Rarity & card earnings
Quantity sets exposure. Grade multiplies earnings weight.
Five grades
Each card’s weight equals its original token quantity multiplied by its rarity weight. Rarity changes earnings weight, not original backing or a promised return.
Odds apply independently to every card, including serial number one. They are not supply quotas. A five-card pack has a 4.901% chance of at least one Legendary and a 0.499% chance of at least one Grail. Some tokens will have no Grail.
| Grade | Draw probability | Weight multiplier |
|---|---|---|
| Common | 70% | 1× |
| Rare | 23% | 2× |
| Epic | 5.9% | 4× |
| Legendary | 1% | 10× |
| Grail | 0.1% | 50× |
A permanent number within each token
Every card receives the next serial for its underlying token when its pack is sealed, across all rarities. The number stays private until opening. Opening earlier does not change it; transfers, sellback and redemption never recycle it.
Before issuance closes, artwork shows a number such as #0042. After the final count is proven at graduation or shutdown, it can show #0042 / 120. The denominator includes unopened and retired cards, not just current circulation. Serial number one has no extra earnings multiplier.
The immutable card descriptor generates front and back images and wallet metadata entirely onchain, including embedded foil materials. Higher-resolution material masters have committed content hashes. Retired cards retain readable provenance even though the burned NFT no longer exists.
A finite edition with ongoing earnings
Graduation closes issuance permanently. Aggregate disclosure burns the part of the 5% backing allocation never assigned to cards, while preserving unopened backing. Returns burn assigned backing immediately and never refill the edition. There is no separate earnings-token allocation.
Active positions share the project’s quote trading fees by weight, including positions still sealed. Earnings depend on subsequent trading; no payout is guaranteed. A sole remaining position receives all future collector fees until it retires. Each project has separate liabilities, and direct donations cannot enlarge claims.
Opening does not stop earnings
Sealed, opened, and kept positions remain eligible until returned or redeemed. Opening reveals an existing position rather than creating a new economic entitlement.
A whole-pull return burns all five backing claims and redistributes surrendered quote earnings to surviving positions. Redeeming a kept card pays original backing plus earned quote and permanently removes its weight. The last normal redeemer receives remaining project earnings and rounding dust. A final return or disclosure with no survivors credits already-collected orphan quote to that token’s creator. Future swaps use the terminal burn rate.
