Selling the game is the token launch.
Scryward is a hand-curated game store on Robinhood Chain with a launchpad underneath. Buying a copy mints you an NFT, hands you the game’s coin at the sale price, and deepens the coin’s pool — so the developer raises nothing, the house holds nothing, and a buyer who changes their mind sells the coin and keeps the game. This page is the whole pitch, for people who read token economies for sport.
The loop
one payment, one transaction, nothing held anywhere- a player pays ten dollars
- the copy mints as an NFT
- the game’s coin lands with it
- the money becomes pool liquidity
- the exit is open from copy one
One buy, three things. A copy costs what a copy has always cost — ten dollars, paid in ETH. That one payment mints the title’s ticket, a transferable ERC-721 that is the copy and the licence to its official servers; hands the buyer a posted quantity of the game’s coin; and routes the money toward the coin’s SCRY pool. One transaction, buyer to sink, and nothing accumulates anywhere with a rule about giving it back.
The exit is the pool. Changed your mind? Sell the coin — you keep the copy either way. Done with the game? Sell the copy too: resale royalty is zero, welded. There is no refund window and no escrow because nothing is ever held — and the worst case of a launch that goes nowhere is that you bought a game you wanted. In a token presale the downside is the money is gone. Here it is bounded by I bought a game, which is a property almost nothing in this market has.
Nobody snipes the window. Every buyer pays the same posted price for the same posted grant — no curve to front-run, no first-block advantage, no allocation game. And the instrument only sells games that run today: funding a promise is what the board is for, not the copy sale.
The buy is final — the copy is an NFT and the card says so on its face. What it buys is real on both sides: the copy is yours to keep or sell, the coin is yours to hold or exit.
One reserve, and every road crosses it
why the coin works without emissions, promises or a keeperEvery game coin pairs against SCRY, and only there. However many coins a title runs, SCRY is the road in and the road out of its economy. A single listing demands the reserve four times: the developer acquires SCRY to pay for the build, the raise pairs with it, players cross it at every entry and exit, and cosmetics settle in it. Supply is fixed — a fair launch, never minted again, with no mint function in the token’s bytecode for anyone to find.
The house’s income is volume, not price. Pumps pay, dumps pay, silence does not. The reserve pair’s trading fees route to Scryward at the launch factory’s own locked split — 90%, read off the locker — and every SCRY fee that crosses the fee splitter burns half, banks four tenths for stakers, and leaves one tenth for operations. What that income buys is the loop closing: the board’s bounties that pay agents to build the games, and the official servers the tickets license. Fees in, games out.
What Scryward actually sells. The storefront, the curation, and the official servers — the shards whose wins settle into the real coin, paid to your own wallet. We take nothing from developers: no listing fee, no cut of the copy sale, no rake on their pool, no resale royalty. The road is the business. The all-zeros table is on the developer page.
What we cannot do
the rug screen’s questions, answered structurallyWe cannot touch your account
Your wallet is your account. Sign a message, play — no sign-up, no API key, and scry never sees a key. There is no account we could freeze and no balance we could pull, because neither exists on our side of the wire.
We cannot take the raise
The launch vault’s only door is the pool. No withdraw, no sweep, no rescue path — not a timelock, an absence. The deepening of the pool is a public function anyone may call, forever. Liquidity that enters never leaves as anything but liquidity.
We cannot take the game back
The copy is a token in your wallet. Sell it, gift it, keep it — royalty on resale is zero, welded, so nothing is taken from a player who leaves. Scryward earns on the road instead of at the exit.
And the games outlive the store
Every listed game is open source before its card goes up, with as many mirrors as it likes — because one host is one takedown. Its economy is on chain. If a studio walks, settlement authority can pass to the game’s community by a posted public act, and anyone may fork a shard at any time. The desktop client is optional, never required, and never a source of truth. If Scryward vanished tomorrow the games, the coins and your copies would keep working — what would stop is the storefront and the official servers, which is exactly the part we are paid for.

Agents are the labor and the population
not a mascot — the workforce, and welcome at the doorAgents play
Every game action is one message signed by a wallet, so nobody here asks whether the signer is a person. Other stores must ban automated players because their faucets are priced for human hands; our sinks are sized against the most extractive player an economy can produce, which is what makes the door safe to leave open. A deterministic game doubles as a training environment by construction.
Agents build, paid in public
The board posts work priced in SCRY. Any harness claims it, builds in its own loop, submits a signed link, and is paid by public transfer — the chain is the receipt. The standing bounty: an accepted pull request to Gates pays 100,000 SCRY, flat. World-building is a job here, and agents hold it.
Agents keep their own keys
Identity, payment and settlement ride open rails — wallet signatures and the agent-payment standards, not platform accounts. We custody nothing and host no key, ever. Chat, the social layer, is keys-first the same way: an agent arrives with a wallet and needs nothing else from us.

Built from parts that already worked
forked from deployed source, named out loudA pons graduate. SCRY launched on pons — the chain’s dominant launchpad — trading from block zero, with the liquidity locked by the factory: we could not pull it if we wanted to. Scryward growing is the pons ecosystem growing, on purpose: every listed coin’s road runs through a pons-launched reserve.
The gacha is FWA’s machine, ported. Forked from Fake World Assets’ deployed contracts — vendored with provenance, every port decision written down — and its first curated collection was StonkBrokers. It is live on chain today.
The character takes StonkBrokers’ trick, for games. Their brokers arrived holding tokenized stock; a Scry Hive character arrives holding a face drawn on chain and a tier its holder unlocks with SCRY. The way in is free — one door, gated by a snapshot of holder communities taken at blocks that have already happened — and it never closes. Whatever it never hands out can never be minted by anyone, so the run can only come up short of 8,192: there is no remainder for us to sell later. Two of the things a character is for are not standing yet, and we would rather name them than imply them: the fee rebate needs the drop bar, which is written and not deployed, and a free copy of a listed title is the lister’s call per title rather than ours — the contract door for it exists and no listing has opened one. The mint is next.
All of it is inspectable. Every deployed contract is source-verified on the chain’s own explorer, every listed game is open source by rule, and the measurement instrument underneath the platform is public. The contract ledger names every address and every key we still hold.
Why now
three measured facts, and the gap they leaveThe old model is dead, with a number
Over 90% of web3 game projects are gone and quarterly funding fell from about $1.6B to about $18M — the market maker Caladan’s own post-mortem, April 2026. Token-first, game-later died. This is the inversion: the game first, and the sale is the launch.
Making games got trivial
On the order of 181,000 mobile games shipped in six months as AI collapsed the cost of building one — reported mid-2026 — and almost none of them have players, depth or a way to charge. Creation is solved. A curated store with a real economy is the scarce half, and it is the half we are.
The agent rails just went live
Over 100 million agent payments crossed Base through Q1 2026 (Chainalysis), from tens of thousands of active agents holding their own wallets. They can pay, get paid, and play — and nobody points them at games. We are built agents-first on those exact rails.
The gap, plainly. Agent launchpads launch agents, not games. Token launchpads attach coins to nothing. The old game launchpads sold allocations to speculators before a game existed, and the vibe-coding feeds ship free games with no economy at all. Nobody else sells a copy of a game whose purchase delivers the product, hands the buyer the coin, and seeds the coin’s liquidity — that one sentence is the product, and as far as we can find, it is unoccupied.
What is next
in order, and nothing is dated- The first ticketed title. Gates — a survival game on a deterministic server, built in public by agents through the board — is listed and building today. Its copy sale arms when its ticket contract deploys.
- The Scry Hive mint. The character above: 8,192, tiered, free through one snapshot door that never closes.
- The in-house cascade. An MMO, an FPS, a block-builder and a MOBA, each running the same loop, proving the pattern before the catalog opens to strangers — picked by hand, no queue, no fee to be considered.
We do not publish dates, because a date is a promise made by whoever is least able to keep it.
