Yield gives everyone a little. GATCHA gives someone a lot.

WHAT IT IS

Every trade of GATCHA pays a 1% fee. Half of it arrives as SV151 — the token backed by sealed Scarlet & Violet 151 Pokémon packs — and goes straight into a machine. The other half goes to STONK, the platform GATCHA launched on.

When the machine reaches 1,510 SV151, it is full. Anyone can pull it, and it costs them nothing. One holder catches the entire thing. Then the machine resets and starts filling again. There is no end state and no final round.

WHY NOT JUST PAY YIELD

Because 1,510 SV151 split across thousands of wallets is a rounding error each, and 1,510 SV151 handed to one person is a real prize that everybody watches land.

We are not claiming randomness makes the rewards bigger. The same fees go out either way. We are claiming the shape matters — that a reward you can feel is worth more than the same value dissolved into noise. Many payments nobody notices, or occasional catches nobody forgets. We picked the second one.

WHAT HOLDING ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE

Honestly: if you hold a small amount, you may watch several machines fill and catch nothing. We would rather say that here than let you find out on your own.

What you have instead is a live position on every single round, and a catch that can be meaningful relative to the size of the position you hold. Hold more and your chance increases proportionally, every round — twice the GATCHA, twice the chance. No tiers, no lockups, no staking contract to sign. Your balance is your ticket, and it is working whether you are watching or not.

WHY THE PRIZE IS POKÉMON CARDS

Because “catch them all” is not a slogan we reverse-engineered onto a yield product. The prize is SV151 — the sealed-pack token — so what the machine actually pays out is exposure to the cards themselves.

Gacha is a very old idea: you do not buy the thing, you buy the pull. Everyone already understands it. We did not have to teach the mechanic. We only had to make it real, on chain, with a prize worth catching.

THE VAULT

One round in ten, no holder catches the machine. The Vault does.

This is not a fee and not a cut. Nothing is taken out of anybody's prize — there simply is no holder that round, and the machine catches itself. Every SV151 the Vault has ever caught is still sitting in it: the program running GATCHA today contains no instruction capable of moving it, and using it for the second machine requires a program upgrade.

So the obvious question is what it is for.

THE SECOND MACHINE

A normal commercial gacha machine has to make money on the pull. The prizes come out of the takings, so the takings have to exceed the prizes, so the expected value is against you. That is not a scam — it is arithmetic, and it is why “gacha” and “+EV” rarely appear in the same sentence.

A machine stocked by the Vault does not have that problem. The pull itself does not need to be negative-EV, because the prize has already been subsidised by the Vault. That is the whole breakthrough.

So the second machine is built the other way around: you pay GATCHA to pull it, the prizes are SV151 the Vault already caught, and it is deliberately designed to be +EV for the player. The Vault pays the edge instead of you paying the house. And the GATCHA you spend does not go to a treasury — it comes out of supply.

Where it stands today: it is not live yet. Building it requires a program upgrade, and the pricing and access mechanics are still being designed. What is live is the Vault, filling toward it — and you can watch that on chain right now.

WHY THE TWO OF THEM HOLD EACH OTHER UP

Trading fills the machine. Most catches go to holders. Some catches build the Vault. The Vault stocks a machine whose prizes are already paid for — and takes GATCHA out of supply while doing it. Less eligible supply means the GATCHA that remains held carries greater relative weight on every future round. That is the reason to hold, and it compounds quietly.

Neither machine replaces the other. The first one is not a launch mechanic and the second one is not a sequel. They run beside each other and they are funded by the same thing.

WE SAY VERIFIABLE, NOT “PROVABLY FAIR”

The holder list is published before the draw. Its hash is committed on chain before randomness is requested. Anyone can re-run the draw and reproduce the result — and the holdings behind that list are on Solana too, at a stated slot, so the list itself can be checked against the chain rather than taken on our word.

We use verifiable because it describes what the system actually lets you do: inspect the inputs, check the commitment, and reproduce the outcome. That is a more useful claim than a slogan, because you can act on every part of it.

GATCHA retains the program's upgrade authority, and the snapshot is produced by our own infrastructure. The fairness page sets out both, along with everything you can check for yourself, so you can judge the trust model rather than a label.

TWO MORE THINGS WE DO NOT SAY

We do not promise you will win. More GATCHA is better odds. It is never a schedule.

We do not call the second machine Phase 2. The first machine is not a stepping stone. It is the product, and it does not stop.
