About PokeTrade

PokeTrade is an on-chain derivatives market for Pokémon cards. Buy calls, sell puts, hedge your collection, or earn premium — all without ever shipping a card.

How it works

Each contract represents 1 Pokémon card. Prices are pulled live from pokemontcg.io (TCGplayer market data). The Black-Scholes engine prices contracts in real time, and everything settles in cash on Robinhood Chain.

The vault is the counterparty on every trade. LPs deposit USDG, the vault writes contracts against that liquidity, and earns the house edge on premiums.

Market makers — write contracts and collect premium. Provide liquidity to the vault and earn the house edge.
