What is Gym Showdown?

Buy an orb — the ball you throw — from $2 and throw it at a card roaming the island. Your odds are shown before every throw: a cheap card is close to a coin flip, a grail is a long shot. Catch it and the real graded card lands in your wallet.

LiveThis is the island. It's free to walk.Real graded cards roam the grass, the lakes and the caves. Catch one and it moves to your wallet.→

How it works3 steps

Get a wallet with some SOL

Walking around the island is free. To buy anything you need a Solana wallet with a little SOL in it — that is the money the game moves in.

Buy an orb and throw it

Orbs start at $2. Before every throw the screen shows that card's value and your exact odds — cheap cards are close to a coin flip, the expensive ones are a long shot. Prefer a straight bet? A 1v1 costs $47 right now.

The card is really yours

Win one and the real graded card moves to your wallet — a physical card in insured storage, not a picture. Keep it, sell it, trade it, or bet it again.

This is a real-money game — you must be 18+, you can lose what you spend, and every result is checkable.

What is Gym Showdown?

Gym Showdown is an explorable Solana world where every Pokémon card is real. Catch wild graded slabs, battle other trainers and Gym Leaders for them, fuse shards into cards, and trade peer-to-peer. The treasury is publicly verifiable on-chain — every card you see above maps 1:1 to a physical graded slab.

A published, fixed edge

→1v1 entries are priced off the live vault so the average win is always 1.5× the entry — a fixed, published house edge, not a mystery rake.
→Every flip, draw, and catch roll uses commit-reveal randomness you can verify yourself on the Transparency page.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Are the cards real?

Yes. Every card is a graded slab (PSA, CGC and more) tokenized by Collector Crypt: the NFT is backed 1:1 by the physical card in insured custody and can be redeemed for the physical. The treasury wallet is public, so you can verify every card on-chain.

How is fairness handled?

Every outcome — coin flips, card draws, wild catch rolls — uses commit-reveal randomness: a hash of the seed is published before the outcome exists, and the seed is revealed at settlement so anyone can recompute the result. Check any match on the Transparency page.

What happens when I win or catch a card?

The graded NFT is transferred to your wallet at settlement — no claim step. From there it's yours: wager it again, consign it to the wild via the Trainer Vault, list it on the Trading Post, or redeem the physical slab.

Can I sell a card?

Yes. Won cards get a 12-hour window to sell back to the vault for 80% of insured value (up to $100 insured). Beyond that, list it on the in-game Trading Post, or consign it at your own reserve through the Trainer Vault — when a trainer catches it, you're paid your reserve in SOL.
