About SwapPulse
A decentralized Pokémon TCG community
Our Mission
SwapPulse exists to give Pokémon TCG collectors a home that belongs to them — not to a corporation, an algorithm, or an ad network. We believe a hobby built on community, trust, and trade should be powered by software that respects all three. Every feature is free, every record is portable, and every decision is made in the open.
What is SwapPulse?
SwapPulse is a decentralized social network and collection manager for Pokémon TCG collectors. It combines collection tracking, peer-to-peer trading, social feeds, AI tools, and community features into a single platform built on the AT Protocol — the same open standard that powers Bluesky. That means your posts, trades, and identity are federated and portable; you are never locked in.
Card data is sourced from TCGDex, an open Pokémon TCG catalogue, and is available in nine languages. The platform is funded entirely by voluntary donations — there are no paid features, no premium tiers, and no advertising.
- Track your collection, portfolio value, and set completion
- Trade cards peer-to-peer with threaded negotiations and trade chains
- Scan cards with AI and get instant TCGDex catalogue matches
- Post pulls, write journals, build digital binders, and review cards
- Join circles, meetups, challenges, and pack parties
- Watch the market with price tracking and alerts
- Host voice spaces and publish podcasts
- Earn proof-based achievements verified against your on-chain activity
Core Principles
Free & Open-Source
No paywalls, no premium tiers, no ads. SwapPulse is funded entirely by voluntary donations and licensed under MPL-2.0 so the community can self-host and audit every line.
Decentralized by Design
Built on the AT Protocol, your identity, posts, and collection are portable. You own your data — export it, migrate PDS, or use it in any compatible app at any time.
Community-Moderated
Trust is earned through vouches, not handed down. Moderation blends AI screening with human review, and reputation is built by the collectors who trade with you.
Privacy-First
Direct messages are end-to-end encrypted with no backdoor. Your private key lives in your browser. We collect the minimum needed to run the platform and nothing more.
