the biggest gacha platforms are currently crypto native.
however that is the biggest problem with them.
remove the daunting ideas of crypto from the equation while still keeping it seamless, and you win.
jupiter gacha is collector crypt's backend wearing a jupiter skin
you buy a pack, collector crypt takes the spread between what you paid and what the cards inside are actually worth. you trade a card on their AMM, they take a fee. you want to redeem the physical? another fee
they processed $209M in june off 800 daily users because 97% of revenue came from whales cycling cards through this loop over and over
now jupiter is plugging 2M monthly wallets into that exact infrastructure. rarible already white labeled it as gacha station. solflare did it with packs. collector crypt is becoming the shopify of negative EV pack ripping
the announcement says "more collectors, more liquidity" but the mechanic hasn't changed. its a fee loop with pokemon cards as the frontend. jupiter gets a revenue stream, collector crypt gets distribution, and retail gets to be the liquidity
Introducing Jupiter Gacha
Real graded Pokémon & One Piece cards, fully onchain.
Every pull is an authenticated slab, the same cards you chased as a kid, now tradeable on Jupiter.
You can pull cards worth multiples of what you paid AND earn up to $100,000 rewards while you do it.
Every Charizard, every grail, is one pull away from being gone. Someone's walking away with them. Better be you.
Catch 'em all on Jupiter.
Try the BETA today!
collector crypt is the perfect example of what happens when you take the most natural thing crypto could build and turn it into a whale playground
onchain tcg/gacha should be about the pull. the dopamine of opening packs, chasing rarity, collecting things you probably don't need
instead they tokenized pokemon cards on solana and built a capital markets tool. less than 1k daily users, 97% of revenue from whales
they built a derivatives desk wearing a pokemon skin and called it collecting
the model already runs on scarcity and rng. you don't need to financialize it to death. you just need to make opening packs feel good
it is clear that all current on chain TCG/Gacha platforms are lacking a good UI/UX experience
the first to break that barrier will win mindshare entirely

feeling extremely blessed by the people around me because my entire ct feed went from posting PNL with 100 wallets
to just different bag workers shilling their coins and cto’s and doing relentless hours of bag working to make things happen
shi makes me happy because the trenches are truly healing
people don’t want to get farmed anymore, they want to believe
they just need to see others doing the same
