Most people see @Pocket_Dragons_ as just another NFT collection. ๐
We've just published our most detailed breakdown yet, covering how everything works and where we're heading.
Welcome to the bigger picture. ๐

Pocket Dragons Tech Update
Two weeks since the last update, and this one is again the biggest since launch ๐ฅ๐
980+ changes across 1,600+ files since then, every one passing 8,000+ automated checks and recorded browser runs before release. A lot of new features and significant performance updates. Some of it went live last week without a word from me, so here is all of it.
New: the Dragon Codex. A lore book for the whole collection, with your own ex libris plate, every species and its egg, the Dragons chapter, and the Origins chapter sealed until the reveal. Our collection book is ready before the launch of the NFTs. My dragons shows what you hold and which NFTs you are missing.
New: link your wallet. We are getting close to mint ๐ On your account page you can now link up to five wallets. Your Codex reads them, and the first link earns the Keybearer badge. Make sure to link with the wallet you want to participate in the presale and auction.
New: Keeper Account. Sign in with X or Discord, your Keeper card, privacy settings you control, and the Keeper's menu on phones.
New: Convocant III, the AMA badge's 10-AMA tier, now visible on the board. Plus the whole-clutch ceremony in the Ember Chamber when all 16 are lit.
Also: Significant performance updates. Loading time, performance and quality of the 3d hatchery environment improved for all type of user devices. The Keeper Ledger's sky figures, faster and cleaner page loads, the live room now tells you exactly what to do if your browser blocks graphics, and two security patches on the stack.
Security note on wallets: linking only asks your wallet to sign one short message that names your Keeper number. It moves nothing, costs nothing, and we never ask for a transaction, a seed phrase or a private key. Only link on pocketdragons.io. If anything asks you to approve a transaction, sign a blank message or share your seed phrase, it is not trustworthy -> close it.
How do you like this update and what do you want to see next? Would you like to see a teaser for the Tamagotchi, see and interact with Blinky inside the Hatchery? Let me know if you can already feel a performance change. ๐
Pocket Dragons Tech Update
One week since the last update, and this one is personal ๐ฅ
Since that update: 400+ changes across 1,800+ files, every one passing 7,000+ automated checks and recorded browser runs before it reached you.
New: your own star constellation in the Keeper Ledger
โจ Your star constellation:
Every Keeper now has their own constellation, chosen by their Keeper card egg. Lava Keepers get Scorpius, Space Keepers get Draco, Ghost Keepers get Lynx, 16 real star patterns in all, each finished into a dragon.
- Every badge you earn lights one star, in the order you earned it. With 15 badges the whole dragon is lit.
- Your Keeper number gives you your own lighting path, so two Keepers with the same badges still look different.
- New badges will add new stars, so your constellation keeps growing with the quests.
๐ The portal:
@plooshGWIN's portal from the intro film now stands at the top of the Ledger. When the page opens, the frost plays once and fades, and your constellation stays in focus.
- Point at a badge on your standing card and a beam lights its star and its figure in the sky.
- Press the portal, a badge or a star to open your constellation full screen. Pick a star to see its badge, when you earned it and how many Keepers hold it.
- Sound: your stars light to your own rising tune, one note per badge, rarer badges higher.
๐ผ๏ธ Download your constellation:
One press makes your own image: your rank as the headline, your badges, your name and picture, your constellation in the portal. Post it. Every Keeper's is different.
๐ The sky, rebuilt:
Every badge constellation is now a real star figure with bright cores and gold lines, all of them visible on the page, with slow clouds, a golden moon glow and a warm horizon. Point at one to see it rise in colour.
๐จ Creator Kit, now open:
Artwork and music for your own Pocket Dragons projects, free to use with credit. 84 artworks and 3 songs, with 20 brand new Blinky and Pinky renders by @plooshGWIN in ten poses each, transparent and 2048 px, plus the new hero of the two of them.
๐
New quests and badges:
- Attend 3 Pocket Dragons Spaces on X from start to finish (the first Space comes next week).
- Put the ๐ in your X name and keep it there.
- AMA regulars: two higher tiers for 5 and 10 AMAs.
๐ฅ Ember Chamber:
Tonight's card now shows the whole 16 egg clutch, which egg is tonight's, which one comes tomorrow, the eight eggs that only come from Tonight's challenge, and when the night turns, so nobody misses an egg again.
๐ฑ Also:
- The Ledger badge case is wider, with three columns and no scrollbar
- The portal, the constellation and the stage on phones too
- A new app icon: our logo, whole, for your home screen
- Your current X name and picture show everywhere, with no extra cost to us
- Faster image downloads, a privacy page that names everything the image carries, dozens of small fixes
We hope you like it. All Gas No Brakes. I will tease whatโs coming next in tomorrows AMA. See you in the AM and next week for the next dev update ๐๐ฅ

Meet Speedy the little dragon who proves that being a hero isnโt about how big you are, but how much you care.
@Pocket_Dragons_
NEW DRAGON ALERT ๐
Name: Speed
Status: Hatched
Temperament: Bold. Fearless. Mischievous. Unreasonably fast.
๐ Speed has never encountered a button he didn't press, a rule he didn't break, or a warning sign he didn't ignore.
Hatchery Observation Notes:
Subject displays an uncontrollable fascination with buttons, switches, and anything labelled "DO NOT TOUCH."
Multiple unexplained Hatchery incidents have been linked to his whereabouts.
When questioned, Speed appeared amused.
Official Recommendation: Keep all restricted controls out of reach.

SPEEDโs Little Halloween Adventure ๐
Deep inside a warm, glowing volcanic cave lived a tiny dragon named SPEED. Every night, while lava cracks sparkled and embers floated in the air, SPEED loved to walk around and explore
One special Halloween night ๐, between shining jack-oโ-lanterns and glowing lava, SPEED met a small friendly ghost ๐ป
At first he was surprised, but then he smiled, raised his paw, and said, โHi! Iโm SPEED.โ
The ghost smiled back and gently touched his paw. Then it softly faded away into the mist. SPEED sat down on a warm rock, closed his eyes, and fell asleep with a happy smile
From that Halloween night on, whenever SPEED walked through his cave, he remembered his new ghost friend and felt a little braver and a lot happier ๐ฆโจ
A little Halloween story for @Pocket_Dragons_ ๐๐ฉต

My dragon's reaction to Speed: "he pressed WHAT?" ๐๐ New dragon alert: bold, fearless, mischievous, unreasonably fast. The Hatchery keeps getting better. Would YOU trust Speed near your buttons? ๐

I sold my McLaren to build @Pocket_Dragons_ ๐
A sentence I never thought I'd write.
Growing up, owning a McLaren was a dream. Something I worked towards for years.
And eventually, I got there.
But here's the thing nobody tells you about achieving a dream.
Sometimes, you find something that means even more.
For me, that was Pocket Dragons.
So I sold the car.
Not because I needed to. Not because things were going wrong.
Because I wanted to give this everything I had.
The money, the time, the late nights, the weekends. All of it.
Look, I'm not going to sit here and promise that Pocket Dragons will be the next big thing.
The truth is, nobody knows what the future holds.
And I'd be cautious of any founder who claims they can guarantee success.
But what I can tell you is that I've never believed in something more than I believe in what we're building.
I see the potential. I see the community growing. And every single day, that belief gets stronger.
Will there be challenges? Absolutely.
But I'm willing to give this everything I've got to turn that vision into reality.
People see a cute yellow Dragon and another NFT project.
I see a whole year of ideas, countless sacrifices, an incredible community, and something I believe can become much bigger than a collection.
Could I have kept the McLaren and lived comfortably?
Absolutely.
But I'd rather take a shot at building something meaningful than spend the rest of my life wondering what could've been.
The McLaren was a dream I achieved.
Pocket Dragons is a dream I'm willing to sacrifice for.
And one day, I hope that little yellow Dragon means as much to thousands of people as it does to me. ๐๐

Last week on Pocket Dragons
1/ The seventh AMA on October 23 passed 1000 people live and the team shared the mint plan in a nine post thread. The collection launches on Ethereum with a 6000 supply. The ancient hatchery is set to open this November. There is no date yet
2/ There are two ways in. A community first presale with 2000 NFTs targeted at 0.029 ETH. And a public auction where every winner pays the same final price. The team said partner communities get no discount and pay the same price at the same time
3/ The keeper ledger decides most presale spots. 1800 spots go through ledger rankings and a community raffle. The top 500 keepers are guaranteed spots at the snapshot. Ranks 1 to 100 get five. Ranks 101 to 300 get three. Ranks 301 to 500 get one
4/ Another 500 spots go to a raffle weighted by badges. You need at least one badge to enter and more badges give better odds. Final snapshot rules are still to come from the team
5/ The public auction is open to everyone. Up to 10 dragons per wallet. Reference bid levels run from $10 to $200. Every bid is fully funded in ETH. Active bids cannot be lowered or cancelled. Outbid funds can be reused. It runs 24 hours plus up to 60 minutes of extensions
6/ The lowest winning bid sets the final price for every winner. Example from the team. Five $200 bids win at $90 each. Total paid is $450 and $550 is refundable. These are USD examples. Real payments are in ETH and gas is extra and not refundable
7/ Could a dragon be free. The top 4000 eligible keepers start the auction with provisional $0 allocations. Paid bids replace the lowest ranked allocations first and a higher ledger rank survives longer. The team said free dragons are possible but not guaranteed
8/ Only 16 one of one dragons will ever exist. They cost 50 eggs burned before the reveal or two red dragons after it. The leaderboard gives no priority. After the mint there will also be 173 badges
9/ The team said it takes zero allocation and will buy its own eggs. 30 percent of revenue buys collectibles for monthly rewards by honor score. A planned share of proceeds funds dragon buybacks. The team said nothing can be guaranteed
10/ On the product side sign in with X or Discord is now live on the website. TJ said a performance update and the first version of the collection book are coming within days. The first community keeper badges also went out on October 23 to about 40 keepers
11/ On October 19 Sam teased pocket dragons Tamagotchi as the game side of the project. The team has shared no date or details yet
12/ The team shared community numbers. 1018 people at the AMA peak. 458000 organic views on X from six videos. 30000 badges given out with 1700 in the last week. More than 2200 players in Ember Chamber
13/ Still ahead. The mint date in November. The snapshot date. When the presale and auction open. Final terms in an X Article before opening. An X Space with a badge is expected midweek. The next AMA is Friday October 30 on the roadmap
A full week again. Thank you for reading๐๐ซ

I'm not a songwriter, so this song is short ๐

But I made it with lots of love for the entire @Pocket_Dragons_ community!
Sometimes, it's not about making something perfect. It's about having fun, being creative, and showing support for a project we believe in. ๐๐
