sell without crushing the chart?
Turn it into a Redistribution Offering on ZERG.
Reach thousands of buyers, distribute supply gradually, and grow your holder base instead of dumping into thin liquidity.
Taking profits shouldn't mean killing momentum.
DM us to get started.
One thing we learned while building ZERG is that not everyone wants the same experience.
Some users want pure fairness. Others want the thrill. They want to open a box and have a chance at landing something much bigger than average.
That's why we built two offering types:
> Equitable: optimized for fair distribution.
> Jackpot: optimized for excitement and bigger winners.
Neither is better. They're just different experiences for different communities.
At the end of the day, we're not just building token infrastructure. We're building experiences people actually enjoy participating in.
The only 3 ways for a token creator to build a runner today:
1: Launch spam
You can launch a hundred tokens and hope one catches attention while the other 99 go to zero. That's the playbook most deployers follow because it's profitable for them, even if it's terrible for traders.
2. Insider distribution
Manufacture a runner through bundled supply, insider distribution, KOLs, and market making. It might create a strong chart for a while, but it rarely creates a real community, and it's mostly reserved for teams with deep pockets.
3. Build conviction
Build a product, build a community, build demand before launch, and get people excited to participate. The problem is current launch infrastructure doesn't really reward this approach.
That's what we're trying to change with ZERG.
If you can gather enough community conviction, your launch succeeds. If you can't, participants get refunded, and you go back to building.
The goal is simple: to build the highest EV strategy again.

An Initial Box Offering (IBO) is ZERG’s native way for creators to launch a new token.
Instead of traditional token sales, your token is distributed through loot boxes that users purchase, each containing randomized rewards based on your configuration.
You control:
💠Your token’s identity
💠How rewards are distributed
💠The scale and pricing of your offering
💠How you receive your earnings
You can now launch a token on our public Beta on zerg.app
Interesting....even in this market, Pumpfun is still pulling over 80k daily users.
Looks like people are still searching for a way to get rich, even in a bleeding market.
The demand for token launches is still there.
People just need a platform like @Zerg_App to actually be able to participate and have a shot at winning, rather than competing with bots and snipers.
Devs have two choices.
Dump on your community for short-term money
or build a real community that keeps paying you long term.
At @Zerg_App we design launches so creators can actually benefit from sustaining their token instead of extracting from it day 1.
Better distribution. LP revenue. Long-term alignment.
Way bigger upside than farming one chart and disappearing.
Looking to launch a token without the usual PvP circus?
Here’s the ZERG creator flow, dummy-proof edition:
1️⃣ Create a Token Box Offering (TBO) in under 60 seconds
2️⃣ Set your offering value and number of boxes to sell
3️⃣ Spread the word about your offering, tell people why they want your boxes
4️⃣ If the launch is successful, your token will launch LP on Meteora automatically
💠 How do creators benefit? If your offering succeeds (passes soft cap or sells out):
- Claim 10% upfront payout in SOL, tokens, or both
- Earn 50% of LP fees from permanently locked liquidity
- Extra cash-out pool funds can also flow back into chart support or LP
