Questions, answered.

PokeSlabs is a map game: reward balls are placed at real-world, publicly accessible spots and you walk to them to claim them with your phone.

Some balls hold a real graded trading card (a “slab”) delivered through Collector Crypt. Most balls are standard balls that do not hold a prize.

Browsing the map and claiming a Token Ball does not require a purchase. Actions you choose to sign yourself — such as launching a token — show their cost in your wallet before you approve.

A phone with location services, a modern browser, and a Solana wallet (for example Phantom) to sign in and receive prizes.

Token Balls are map balls funded by a specific token's creator-fee reward pool. Each one shows the token's ticker (for example $TICKER) so you can see which community funded it.

When a token's reward pool has enough to fund a full drop, PokeSlabs places 25 Token Balls for that token close together around a nearby public area.

You can collect as many different balls from a drop as you can find. Each ball can be claimed only once, by the first valid claim.

Individual trades never create a ball on their own. Value accumulates until a full drop is funded, and drop timing is not guaranteed.

Every Token Drop has 25 balls: 24 standard balls and 1 prize ball holding a real Collector Crypt slab.

A standard ball shows “Try again — no slab in this one.” The prize ball delivers the slab to the winner's wallet.

Only what is inside. On the map, every ball in a drop looks exactly the same — same art, same label, same ticker. You find out which kind you claimed only after the claim is confirmed.

Yes. Token Balls are shared: everyone nearby sees the same balls, and each ball goes to the first valid claim the server accepts. Once a ball is claimed it is gone for everyone else.

Claiming one ball never locks you out of a drop — the other Token Balls nearby stay open to you and everyone else.

Prepaid balls (Sponsor Balls, coming soon) are paid for one-for-one by a sponsor before they appear, and each holds its own paid pack.

Token Balls are funded as a whole drop from a token's reward pool and are shared by everyone on the map.

The ticker and, when the token has one, its public image are taken from the token's own launch metadata. If a token has no image, the normal Token Ball art is shown. PokeSlabs does not create logos for tokens.

Every ball in the same drop shows the same ticker and logo, so the prize ball cannot be picked out.

Token Balls are in Beta. Sponsor Balls, Gold Balls, and Slab Balls are Coming Soon and are shown with that label wherever they appear.

A ball prepaid by a sponsor before it appears on the map. Finding one will not require the finder to buy the pack. Sponsor branding is advertising by that sponsor. (Coming Soon.)

A higher-tier ball type planned for a later release. (Coming Soon.)

A ball that shows a live Collector Crypt pack price when you reach it. Nothing is bought unless you choose to pay and the server verifies the payment. (Coming Soon.)

You need to be within about 40 meters of a ball to claim it. The map shows when you are approaching and when you are in range.

Browser location is an estimate. The server makes the final decision on whether you are close enough.

Yes. Every drop has an expiry time, and unclaimed balls disappear from the map when it passes.

Drops are placed around your area, only in publicly accessible places such as parks and open public areas — never centred on a private home or address. Balls are spaced apart within the drop area so they are not stacked on one spot.

Do not enter private property, restricted areas, or roads to reach a ball. Always follow local rules and park hours.

Areas where balls are never placed. Placement checks every ball against the active exclusion zones before a drop goes live.

Your precise position is used to show nearby balls and is sent to the server only when it needs to check your distance for a claim.

To decide where future balls are useful, PokeSlabs may record a coarse neighborhood-level area (roughly 5 km) keyed by a one-way hash — never your exact position or your wallet address. Your location is never shown to other players.

Allow location access for your browser in your phone settings, turn on precise location, and reload the page.

Step outside or away from tall buildings, wait a few seconds for the accuracy to settle, and avoid VPNs or location-spoofing apps — they can cause claims to be refused.

From the Launch page you enter a name, symbol, and image, and sign the launch with your own wallet. The token is created on Pump.fun. PokeSlabs never holds your private key.

Tokens are launched through Pump.fun's public on-chain program, and PokeSlabs tracks the supported creator fees those tokens generate. PokeSlabs is not affiliated with or endorsed by Pump.fun.

80% of a token's supported creator fees goes to that token's reward pool, which funds its Token Drops. 20% is PokeSlabs revenue.

Trading a token generates creator fees. PokeSlabs collects the supported fees, applies the split, and adds the reward share to that token's pool. When the pool can fund a full drop, a Token Drop is prepared.

Fee volume depends entirely on trading activity, so there is no schedule or guarantee for when — or whether — a drop is funded.

Yes. Rewards are accounted per token. One token's fees only fund that token's drops; they are never used to fund another token's balls.

Signing in with your wallet is a free message signature. Transactions you sign yourself, such as launching a token, include a small Solana network fee that your wallet shows before you approve. Prize deliveries are sent by PokeSlabs.

Collector Crypt is an independent service that tokenizes real graded trading cards held in its vault. PokeSlabs uses Collector Crypt's public services to source and deliver prize slabs. PokeSlabs is not affiliated with Collector Crypt.

Prize slabs are real graded cards represented through Collector Crypt. The card image, grade, and certificate number you see after a win come from Collector Crypt's data.

Before your first win, PokeSlabs shows a clearly labelled example or a neutral placeholder — never an invented card presented as yours.

No. Pack contents vary. A pack is not a guaranteed profit, payout, or insured value.

The server confirms your claim, then the prize slab is sent to the wallet you are signed in with. It appears in your Collection with the card image, grade, and cert from Collector Crypt.

Delivery happens on Solana to your connected wallet through Collector Crypt. Anything about vaulting or redeeming the physical card is governed by Collector Crypt's own terms.

Prize secured — it's reserved for your wallet. Delivery is paused right now; come back to this ball later and it will be sent once delivery resumes. Nothing is lost.

Delivery may be paused for safety checks or maintenance. Your claim is recorded against your wallet in the meantime.

Claims and deliveries have proof pages that show the on-chain transaction signatures and provider references, so you can check them on a Solana explorer.

Yes. Before a Token Drop is placed, PokeSlabs checks that the prize for that drop is already held in its reward treasury. If the check fails, the drop is not placed.

No. The prize is assigned before placement and kept hidden. The map, labels, art, and public data are identical for every ball in a drop, and the result is revealed only after a claim is confirmed.

Tap Connect and choose your Solana wallet. On mobile, PokeSlabs can open your wallet app and bring you back. You sign a message to prove you control the address — PokeSlabs never asks for a private key or seed phrase.

Most often someone else claimed it first — shared balls go to the first valid claim. A ball also disappears when its drop expires.

Wait for your GPS accuracy to improve and try again. If the ball was already claimed or expired, the server will say so.

Switch back to your browser manually. Pending sign-ins and actions are kept for a short time, so you can usually continue where you left off. If not, start the action again.

Take a screenshot of the ball or proof page — it includes the reference IDs needed to look into it. Never share your seed phrase or private key with anyone, including people claiming to be support.

$SLABS is a planned PokeSlabs community token. It has not launched. Nothing on PokeSlabs is an offer of $SLABS, and no token on PokeSlabs — including $SLABS — comes with any promise of value, price, or returns.

PokeSlabs makes no claims about any token's price or value. Token Drops are a game reward funded by creator fees, not an investment feature.

No. PokeSlabs is an independent project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Nintendo, Creatures, GAME FREAK, The Pokémon Company, Collector Crypt, or Pump.fun. PokeSlabs uses Collector Crypt's and Pump.fun's public services.

Card names and images belong to their respective owners.

Yes. You confirm your age on your profile. That confirmation is a self-attestation, not a government identity check, and some rewards can be disabled by region.
