Trove

Collectibles such as Pokémon cards and gaming skins generate constant global trading activity, yet until now there has been no decentralized venue capable of treating those markets with the same structure and transparency as traditional financial assets.

Trove was built to change that as a decentralized perpetual futures exchange for trading all kinds of collectibles with up to 10x leverage, transforming established collectible categories into tradable index markets that reflect real market strength and sentiment ⚡

The goal is to allow anyone to trade perps on any collectible or exotic market—prediction markets included. Collectibles are only the start, with the vision extending toward cultural assets like sneakers, comics, and beyond.

Trove’s oracle blends data from eBay, TCGPlayer, and csgoskins.gg with onchain data to deliver real-time index values. Each market aggregates pricing across multiple assets—graded Pokémon cards, sealed boxes, indices like Charizard Index, or CS2 skins like Howl and AK-47 Case Hardened.

🪂 The platform is currently live in a testnet beta phase, progressing toward a full mainnet launch.

Users who have interacted with Hyperliquid, Unit, Kinetic, Hyperlend, Felix, or hold NFTs like Pudgy Penguins, Hypurr, or Hypio, can connect their wallets to check their status recognition points—potentially contributing to a future $TROVE token airdrop allocation.

They can also earn more points through trading activity on testnet and by referring others, with points determining leaderboard rankings that may contribute to future airdrop rewards.

It’s important to note that the project has unfolded during a highly visible period of controversy following a last-minute pivot away from Hyperliquid to Solana ahead of its token launch — a decision that immediately raised questions around process, communication, and capital handling — followed by investor backlash, refund disputes, and widespread criticism around execution.

The situation intensified when the $TROVE token crashed more than 95% post-launch, placing the project under heavy public scrutiny, as covered by Crypto.News and The Block.
