Pearls and Marketplace

Pearls are the platform's internal currency. They're used to buy collectible items, a Premium subscription, and to generate invitation codes for your decks.

What it is

Pearls

  • Pearls – the single currency on the platform, shown in your profile as a balance.
  • Pearls cannot be cashed out or exchanged for real money.
  • The balance is tied to your account and is available on every device.

How to earn pearls

  • Promo codes – activate a pearl promo code (from the team or from partners).
  • Deck Pledge – pledge your own deck (10 pearls per card).
  • Pearl Shop – buy packs for real money or crypto.

What you can spend pearls on

  • Premium subscription – from 150 pearls for 1 day to 10,000 for 365 days.
  • Collectible items – Zen Stones (250 pearls), Lilac Branch (150 pearls).
  • Invitation codes – generate codes that grant access to your decks.

Deck Marketplace

Invitation codes

Deck authors can generate invitation codes to give other users access to their decks.

Invitation types: - Personal invitation – bound to the recipient's email. Cost: 1 pearl per card. - Public invitation – usable in open sessions. Cost: 5 pearls per card.

How to generate a code: 1. Open the deck editor and pick your deck. 2. The deck must contain at least 35 cards. 3. Click "Generate invitation code". 4. Choose the type (personal or public). 5. For a personal invitation, enter the recipient's email. 6. The pearl cost is shown before confirmation. 7. Copy the generated code and send it to the recipient.

How to activate a code: 1. Open the "Profile" panel. 2. Enter the code in the "Activate code" field. 3. Click "Activate". 4. The deck appears in your list of available decks.

Favorite decks

  • Click the heart icon next to a deck to add it to favorites.
  • Favorite decks are displayed at the top of the list.
  • Authentication is required.

Acquired decks

  • Decks received via invitation codes appear in a separate "Acquired" section.
  • Access to an acquired deck stays with you forever.

Black Market – an alternative channel

Black Market is an alternative way to buy pearls with a +10% bonus on every pack. It's accessed via a special link and involves a slightly longer checkout path.

  • The +10% bonus is added automatically on top of the regular pack (for example, with the M pack you get 1,320 pearls instead of 1,200).
  • The Black Market link shows up in the Pearl Shop under specific conditions (for example, for long-time users or after promo events).
  • The payment method is the same – crypto (USDT/USDC, TRON/Polygon).

Tip

If you're planning a big pearl purchase, it's worth checking whether Black Market is available to you – the savings stack on every pack you buy.

Deck Pledge

Deck Pledge is a mechanism for supporting deck authors. The author "pledges" their deck and receives pearls per card.

How it works

  1. Open the deck editor and pick your deck.
  2. Click "Pledge".
  3. You receive 10 pearls per card in the deck.
  4. The deck is locked: editing and deletion are disabled while the Pledge is active.
  5. You can revert a Pledge, but the pearls will be deducted back.

Why it's useful

  • Authors are rewarded for creating high-quality content.
  • Locking guarantees stability of the deck for users.
  • Pearls can then be used for Premium, items, or invitation codes.

Tips and errors

  • The pearl balance updates instantly after activating a promo code or making a purchase.
  • Pearl transactions are irreversible – double-check amounts before confirming.
  • A deck must contain at least 35 cards to generate invitation codes.
  • Reverting a Pledge deducts pearls. If the balance is insufficient, the revert is impossible.
  • Crypto payments are processed automatically, usually within a few minutes.
