How it works
FoilFactory is a coin launchpad. Creators launch community coins; a share of each coin’s trading fees funds its holders’ credit toward Pokémon cards.
For holders
1Choose and hold a coin
Buy a community coin you want to back. You are buying a coin, not ownership of a Pokémon card.
2Fees become holder credit
Realized trading fees are shared by how much you hold and for how long. No fees, no new credit.
3Redeem whole cards
Spend credit on a whole card you choose. Credit you’ve earned stays yours after you sell.
Only realized fees count. Credit is created after a coin's trading fees are actually collected and converted — never in advance.
Balance × time. Your share of each allocation follows how much you held and for how long during that period.
Keep what you earned. Selling stops future accrual; credit already allocated to you stays yours.
No fees, no new credit. Credit isn't yield, interest, or a promised return, and it's not a share of any card.
For creators
Creators choose one specific card listing as their coin’s collecting target. You don't buy or deposit it up front. Holders can redeem that coin’s funded credit only for its paired card, while the listing remains available.
Pick a Pokémon, then a card. Browse the Pokémon index, open a character, and choose a matching card listing as your collecting target. Add a coin name, ticker and description; the pair is saved with your draft.
Review before signing. Drafts start in your browser. Preparing uploads the frozen metadata. Review simulated SOL costs before approving creation and permanent fee routing. Resume interrupted steps from your dashboard. After verification, your public coin page and shareable announcement are ready.
90% holder credit / 10% operations. The split applies to net fee-derived USDC after network costs, not trading volume or seed funds. Creator fees go to the coin’s managed credit pool, not the creator’s personal wallet.
Cards & redemption
Cards come from the Collector Crypt marketplace: authenticated, vaulted cards, each represented by an NFT. Credit is redeemed for one whole card — there is no fractional ownership.
Prices are rechecked. Authenticated redemption reserves the exact live price of the coin’s paired card; a higher price stops the purchase.
Pending means reserved. Once a purchase is co-signed, credit stays reserved until finalized delivery or a proven failed/expired transaction. A timeout never authorizes a second payment.
Delivery boundary. Physical shipping through the provider isn't enabled. Digital card delivery requires sufficient funded credit and a verified finalized purchase.

These public read-only endpoints never move funds. The separate authenticated launch and redemption routes require wallet approval and live service availability.
