Free Pack Rips

Onchain pack ripping explained

Tokenized cards, provably fair draws, and what changes when your card lives on a blockchain.

Some pack ripping platforms record ownership of each vaulted card as a token on a blockchain. The card itself stays in a physical vault; the token is your claim to it. Courtyard uses Polygon; Phygitals and Collector Crypt use Solana; Beezie runs across Flow, Base and Solana.

How it works

  1. The platform buys, grades and vaults real cards.
  2. Each card is minted as a token that represents it.
  3. When you rip a pack, the token for your pull moves to your account.
  4. You can hold it, trade it, sell it back, or burn the token to have the physical card shipped.

What onchain adds

  • Verifiable ownership. The record of who owns each card is public.
  • Outside marketplaces. Tokens can trade beyond the platform's own marketplace.
  • Provably fair draws. Platforms such as Phygitals use public verifiable randomness, so you can check that a pull wasn't rigged.
  • Financial features. Collector Crypt has added borrowing against vaulted cards.

What to watch

  • Fees. Platform, network and redemption fees can add up.
  • Tokens beyond the cards. Some platforms have their own cryptocurrency, such as Collector Crypt's CARDS. Its price has nothing to do with your card's value.
  • You may not need a wallet. Courtyard and Phygitals let you buy with a card and handle the blockchain side for you.

The scale

Onchain pack ripping is large. Collector Crypt reported cumulative trading volume of around $1.3 billion by June 2026, according to CoinGecko, and Courtyard said it had grown from $50,000 to $50 million in monthly GMV when it raised its Series A.

Rip responsibly

Pulls are random and a card can be worth far less than the pack. Set a budget before you start and stick to it.
