One reserve. Many game coins.
ELO is the one coin behind Elo Pros. Every game brings its own coin and pairs it with ELO.
Every coin is a swap or two away
no dead endsEvery game coin trades against ELO in a public Uniswap v3 pool. So ELO is one swap from any game coin, and any two game coins are at most two swaps apart.
| from → to | how | swaps |
|---|---|---|
| ELO ↔ a game coin | that coin’s own pool | one |
| one game coin ↔ another | sell into ELO, then buy the other | two |
| JUNK ↔ ORBS | Gates’ direct pool | one |

Every game brings its own coin
the launchpad ▸Each game decides its own coin: how many there are, and what mints or burns them. Gates runs two: JUNK, its play coin, and ORBS, a capped premium coin. New JUNK comes from playing. New ORBS comes only from the farm, where you stake JUNK with ELO.
Players fund the pool
A new game’s coin opens on a launch curve priced in ELO. Anyone can buy or sell from the first trade. At a set target the curve opens the pool, and every copy sold after that makes it deeper. So a game needs no money up front: the players who buy it fund its market.
How buying a game works, coin and all: the launchpad ▸
Where fees go
ELO has a fixed supply: nobody can mint more. The fees we take run through one posted split, paid in ELO. Part is burned, part goes to stakers in the bank, part to the drop bar for Elo Pros characters, and the rest goes to the team. The split ▸
How a game pays you
In real coins, sent straight to your own wallet. Nothing waits in an account with us.
In Gates, the scrap you carry is at risk: get it out and it’s yours; die first and it’s gone.
Money buys copies, entries, cosmetics and work here. It never changes a game’s odds. More on that ▸
