TCG-VAULT is a community-driven ecosystem built around trading-card-game collectibles, combining physical assets such as Pokémon cards, sealed products and graded cards with a Web3 infrastructure deployed on BNB Chain. The project is operated by a French SAS registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Register under number 101 481 380, with its registered office at 66 avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008 Paris.
The founders are Guillaume Giraud, President, and Loïc Giniel, Chief Executive Officer through A.F.A.G Investissement. Both are long-standing collectors and blockchain enthusiasts. Before launch, they committed €100,000 of their personal funds to the project, including EUR 20,000 in share capital and EUR 80,000 in shareholder current-account contributions. This commitment does not constitute any guarantee of performance, outcome or project success.
Yes. The $TCGV MiCA White Paper has been notified to the AMF (Autorité des marchés financiers, France's financial markets authority) under European Regulation (EU) 2023/1114. This notification does not constitute a review or approval of the White Paper by the AMF. The smart contracts have been audited by Hacken. Legal compliance monitoring is carried out by a French law firm.
The Terms of Use are available at www.tcg-vault.io/cgu. The MiCA White Paper, the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy, the Terms of Sale — crypto-assets and the Terms of Sale — Store are also available on the official website. All of these documents have been reviewed by a French law firm.
TCG-VAULT SAS is registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Register under number 101 481 380, with its registered office at 66 avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008 Paris. The President is Guillaume Giraud. The Chief Executive Officer is Loïc Giniel, acting through A.F.A.G Investissement SARL.
Yes. Legal compliance monitoring, in particular under the European MiCA Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, is carried out by a French law firm. The smart contracts have been audited by Hacken. Presale funds are held by GOin SAS, a crypto-asset service provider (CASP) authorised by the AMF under number A2025-002, in a segregated account in accordance with Article 10(3) of the MiCA Regulation. TCG-VAULT SAS is the custodian of the Community Vault cards and boxes, stored in a dedicated secured facility; GG Collector's Games acts as the appointed manager for acquisition validation, inventory and operational monitoring.
The project roadmap is structured in five phases.
Phase 1 — Foundations (in progress, March – August 2026): incorporation of the SAS, partnership with GG Collector's Games, website creation, smart-contract audit by Hacken, initial seeding of the Community Vault, and a first legal review of the ecosystem's architecture by a French law firm.
Phase 2 — Initial launch (in progress, estimated Q3 – Q4 2026): presale opening on 07/10/2026 at 6:00 PM (French time), rollout of the official online store, acquisition by the SAS of 10 Founder NFTs, $TCGV listing on PancakeSwap, and activation of the Community Vault funding mechanisms.
Phase 3 — Operational deployment (estimated Q4 2026 – Q1 2027): CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko listings, monthly community livestreams, first documented and certified inventory, first notarised Proof of Reserve audit, and launch of the first community NFT series.
Phase 4 — Consolidation (estimated 2027): storage infrastructure expansion, successive documented and certified inventories, progressive international rollout, notarised Proof of Reserve audits, and the first physical event.
Phase 5 — Long-term vision (2028+): long-term strategic directions, presented as an outlook only and without any implementation commitment (a possible flagship physical venue in Europe combining a museum dedicated to TCG culture, a physical store and a meeting space; potential expansion to the Americas subject to the applicable regulatory framework).
The detailed roadmap is set out in the White Paper. It may evolve depending on operational, financial, legal and regulatory conditions.
$TCGV is a utility crypto-asset deployed on BNB Chain under the BEP-20 standard. It is used as an interaction layer within the ecosystem, including access to the Community Store, community-activation mechanisms and ecosystem features. It is not a financial security, does not grant ownership rights and is not a yield product.
There are two ways to buy $TCGV: first, during the presale, scheduled for 07/10/2026 at 6:00 PM French time, by sending USDC through the Official Portal; second, after listing, through PancakeSwap (DEX), approximately 20 days after the presale closes.
The allocation is 60% presale, 20% liquidity, 11% Structure & Marketing with a 36-month vesting schedule, 5% Strategic Reserve, and 4% founding team with a 12-month cliff followed by 24-month vesting. The total supply is proportional to the volume actually distributed during the presale.
No. $TCGV does not grant any ownership right in the company, any right to profits, any dividend, any value guarantee, or any share in the Community Vault assets. It is a utility token, not an investment product.
Yes. The value of $TCGV is volatile and may fluctuate significantly upward or downward. You may lose all or part of the amount committed. There is no guarantee of value, buyback or liquidity. Only commit funds you can afford to lose.
The official $TCGV smart-contract address is not yet publicly available and will be communicated later through www.tcg-vault.io and the official channels at deployment. Do not use any address found elsewhere unless it has been verified against the official source, as this may expose you to phishing.
$TCGV is deployed exclusively on BNB Chain using the BEP-20 standard. Any alleged version of the token on Ethereum, Polygon, Solana or any other network is fraudulent.
The $TCGV supply is dynamic: the presale is capped at 600,000,000 $TCGV, within an absolute ceiling of 1,000,000,000 $TCGV that can never be exceeded. When the presale is finalised, the definitive supply is recomputed pro rata to the volume actually distributed; undistributed $TCGV are never created (and are therefore not "burned"). The minting function is then disabled: no additional issuance is possible. The allocation follows the 60/20/11/5/4 ratio.
No. $TCGV is a utility token with a free and volatile market value. It is not backed by any reserve asset, is not designed to maintain parity with any currency or asset, and does not constitute either an asset-referenced token (ART) or an e-money token (EMT) under MiCA.
Yes. As a BEP-20 token, $TCGV can be held on any hardware wallet compatible with BNB Chain, for example a Ledger Nano S, X or Plus with the Binance Smart Chain application installed. Using a hardware wallet is strongly recommended for asset security.
Each purchase or sale of $TCGV automatically applies a percentage-based contribution according to the protocol parameters, in order to fund the ecosystem. These are not taxes; they are protocol fees embedded in the smart contract.
Buy: 5%, allocated as 3% to the Community Vault and 2% to Structure & Marketing. Sell: 4%, allocated as 1.5% to the Community Vault, 1% to Liquidity, 0.5% to Structure & Marketing and 1% to Community Rewards. When purchasing through the Portal, you also receive a $TCGNEXUS allocation equivalent to 3% of the purchase amount.
Buy: 6%, allocated as 2% to Liquidity, 2% to Structure & Marketing and 2% to the Vault in $TCGV. Sell: 5%, allocated as 2% to Liquidity, 1% to Structure & Marketing and 2% to the Vault in $TCGV. No $TCGNEXUS allocation is granted in Router OFF mode.
The Official Portal (Router ON) includes additional mechanisms such as automatic USDC conversion and $TCGNEXUS allocation. Direct DEX trading (Router OFF) does not include these features, which explains the different fee grid.
The transactional contribution grid - 5% buy / 4% sell in Router ON mode and 6% buy / 5% sell in Router OFF mode - is encoded in the $TCGV smart contract. It may be reduced for the benefit of users, but no rate increase is technically possible, as that protection is enforced at contract level. Any change will be communicated officially in advance. The detailed rules are set out in the Terms of Use.
The transaction remains possible and will be processed in Router OFF mode. The applicable contribution grid is 6% on buys and 5% on sells, deducted directly in $TCGV by the smart contract. No $TCGNEXUS allocation is granted in Router OFF mode.
$TCGNEXUS is a soulbound, non-transferable token that represents your membership in the TCG-VAULT Guild. It allows you to take part in community consultations and access certain reserved experiences.
The Community refers to all $TCGNEXUS holders with an active and validated member account on the TCG-VAULT website. It is not a legal entity; it is a community membership circle.
$TCGNEXUS is allocated automatically, equal to 3% of the purchase amount, when $TCGV is purchased through the Smart Router (Router ON, Official Portal at www.tcg-vault.io). The allocation coefficient is the same for all users after listing. During the presale, an enhanced coefficient of 30% applies to all participants. No allocation is granted in Router OFF mode (direct DEX trading).
No. $TCGNEXUS is a soulbound token. It is permanently linked to the wallet that receives it and cannot be transferred, sold, traded or converted into cash.
$TCGNEXUS serves several functions: (1) an indicator of community engagement; (2) participation in the indicative consultations organised by the project, without creating any legal obligation for the Company; (3) a component of the access key to the TCG-VAULT store (access requires jointly holding $TCGV and at least one $TCGNEXUS, and neither token is used as a means of payment — $TCGNEXUS remains permanently in the wallet, soulbound status); (4) access to certain non-monetary benefits (early access, eligibility for selected draws, visibility status). It does not grant any financial right, any share in the project's assets, or any guarantee of gain.
No. $TCGNEXUS has no market value, is not listed on any exchange and cannot be converted into cash or any other asset. It is a community indicator with no patrimonial purpose.
The Community Vault is a pool of physical TCG assets (graded cards, sealed products, exceptional collectibles), progressively built through transactional contributions according to the applicable technical parameters. It is stored under professional security conditions: exceptional collectibles are kept in a bank safe-deposit box, while the other assets are kept in a dedicated, secured facility (climate control, access security), the whole being covered by MAIF insurance.
TCG-VAULT acts as custodian. GG Collector's Games acts as the appointed operational manager for monitoring, inventory and acquisition coordination. Movements are validated through Gnosis Safe (multisignature): community wallets operate on a 2-of-2 basis, moving to 2-of-3 no later than the Listing Date with the addition of an independent community representative. GG Collector's Games' signature is required for every community transaction: TCG-VAULT cannot initiate or validate a movement on its own.
No. Holding $TCGV, $TCGNEXUS or NFTs does not grant any ownership right, co-ownership right, claim, repayment right or liquidation right over Vault assets. The Vault has a cultural and community purpose.
You can follow the Vault through the TCG dashboard on the website, regular publications including visuals and inventories, monthly community livestreams, and Proof of Reserve reports published four times per year, including detailed inventories, dated photos and notarised audits twice per year.
Yes. Vault assets are recorded on the balance sheet as assets allocated to a specific purpose, with a corresponding liability account (account 467). Segregation is set out in Article 38 of the SAS articles of association. TCG-VAULT does not have unrestricted disposal rights over these assets.
TCG-VAULT SAS is the legal and physical custodian of the Community Vault cards, stored in a dedicated and secured facility under its responsibility. Acquisition validation, inventory and operational monitoring are entrusted to GG Collector's Games, an appointed manager specialised in graded trading cards.
The exceptional collectibles of the Community Vault are kept in a bank safe-deposit box. The other assets are stored in a dedicated TCG-VAULT SAS facility under conditions suitable for preserving graded trading cards (humidity control, access security, traceability). The exact storage locations are confidential for security reasons. Asset traceability and integrity are ensured through documented inventories published as part of the quarterly Proof of Reserve process and through the notarised audits planned in the roadmap. Acquisition validation and inventory monitoring are handled by GG Collector's Games as appointed manager.
The Community Vault cards are regularly presented visually during community livestreams, especially the Grand Monthly Live, with new acquisitions highlighted. Individual physical visits are not planned. A documented inventory is published through the Proof of Reserve framework.
If insolvency proceedings affect TCG-VAULT SAS, the treatment of assets, including the Community Vault, will fall under mandatory French insolvency law and the decisions of the competent bodies, such as the court-appointed administrator, receiver and court. The Company has nevertheless expressed its intention, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to approval by the competent bodies, to prioritise transferring the Community Vault to a community-led continuation structure if such a structure is created to keep the project alive. This intention is not a binding commitment or a guarantee in favour of $TCGV or NFT holders, who have no direct patrimonial right over Company assets.
Yes. The Community Vault cards are covered by an insurance policy subscribed with MAIF and adapted to the value of the stored assets. The exact coverage terms, limits, exclusions and claim conditions may evolve depending on the applicable policy. Holders have no direct claim against the insurer.
The provisional date is 7 October 2026 at 6:00 PM (French time), subject to confirmation through the official channels.
You need a BNB Chain-compatible wallet, such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet, and USDC. Participation takes place through the project's Official Portal.
Wave 1 (Early Bird): 0.005 USDC per $TCGV, with a 30% $TCGNEXUS coefficient. Wave 2 (Final Countdown): 0.008 USDC per $TCGV, with a 30% $TCGNEXUS coefficient. Maximum contribution per wallet: 4% of the total presale allocation.
Yes. Under Article 13 of MiCA, you have a 14-day withdrawal right from the date of purchase. During that period, you may cancel your participation and recover 100% of your USDC. A cancellation button is available.
Your USDC are held by an authorised crypto-asset service provider (CASP) in a segregated account, in accordance with Article 10(3) of MiCA. TCG-VAULT has no access to those funds during that period.
60% goes to liquidity (PancakeSwap pool), 30% funds acquisitions for the Community Vault, and 10% goes to Structure & Marketing (maintenance, marketing, compliance and legal expenses).
Vesting: 10% available at the Token Generation Event (TGE), then 10% per month over 9 months. Listing on PancakeSwap takes place approximately 20 days after the presale closes.
No minimum amount is required to participate, except for covering BNB network gas fees, which remain the user's responsibility. However, the maximum amount per wallet is strictly capped at 4% of the total presale allocation, with no exception.
Only BEP-20 USDC on BNB Chain is accepted. The official USDC BEP-20 contract address will be published on the official website at launch. USDC sent from Ethereum (ERC-20), Polygon, Solana, Tron or any other network is not recognised and cannot be recovered if sent incorrectly.
Any transfer involving a token other than BEP-20 USDC, the wrong network, the wrong token or the wrong address may result in permanent loss of the funds sent. TCG-VAULT SAS cannot return funds sent by mistake. Always verify the network, token and address before each transaction.
Transaction fees are paid in BNB and depend on BNB Chain network congestion at the time of the transaction. As an indication, they usually range from a few euro cents to a few euros per transaction. You must hold a minimum BNB balance in your wallet to execute the purchase transaction. These fees are not collected by TCG-VAULT.
Any BNB Chain-compatible wallet can be used, including MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Rabby, SafePal or a hardware wallet connected through WalletConnect such as Ledger or Trezor. Using a hardware wallet is recommended for security.
During the 14-day period (Article 13 MiCA), a cancellation button is available from your member area on the Official Portal: you cancel your purchase and recover 100% of your USDC, with no fees and no justification required. Technically, the $TCGV corresponding to the cancelled purchase are permanently burned and never enter circulation, and the $TCGNEXUS bonus allocated for that purchase is clawed back. For a Founder NFT purchase, the NFT is destroyed, any $TCGV allocated are burned and the $TCGNEXUS bonus is clawed back.
The TCG-VAULT project is already fully funded by the founders' personal funds, amounting to EUR 100,000, including EUR 20,000 in share capital and EUR 80,000 in shareholder current-account contributions. Its operational launch is therefore not conditional on presale success: the project will launch when the presale closes, regardless of the amount raised. The presale is designed to adapt to actual participation volume, with the minted supply strictly proportional to the $TCGV actually purchased. There is no minimum threshold and no target conditioning the release of funds.
Yes. You may make as many purchase transactions as you wish during the presale period, within the 4% cap of the total presale allocation per wallet. Each transaction opens a new 14-day withdrawal period for the corresponding amount.
It is a limited series of 500 editions representing a level of membership and engagement within the project. It has a community and functional purpose and does not constitute an economic share, financial right or right over the Company. Depending on the applicable rules at the relevant time, the Founder NFT may provide access to reserved mechanisms such as eligibility for giveaways and Founder-specific activation features, access to certain ecosystem activations, and an invitation to the first physical community event planned in Phase 4, subject to its effective organisation. It may also represent seniority and recognition markers within the project. Effective access remains subject to the applicable eligibility requirements and to maintaining an active and validated member account.
Wave 1 (Founder Early): 200 USDC for 245 editions. Wave 2 (Founder Final): 350 USDC for 245 editions. 10 editions constitute the NFT Community Reserve, acquired by the SAS for community actions.
Wave 1 at 200 USDC remains open for 7 calendar days from the first effective sale, or until the 245 NFTs are sold out. Wave 2 at 350 USDC opens immediately after Wave 1 closes and lasts 10 calendar days. After that period, a final "Last Chance" window of 120 hours, or 5 calendar days, automatically starts, during which remaining Founder NFTs remain available at 350 USDC. After that, the Founder NFT presale is definitively closed. Unsold NFTs then remain permanently available for purchase on the official website at 350 USDC; this residual availability does not constitute an extension of the presale.
It is activated through a refundable deposit of approximately 25 USDC in $TCGV. This deposit is not a purchase price; it is refundable. Only one Basic NFT is allowed per person.
Yes. The deposit is refundable under the conditions set out in the applicable documentation. If the deposit is returned, the NFT is automatically burned and the associated benefits cease.
No. TCG-VAULT NFTs, both Founder and Basic, are community membership instruments. They do not grant any patrimonial right, right to profits, buyback right or right over the Community Vault.
The Basic NFT can be obtained from the TGE (Token Generation Event) onwards. The deposit must be made in freely available $TCGV: for example, the portion of your presale $TCGV already released through vesting (10% at the TGE, then 10% per month), or $TCGV acquired on the market after listing. $TCGV still under vesting cannot be used for the deposit. The Basic NFT is obtained directly through the Official Portal at www.tcg-vault.io. The process is as follows: (1) create your member account by entering your first name, last name, postal address and email address; (2) connect your BNB Chain-compatible wallet and ensure it contains enough freely available $TCGV; (3) go to the dedicated section and approve the $TCGV deposit corresponding to the equivalent of 25 USDC at the market price at the time of signature; (4) sign the transaction. The Basic NFT is then minted to your wallet and activated. This deposit is not a purchase price; it is refundable in $TCGV under the Terms of Use. Only BNB network gas fees are added at your expense. One Basic NFT is allowed per natural person.
Once your NFT (Basic or Founder) is in your wallet, you must connect it to your member account in order to benefit from the associated community features. The process is the same for both: (1) log in to the Official Portal at www.tcg-vault.io with the wallet holding your NFT; (2) go to "My account", then "My NFTs"; (3) click "Connect my NFT" and sign the transaction. Your NFT is then activated and linked to your member account. This step is required to validate your eligibility for the features associated with your NFT (contests, event access, Founder program features where applicable, status tracking, etc.).
Yes. The Founder NFT is freely transferable on NFT marketplaces compatible with BNB Chain. TCG-VAULT SAS does not control the secondary market and does not collect imposed royalties. Any secondary transaction is carried out under the sole responsibility of the parties involved.
Only the NFT itself is transferred to the buyer, who will then benefit from the features reserved for the Founder program. The $TCGNEXUS you have already accumulated remains permanently linked to your wallet as a soulbound token and is not transferable to the buyer. The 30% bonus on $TCGNEXUS allocation during the presale is linked to the presale period, not to holding the Founder NFT, and is therefore not affected by resale.
Yes. There is no limit to the number of Founder NFTs a single wallet can hold. By contrast, the Basic NFT is strictly limited to one per person. Only one wallet may activate the refundable 25 USDC deposit for one Basic NFT.
TCG-VAULT SAS cannot restore access to a lost wallet or transfer the assets associated with it, including NFTs, $TCGV or $TCGNEXUS. Keep your seed phrase secure, offline and never stored as a photo. No member of the TCG-VAULT team will ever ask for your seed phrase.
BNB network gas fees are borne by the user. The Founder NFT purchase price, 200 or 350 USDC, and the refundable Basic NFT deposit (25 USDC in $TCGV) are separate from these fees. No other fee is collected by TCG-VAULT SAS.
It is a free, single-level referral program. When a referred user completes a validated purchase, the referrer receives 0.5% in $TCGR. $TCGR is a soulbound token convertible only into a gift card for the TCG-VAULT store, with no right to cash conversion or monetary withdrawal.
Yes. As soon as the TCG-VAULT website opens, each member can generate a personal referral link. When a referred user clicks the link, connects with a wallet and signs the linking transaction, the referrer-referee relationship is immutably recorded on BNB Chain. Effective $TCGR distribution starts from the $TCGV listing on PancakeSwap, scheduled approximately 20 days after the presale closes. From that listing onward, each $TCGV purchase made by one of your referred users through the Smart Router (Router ON, Official Portal) automatically triggers the minting of 0.5% in $TCGR to your wallet. Purchases made in Router OFF mode (direct DEX) do not generate $TCGR.
The referrer shares the referral link with the referred user. The referred user clicks the link, connects with a wallet and signs a transaction that records the link on BNB Chain. Once validated, the registration is final: the referrer cannot be changed later.
Yes. All referred users linked on-chain to your wallet from the website launch are counted toward status progression (Silver, Gold, Elite, VIP), provided they meet the criteria for qualified active referred users: they must be linked and must have completed at least one validated purchase.
$TCGR is allocated automatically from the $TCGV listing on PancakeSwap, scheduled approximately 20 days after the presale closes. Each $TCGV purchase made by a referred user through the Smart Router (Router ON, Official Portal) triggers the minting of 0.5% in $TCGR to the referrer's wallet. Purchases made in Router OFF mode do not generate $TCGR.
$TCGR is a soulbound, non-transferable token credited to your wallet as a referral reward. It can be converted only into a gift card for the project store, with no right to cash conversion or monetary withdrawal. It cannot be sold, transferred or converted into money.
Silver starts at 50 qualified active referrals, Gold at 150, Elite at 500 and VIP at 1,000. Benefits are exclusively in kind: badges, early access, private channels, gift boxes and exclusive events. There is no additional financial commission.
No. The program is based on a single referral level. There is no remuneration based on multiple levels. Ambassadors are not distributors or financial intermediaries.
No. Ambassadors undertake not to make any promise of yield, valuation or financial gain. Any public communication must clearly state its promotional nature, in line with the French law of 9 June 2023 on commercial influence.
Yes, provided each person has their own wallet and their own member account. Wallets used must not be controlled by one and the same person. Self-referral is prohibited; otherwise, the Company reserves the right to invalidate the relevant links.
Your status is updated automatically once the required number of qualified active referrals is reached. The calculation is performed periodically according to the rules specified in the Terms of Use. You can view your current status and progress in your member area.
Once a referred user has completed at least one validated purchase through the Smart Router (Router ON), that user is permanently counted as a qualified active referral in your program. Later inactivity does not affect your progression or acquired status: the achieved tier (Silver, Gold, Elite, VIP) remains permanently yours. The detailed qualification and counting rules are defined in the Terms of Use.
Digital funds are distributed across secure wallets using Gnosis Safe multisignature. Community wallets (Community Vault in transit, Community Rewards) operate on a 2-of-2 basis, moving to 2-of-3 no later than the Listing Date (with the addition of an independent community representative); GG Collector's Games' signature is required for every community transaction. All other wallets (Structure & Marketing, Liquidity, Structuring Reserve, Strategic Reserve, LP tokens) operate on a 3-of-3 basis, including an independent trusted third party, and move to 3-of-4 no later than the Listing Date. The independent community representative is a back-up signer, with no decision-making or governance power over the assets, and grants members no rights. All movements are traceable on-chain through BscScan. This setup is designed to strengthen security and operational traceability, without constituting an absolute security guarantee.
Public wallet addresses (Community Vault in transit, Structure & Marketing, Liquidity, LP/Tokens) are published on the official website and can be viewed in real time on BscScan. Direct links to each wallet are available from the ecosystem dashboard and are referenced in the official project documents (White Paper, MiCA White Paper, FAQ).
Proof of Reserve is a documentary transparency framework, in principle published four times per year. Depending on applicable procedures, it may include documented inventories, storage evidence, external verifications and, where relevant, audits. Implementation rules may evolve depending on applicable technical, operational, legal and regulatory constraints.
Yes. All smart contracts are audited by Hacken, a recognised blockchain cybersecurity company.
No member of the TCG-VAULT team will ever initiate contact through private message. Nobody will ever ask for your seed phrase or private keys. Any urgent or insistent private-message request is potentially fraudulent. Always verify information through the official channels.
The only official URL is www.tcg-vault.io. Any other address, including spelling variants, other domain extensions or websites ending in .com, .net or .xyz, is fraudulent. Always check the exact spelling before connecting your wallet.
Check the exact URL, which must be www.tcg-vault.io and nothing else; verify the HTTPS certificate shown by the padlock in the address bar; and verify the smart-contract address through the official channels before granting any approval. Never click links received by private message. No team member will ever contact you spontaneously by private message.
The smart contracts have been audited by Hacken and include emergency pause functions for sensitive operations. If a vulnerability is discovered, the Company would implement available mitigation measures, communicate through its official channels and coordinate with its audit partner. However, residual vulnerability risk can never be fully excluded; this risk is disclosed in the MiCA White Paper.
Yes. The TCG-VAULT smart contracts, already audited by Hacken, will benefit from the Hacken DualDefense program from August 2026: a mechanism combining Hacken's professional audit with an additional review by the HackenProof community. During a dedicated period, white hats from the HackenProof network will be able to review the code and report any critical vulnerability, rewarded through the DualDefense Flash Pools. An additional bug bounty program may also be opened later by the Company. Any vulnerability discovery must already be reported responsibly and confidentially to security@tcg-vault.io. Prior public disclosure is not permitted.
Rewards are 100% physical: graded cards (PSA, Beckett), sealed products such as displays, collector boxes and boosters, goodies and exclusive merchandise. The rewards budget is separate from the Community Vault.
Contests are available to NFT holders, either Founder or Basic, with an active and validated member account. Contests are knowledge-based, such as quizzes or trivia, and are not lotteries or games of chance.
It is a monthly community livestream including presentation of recent Vault acquisitions, live draws using verifiable third-party draw software, flash giveaways, community contests and live Box Breaks. Detailed participation rules, eligibility conditions and applicable rules for contests and giveaways are defined in the Terms of Use at www.tcg-vault.io/cgu.
A Box Break is the live opening of sealed products, such as boosters, displays or boxes, during community livestreams. Some Box Breaks are funded by TCG-VAULT SAS to add relevant cards to the Community Vault, with the remaining cards forming part of the Community Rewards inventory, some of which may be awarded directly during the live event. Other Box Breaks are organised for community activation during the Grand Monthly Live: depending on the rules announced before the draw, the winner receives either the unopened sealed product or all cards opened live.
Two mechanisms coexist. Random draws, based on chance, are performed through verifiable third-party draw software, live during the Grand Monthly Live or under the announced conditions. In accordance with Article L.121-36 of the French Consumer Code, participation is free and with no purchase obligation; see the Terms of Use for details. Knowledge-based contests such as quizzes and trivia rely on skill rather than chance and are therefore not subject to the free-entry requirement. They are reserved for community members holding a Basic or Founder NFT and an active member account. The best answers, under the rules defined for each contest, determine the winners.
Shipping costs are covered by the Community Rewards wallet for all shipments. For shipments outside mainland France, any import customs duties or taxes remain the responsibility of the recipient under local regulations.
Each winner receives a notification email after winning. The winner must confirm the delivery address through that email. Shipment then takes place within an indicative timeframe of 15 to 30 business days from confirmation. For rewards outside Box Breaks, such as graded cards, boxes, goodies or sealed products, the winner may be offered an option: if the prize is not of interest, the TCG-VAULT store may buy back the item at the reference market price, using sources such as Cardmarket or eBay sold listings depending on product category, and the amount will be paid by bank transfer. The implementation and exact rules of this buyback option will be communicated through the official channels.
International shipping is possible to most countries, subject to applicable customs restrictions. Some countries may be excluded for logistical or regulatory reasons. Any import customs duties or taxes remain the responsibility of the recipient under local regulations.
The TCG-VAULT Store is the ecosystem's official store, operated directly by TCG-VAULT SAS. It offers the community a catalogue of trading-card-related products, including sealed products such as boosters, displays and boxes, single cards, graded cards, and official project goodies and merchandise. The Store applies preferential community pricing made possible by a deliberately controlled margin.
The Store will be active from 7 October 2026, the presale opening date, in a restricted version with a limited catalogue and essential features. Full deployment will take place in Phase 3 of the roadmap, estimated between Q4 2026 and Q1 2027, with progressive expansion of the catalogue, features and logistics options.
Access to the Store is conditional on jointly holding $TCGV and at least one (1) $TCGNEXUS in the member's wallet: together, the two tokens form the access key, as an eligibility condition. They are neither consumed nor spent during a purchase — they are not used as means of payment, and $TCGNEXUS remains permanently in the member's wallet (soulbound status). Any member meeting this condition automatically benefits from preferential pricing across the entire catalogue.
The Store accepts the following payment methods: euros, through an authorised payment service provider established in the European Union; USDC, directly on BNB Chain (BEP-20) or through a conversion provider for other crypto-assets (BTC, ETH, BNB, etc.), with TCG-VAULT SAS receiving the funds in USDC; and $TCGR gift cards as a complementary payment method.
$TCGR accumulated through the Ambassador Program can be converted into euro-denominated gift cards usable across the entire TCG-VAULT Store catalogue. Conversion is performed from your member area under the rules defined in the Terms of Use. $TCGR cannot under any circumstances be converted into cash or another crypto-asset and does not grant any monetary withdrawal right.
Yes. The TCG-VAULT Store offers international shipping from launch. Some countries may nevertheless be excluded for logistical, customs or regulatory reasons. Any import customs duties or taxes remain the responsibility of the recipient under local regulations.
Yes. Access to certain benefits, giveaways and features requires an active and validated member account on tcg-vault.io, including first name, last name, address and email address.
Access is prohibited by default for persons residing in the United States or qualifying as US Persons, unless the Company grants express written authorisation based on a prior legal analysis.
Yes. Data processing complies with the GDPR (Regulation EU 2016/679). The data controller is TCG-VAULT SAS. You have rights of access, rectification, erasure and portability. Contact: dpo@tcg-vault.io.
No. At this stage, creating a member account with basic identification (first name, last name, postal address, email address) is sufficient; no documentary KYC is required. Additional checks may nevertheless be requested in the event of a red flag, and enhanced verification may be implemented later if the regulatory framework requires it.
Yes. Access to the TCG-VAULT ecosystem is strictly reserved for adults, meaning persons aged 18 or over on the registration date. This restriction is set out in the Terms of Use. Minors may not participate under any circumstances, including through a parent's wallet.
No. Only one member account is authorised per natural person. Any attempt to create multiple accounts, in particular to bypass caps such as the 4% per-wallet presale cap, the one Basic NFT per person rule, or to self-refer, is prohibited and may lead to invalidation of the relevant accounts and associated rewards.
Tax treatment varies depending on your jurisdiction of residence. It is your responsibility to understand the applicable tax obligations. If in doubt, consult an independent tax adviser. TCG-VAULT does not provide tax advice.
Potentially, depending on your local law. In-kind benefits received through the Ambassador Program or contests may constitute taxable income. Consult a professional regarding your personal situation.
The tax treatment of crypto-assets depends on your personal circumstances and may change over time. As an indication, in France, simply acquiring crypto-assets is generally not a taxable event; taxation typically arises on disposal against legal tender. This information is not tax advice. Consult an independent tax adviser regarding your situation.
The tax treatment of the return of the refundable deposit associated with the Basic NFT depends on the tax rules applicable to your personal situation and jurisdiction of residence. This return is not intended to constitute a disposal of an asset for tax purposes, but the exact qualification may vary. Consult an independent tax adviser.

TCG-VAULT is a community-driven ecosystem built around trading-card-game collectibles, combining physical assets such as Pokémon cards, sealed products and graded cards with a Web3 infrastructure deployed on BNB Chain. The project is operated by a French SAS registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Register under number 101 481 380, with its registered office at 66 avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008 Paris.
The founders are Guillaume Giraud, President, and Loïc Giniel, Chief Executive Officer through A.F.A.G Investissement. Both are long-standing collectors and blockchain enthusiasts. Before launch, they committed €100,000 of their personal funds to the project, including EUR 20,000 in share capital and EUR 80,000 in shareholder current-account contributions. This commitment does not constitute any guarantee of performance, outcome or project success.
Yes. The $TCGV MiCA White Paper has been notified to the AMF (Autorité des marchés financiers, France's financial markets authority) under European Regulation (EU) 2023/1114. This notification does not constitute a review or approval of the White Paper by the AMF. The smart contracts have been audited by Hacken. Legal compliance monitoring is carried out by a French law firm.
The Terms of Use are available at www.tcg-vault.io/cgu. The MiCA White Paper, the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy, the Terms of Sale — crypto-assets and the Terms of Sale — Store are also available on the official website. All of these documents have been reviewed by a French law firm.
TCG-VAULT SAS is registered with the Paris Trade and Companies Register under number 101 481 380, with its registered office at 66 avenue des Champs-Élysées, 75008 Paris. The President is Guillaume Giraud. The Chief Executive Officer is Loïc Giniel, acting through A.F.A.G Investissement SARL.
Yes. Legal compliance monitoring, in particular under the European MiCA Regulation (EU) 2023/1114, is carried out by a French law firm. The smart contracts have been audited by Hacken. Presale funds are held by GOin SAS, a crypto-asset service provider (CASP) authorised by the AMF under number A2025-002, in a segregated account in accordance with Article 10(3) of the MiCA Regulation. TCG-VAULT SAS is the custodian of the Community Vault cards and boxes, stored in a dedicated secured facility; GG Collector's Games acts as the appointed manager for acquisition validation, inventory and operational monitoring.
The project roadmap is structured in five phases.
Phase 1 — Foundations (in progress, March – August 2026): incorporation of the SAS, partnership with GG Collector's Games, website creation, smart-contract audit by Hacken, initial seeding of the Community Vault, and a first legal review of the ecosystem's architecture by a French law firm.
Phase 2 — Initial launch (in progress, estimated Q3 – Q4 2026): presale opening on 07/10/2026 at 6:00 PM (French time), rollout of the official online store, acquisition by the SAS of 10 Founder NFTs, $TCGV listing on PancakeSwap, and activation of the Community Vault funding mechanisms.
Phase 3 — Operational deployment (estimated Q4 2026 – Q1 2027): CoinMarketCap and CoinGecko listings, monthly community livestreams, first documented and certified inventory, first notarised Proof of Reserve audit, and launch of the first community NFT series.
Phase 4 — Consolidation (estimated 2027): storage infrastructure expansion, successive documented and certified inventories, progressive international rollout, notarised Proof of Reserve audits, and the first physical event.
Phase 5 — Long-term vision (2028+): long-term strategic directions, presented as an outlook only and without any implementation commitment (a possible flagship physical venue in Europe combining a museum dedicated to TCG culture, a physical store and a meeting space; potential expansion to the Americas subject to the applicable regulatory framework).
The detailed roadmap is set out in the White Paper. It may evolve depending on operational, financial, legal and regulatory conditions.
$TCGV is a utility crypto-asset deployed on BNB Chain under the BEP-20 standard. It is used as an interaction layer within the ecosystem, including access to the Community Store, community-activation mechanisms and ecosystem features. It is not a financial security, does not grant ownership rights and is not a yield product.
There are two ways to buy $TCGV: first, during the presale, scheduled for 07/10/2026 at 6:00 PM French time, by sending USDC through the Official Portal; second, after listing, through PancakeSwap (DEX), approximately 20 days after the presale closes.
The allocation is 60% presale, 20% liquidity, 11% Structure & Marketing with a 36-month vesting schedule, 5% Strategic Reserve, and 4% founding team with a 12-month cliff followed by 24-month vesting. The total supply is proportional to the volume actually distributed during the presale.
No. $TCGV does not grant any ownership right in the company, any right to profits, any dividend, any value guarantee, or any share in the Community Vault assets. It is a utility token, not an investment product.
Yes. The value of $TCGV is volatile and may fluctuate significantly upward or downward. You may lose all or part of the amount committed. There is no guarantee of value, buyback or liquidity. Only commit funds you can afford to lose.
The official $TCGV smart-contract address is not yet publicly available and will be communicated later through www.tcg-vault.io and the official channels at deployment. Do not use any address found elsewhere unless it has been verified against the official source, as this may expose you to phishing.
$TCGV is deployed exclusively on BNB Chain using the BEP-20 standard. Any alleged version of the token on Ethereum, Polygon, Solana or any other network is fraudulent.
The $TCGV supply is dynamic: the presale is capped at 600,000,000 $TCGV, within an absolute ceiling of 1,000,000,000 $TCGV that can never be exceeded. When the presale is finalised, the definitive supply is recomputed pro rata to the volume actually distributed; undistributed $TCGV are never created (and are therefore not "burned"). The minting function is then disabled: no additional issuance is possible. The allocation follows the 60/20/11/5/4 ratio.
No. $TCGV is a utility token with a free and volatile market value. It is not backed by any reserve asset, is not designed to maintain parity with any currency or asset, and does not constitute either an asset-referenced token (ART) or an e-money token (EMT) under MiCA.
Yes. As a BEP-20 token, $TCGV can be held on any hardware wallet compatible with BNB Chain, for example a Ledger Nano S, X or Plus with the Binance Smart Chain application installed. Using a hardware wallet is strongly recommended for asset security.
Each purchase or sale of $TCGV automatically applies a percentage-based contribution according to the protocol parameters, in order to fund the ecosystem. These are not taxes; they are protocol fees embedded in the smart contract.
Buy: 5%, allocated as 3% to the Community Vault and 2% to Structure & Marketing. Sell: 4%, allocated as 1.5% to the Community Vault, 1% to Liquidity, 0.5% to Structure & Marketing and 1% to Community Rewards. When purchasing through the Portal, you also receive a $TCGNEXUS allocation equivalent to 3% of the purchase amount.
Buy: 6%, allocated as 2% to Liquidity, 2% to Structure & Marketing and 2% to the Vault in $TCGV. Sell: 5%, allocated as 2% to Liquidity, 1% to Structure & Marketing and 2% to the Vault in $TCGV. No $TCGNEXUS allocation is granted in Router OFF mode.
The Official Portal (Router ON) includes additional mechanisms such as automatic USDC conversion and $TCGNEXUS allocation. Direct DEX trading (Router OFF) does not include these features, which explains the different fee grid.
The transactional contribution grid - 5% buy / 4% sell in Router ON mode and 6% buy / 5% sell in Router OFF mode - is encoded in the $TCGV smart contract. It may be reduced for the benefit of users, but no rate increase is technically possible, as that protection is enforced at contract level. Any change will be communicated officially in advance. The detailed rules are set out in the Terms of Use.
The transaction remains possible and will be processed in Router OFF mode. The applicable contribution grid is 6% on buys and 5% on sells, deducted directly in $TCGV by the smart contract. No $TCGNEXUS allocation is granted in Router OFF mode.
$TCGNEXUS is a soulbound, non-transferable token that represents your membership in the TCG-VAULT Guild. It allows you to take part in community consultations and access certain reserved experiences.
The Community refers to all $TCGNEXUS holders with an active and validated member account on the TCG-VAULT website. It is not a legal entity; it is a community membership circle.
$TCGNEXUS is allocated automatically, equal to 3% of the purchase amount, when $TCGV is purchased through the Smart Router (Router ON, Official Portal at www.tcg-vault.io). The allocation coefficient is the same for all users after listing. During the presale, an enhanced coefficient of 30% applies to all participants. No allocation is granted in Router OFF mode (direct DEX trading).
No. $TCGNEXUS is a soulbound token. It is permanently linked to the wallet that receives it and cannot be transferred, sold, traded or converted into cash.
$TCGNEXUS serves several functions: (1) an indicator of community engagement; (2) participation in the indicative consultations organised by the project, without creating any legal obligation for the Company; (3) a component of the access key to the TCG-VAULT store (access requires jointly holding $TCGV and at least one $TCGNEXUS, and neither token is used as a means of payment — $TCGNEXUS remains permanently in the wallet, soulbound status); (4) access to certain non-monetary benefits (early access, eligibility for selected draws, visibility status). It does not grant any financial right, any share in the project's assets, or any guarantee of gain.
No. $TCGNEXUS has no market value, is not listed on any exchange and cannot be converted into cash or any other asset. It is a community indicator with no patrimonial purpose.
The Community Vault is a pool of physical TCG assets (graded cards, sealed products, exceptional collectibles), progressively built through transactional contributions according to the applicable technical parameters. It is stored under professional security conditions: exceptional collectibles are kept in a bank safe-deposit box, while the other assets are kept in a dedicated, secured facility (climate control, access security), the whole being covered by MAIF insurance.
TCG-VAULT acts as custodian. GG Collector's Games acts as the appointed operational manager for monitoring, inventory and acquisition coordination. Movements are validated through Gnosis Safe (multisignature): community wallets operate on a 2-of-2 basis, moving to 2-of-3 no later than the Listing Date with the addition of an independent community representative. GG Collector's Games' signature is required for every community transaction: TCG-VAULT cannot initiate or validate a movement on its own.
No. Holding $TCGV, $TCGNEXUS or NFTs does not grant any ownership right, co-ownership right, claim, repayment right or liquidation right over Vault assets. The Vault has a cultural and community purpose.
You can follow the Vault through the TCG dashboard on the website, regular publications including visuals and inventories, monthly community livestreams, and Proof of Reserve reports published four times per year, including detailed inventories, dated photos and notarised audits twice per year.
Yes. Vault assets are recorded on the balance sheet as assets allocated to a specific purpose, with a corresponding liability account (account 467). Segregation is set out in Article 38 of the SAS articles of association. TCG-VAULT does not have unrestricted disposal rights over these assets.
TCG-VAULT SAS is the legal and physical custodian of the Community Vault cards, stored in a dedicated and secured facility under its responsibility. Acquisition validation, inventory and operational monitoring are entrusted to GG Collector's Games, an appointed manager specialised in graded trading cards.
The exceptional collectibles of the Community Vault are kept in a bank safe-deposit box. The other assets are stored in a dedicated TCG-VAULT SAS facility under conditions suitable for preserving graded trading cards (humidity control, access security, traceability). The exact storage locations are confidential for security reasons. Asset traceability and integrity are ensured through documented inventories published as part of the quarterly Proof of Reserve process and through the notarised audits planned in the roadmap. Acquisition validation and inventory monitoring are handled by GG Collector's Games as appointed manager.
The Community Vault cards are regularly presented visually during community livestreams, especially the Grand Monthly Live, with new acquisitions highlighted. Individual physical visits are not planned. A documented inventory is published through the Proof of Reserve framework.
If insolvency proceedings affect TCG-VAULT SAS, the treatment of assets, including the Community Vault, will fall under mandatory French insolvency law and the decisions of the competent bodies, such as the court-appointed administrator, receiver and court. The Company has nevertheless expressed its intention, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to approval by the competent bodies, to prioritise transferring the Community Vault to a community-led continuation structure if such a structure is created to keep the project alive. This intention is not a binding commitment or a guarantee in favour of $TCGV or NFT holders, who have no direct patrimonial right over Company assets.
Yes. The Community Vault cards are covered by an insurance policy subscribed with MAIF and adapted to the value of the stored assets. The exact coverage terms, limits, exclusions and claim conditions may evolve depending on the applicable policy. Holders have no direct claim against the insurer.
The provisional date is 7 October 2026 at 6:00 PM (French time), subject to confirmation through the official channels.
You need a BNB Chain-compatible wallet, such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet, and USDC. Participation takes place through the project's Official Portal.
Wave 1 (Early Bird): 0.005 USDC per $TCGV, with a 30% $TCGNEXUS coefficient. Wave 2 (Final Countdown): 0.008 USDC per $TCGV, with a 30% $TCGNEXUS coefficient. Maximum contribution per wallet: 4% of the total presale allocation.
Yes. Under Article 13 of MiCA, you have a 14-day withdrawal right from the date of purchase. During that period, you may cancel your participation and recover 100% of your USDC. A cancellation button is available.
Your USDC are held by an authorised crypto-asset service provider (CASP) in a segregated account, in accordance with Article 10(3) of MiCA. TCG-VAULT has no access to those funds during that period.
60% goes to liquidity (PancakeSwap pool), 30% funds acquisitions for the Community Vault, and 10% goes to Structure & Marketing (maintenance, marketing, compliance and legal expenses).
Vesting: 10% available at the Token Generation Event (TGE), then 10% per month over 9 months. Listing on PancakeSwap takes place approximately 20 days after the presale closes.
No minimum amount is required to participate, except for covering BNB network gas fees, which remain the user's responsibility. However, the maximum amount per wallet is strictly capped at 4% of the total presale allocation, with no exception.
Only BEP-20 USDC on BNB Chain is accepted. The official USDC BEP-20 contract address will be published on the official website at launch. USDC sent from Ethereum (ERC-20), Polygon, Solana, Tron or any other network is not recognised and cannot be recovered if sent incorrectly.
Any transfer involving a token other than BEP-20 USDC, the wrong network, the wrong token or the wrong address may result in permanent loss of the funds sent. TCG-VAULT SAS cannot return funds sent by mistake. Always verify the network, token and address before each transaction.
Transaction fees are paid in BNB and depend on BNB Chain network congestion at the time of the transaction. As an indication, they usually range from a few euro cents to a few euros per transaction. You must hold a minimum BNB balance in your wallet to execute the purchase transaction. These fees are not collected by TCG-VAULT.
Any BNB Chain-compatible wallet can be used, including MetaMask, Trust Wallet, Rabby, SafePal or a hardware wallet connected through WalletConnect such as Ledger or Trezor. Using a hardware wallet is recommended for security.
During the 14-day period (Article 13 MiCA), a cancellation button is available from your member area on the Official Portal: you cancel your purchase and recover 100% of your USDC, with no fees and no justification required. Technically, the $TCGV corresponding to the cancelled purchase are permanently burned and never enter circulation, and the $TCGNEXUS bonus allocated for that purchase is clawed back. For a Founder NFT purchase, the NFT is destroyed, any $TCGV allocated are burned and the $TCGNEXUS bonus is clawed back.
The TCG-VAULT project is already fully funded by the founders' personal funds, amounting to EUR 100,000, including EUR 20,000 in share capital and EUR 80,000 in shareholder current-account contributions. Its operational launch is therefore not conditional on presale success: the project will launch when the presale closes, regardless of the amount raised. The presale is designed to adapt to actual participation volume, with the minted supply strictly proportional to the $TCGV actually purchased. There is no minimum threshold and no target conditioning the release of funds.
Yes. You may make as many purchase transactions as you wish during the presale period, within the 4% cap of the total presale allocation per wallet. Each transaction opens a new 14-day withdrawal period for the corresponding amount.
It is a limited series of 500 editions representing a level of membership and engagement within the project. It has a community and functional purpose and does not constitute an economic share, financial right or right over the Company. Depending on the applicable rules at the relevant time, the Founder NFT may provide access to reserved mechanisms such as eligibility for giveaways and Founder-specific activation features, access to certain ecosystem activations, and an invitation to the first physical community event planned in Phase 4, subject to its effective organisation. It may also represent seniority and recognition markers within the project. Effective access remains subject to the applicable eligibility requirements and to maintaining an active and validated member account.
Wave 1 (Founder Early): 200 USDC for 245 editions. Wave 2 (Founder Final): 350 USDC for 245 editions. 10 editions constitute the NFT Community Reserve, acquired by the SAS for community actions.
Wave 1 at 200 USDC remains open for 7 calendar days from the first effective sale, or until the 245 NFTs are sold out. Wave 2 at 350 USDC opens immediately after Wave 1 closes and lasts 10 calendar days. After that period, a final "Last Chance" window of 120 hours, or 5 calendar days, automatically starts, during which remaining Founder NFTs remain available at 350 USDC. After that, the Founder NFT presale is definitively closed. Unsold NFTs then remain permanently available for purchase on the official website at 350 USDC; this residual availability does not constitute an extension of the presale.
It is activated through a refundable deposit of approximately 25 USDC in $TCGV. This deposit is not a purchase price; it is refundable. Only one Basic NFT is allowed per person.
Yes. The deposit is refundable under the conditions set out in the applicable documentation. If the deposit is returned, the NFT is automatically burned and the associated benefits cease.
No. TCG-VAULT NFTs, both Founder and Basic, are community membership instruments. They do not grant any patrimonial right, right to profits, buyback right or right over the Community Vault.
The Basic NFT can be obtained from the TGE (Token Generation Event) onwards. The deposit must be made in freely available $TCGV: for example, the portion of your presale $TCGV already released through vesting (10% at the TGE, then 10% per month), or $TCGV acquired on the market after listing. $TCGV still under vesting cannot be used for the deposit. The Basic NFT is obtained directly through the Official Portal at www.tcg-vault.io. The process is as follows: (1) create your member account by entering your first name, last name, postal address and email address; (2) connect your BNB Chain-compatible wallet and ensure it contains enough freely available $TCGV; (3) go to the dedicated section and approve the $TCGV deposit corresponding to the equivalent of 25 USDC at the market price at the time of signature; (4) sign the transaction. The Basic NFT is then minted to your wallet and activated. This deposit is not a purchase price; it is refundable in $TCGV under the Terms of Use. Only BNB network gas fees are added at your expense. One Basic NFT is allowed per natural person.
Once your NFT (Basic or Founder) is in your wallet, you must connect it to your member account in order to benefit from the associated community features. The process is the same for both: (1) log in to the Official Portal at www.tcg-vault.io with the wallet holding your NFT; (2) go to "My account", then "My NFTs"; (3) click "Connect my NFT" and sign the transaction. Your NFT is then activated and linked to your member account. This step is required to validate your eligibility for the features associated with your NFT (contests, event access, Founder program features where applicable, status tracking, etc.).
Yes. The Founder NFT is freely transferable on NFT marketplaces compatible with BNB Chain. TCG-VAULT SAS does not control the secondary market and does not collect imposed royalties. Any secondary transaction is carried out under the sole responsibility of the parties involved.
Only the NFT itself is transferred to the buyer, who will then benefit from the features reserved for the Founder program. The $TCGNEXUS you have already accumulated remains permanently linked to your wallet as a soulbound token and is not transferable to the buyer. The 30% bonus on $TCGNEXUS allocation during the presale is linked to the presale period, not to holding the Founder NFT, and is therefore not affected by resale.
Yes. There is no limit to the number of Founder NFTs a single wallet can hold. By contrast, the Basic NFT is strictly limited to one per person. Only one wallet may activate the refundable 25 USDC deposit for one Basic NFT.
TCG-VAULT SAS cannot restore access to a lost wallet or transfer the assets associated with it, including NFTs, $TCGV or $TCGNEXUS. Keep your seed phrase secure, offline and never stored as a photo. No member of the TCG-VAULT team will ever ask for your seed phrase.
BNB network gas fees are borne by the user. The Founder NFT purchase price, 200 or 350 USDC, and the refundable Basic NFT deposit (25 USDC in $TCGV) are separate from these fees. No other fee is collected by TCG-VAULT SAS.
It is a free, single-level referral program. When a referred user completes a validated purchase, the referrer receives 0.5% in $TCGR. $TCGR is a soulbound token convertible only into a gift card for the TCG-VAULT store, with no right to cash conversion or monetary withdrawal.
Yes. As soon as the TCG-VAULT website opens, each member can generate a personal referral link. When a referred user clicks the link, connects with a wallet and signs the linking transaction, the referrer-referee relationship is immutably recorded on BNB Chain. Effective $TCGR distribution starts from the $TCGV listing on PancakeSwap, scheduled approximately 20 days after the presale closes. From that listing onward, each $TCGV purchase made by one of your referred users through the Smart Router (Router ON, Official Portal) automatically triggers the minting of 0.5% in $TCGR to your wallet. Purchases made in Router OFF mode (direct DEX) do not generate $TCGR.
The referrer shares the referral link with the referred user. The referred user clicks the link, connects with a wallet and signs a transaction that records the link on BNB Chain. Once validated, the registration is final: the referrer cannot be changed later.
Yes. All referred users linked on-chain to your wallet from the website launch are counted toward status progression (Silver, Gold, Elite, VIP), provided they meet the criteria for qualified active referred users: they must be linked and must have completed at least one validated purchase.
$TCGR is allocated automatically from the $TCGV listing on PancakeSwap, scheduled approximately 20 days after the presale closes. Each $TCGV purchase made by a referred user through the Smart Router (Router ON, Official Portal) triggers the minting of 0.5% in $TCGR to the referrer's wallet. Purchases made in Router OFF mode do not generate $TCGR.
$TCGR is a soulbound, non-transferable token credited to your wallet as a referral reward. It can be converted only into a gift card for the project store, with no right to cash conversion or monetary withdrawal. It cannot be sold, transferred or converted into money.
Silver starts at 50 qualified active referrals, Gold at 150, Elite at 500 and VIP at 1,000. Benefits are exclusively in kind: badges, early access, private channels, gift boxes and exclusive events. There is no additional financial commission.
No. The program is based on a single referral level. There is no remuneration based on multiple levels. Ambassadors are not distributors or financial intermediaries.
No. Ambassadors undertake not to make any promise of yield, valuation or financial gain. Any public communication must clearly state its promotional nature, in line with the French law of 9 June 2023 on commercial influence.
Yes, provided each person has their own wallet and their own member account. Wallets used must not be controlled by one and the same person. Self-referral is prohibited; otherwise, the Company reserves the right to invalidate the relevant links.
Your status is updated automatically once the required number of qualified active referrals is reached. The calculation is performed periodically according to the rules specified in the Terms of Use. You can view your current status and progress in your member area.
Once a referred user has completed at least one validated purchase through the Smart Router (Router ON), that user is permanently counted as a qualified active referral in your program. Later inactivity does not affect your progression or acquired status: the achieved tier (Silver, Gold, Elite, VIP) remains permanently yours. The detailed qualification and counting rules are defined in the Terms of Use.
Digital funds are distributed across secure wallets using Gnosis Safe multisignature. Community wallets (Community Vault in transit, Community Rewards) operate on a 2-of-2 basis, moving to 2-of-3 no later than the Listing Date (with the addition of an independent community representative); GG Collector's Games' signature is required for every community transaction. All other wallets (Structure & Marketing, Liquidity, Structuring Reserve, Strategic Reserve, LP tokens) operate on a 3-of-3 basis, including an independent trusted third party, and move to 3-of-4 no later than the Listing Date. The independent community representative is a back-up signer, with no decision-making or governance power over the assets, and grants members no rights. All movements are traceable on-chain through BscScan. This setup is designed to strengthen security and operational traceability, without constituting an absolute security guarantee.
Public wallet addresses (Community Vault in transit, Structure & Marketing, Liquidity, LP/Tokens) are published on the official website and can be viewed in real time on BscScan. Direct links to each wallet are available from the ecosystem dashboard and are referenced in the official project documents (White Paper, MiCA White Paper, FAQ).
Proof of Reserve is a documentary transparency framework, in principle published four times per year. Depending on applicable procedures, it may include documented inventories, storage evidence, external verifications and, where relevant, audits. Implementation rules may evolve depending on applicable technical, operational, legal and regulatory constraints.
Yes. All smart contracts are audited by Hacken, a recognised blockchain cybersecurity company.
No member of the TCG-VAULT team will ever initiate contact through private message. Nobody will ever ask for your seed phrase or private keys. Any urgent or insistent private-message request is potentially fraudulent. Always verify information through the official channels.
The only official URL is www.tcg-vault.io. Any other address, including spelling variants, other domain extensions or websites ending in .com, .net or .xyz, is fraudulent. Always check the exact spelling before connecting your wallet.
Check the exact URL, which must be www.tcg-vault.io and nothing else; verify the HTTPS certificate shown by the padlock in the address bar; and verify the smart-contract address through the official channels before granting any approval. Never click links received by private message. No team member will ever contact you spontaneously by private message.
The smart contracts have been audited by Hacken and include emergency pause functions for sensitive operations. If a vulnerability is discovered, the Company would implement available mitigation measures, communicate through its official channels and coordinate with its audit partner. However, residual vulnerability risk can never be fully excluded; this risk is disclosed in the MiCA White Paper.
Yes. The TCG-VAULT smart contracts, already audited by Hacken, will benefit from the Hacken DualDefense program from August 2026: a mechanism combining Hacken's professional audit with an additional review by the HackenProof community. During a dedicated period, white hats from the HackenProof network will be able to review the code and report any critical vulnerability, rewarded through the DualDefense Flash Pools. An additional bug bounty program may also be opened later by the Company. Any vulnerability discovery must already be reported responsibly and confidentially to security@tcg-vault.io. Prior public disclosure is not permitted.
Rewards are 100% physical: graded cards (PSA, Beckett), sealed products such as displays, collector boxes and boosters, goodies and exclusive merchandise. The rewards budget is separate from the Community Vault.
Contests are available to NFT holders, either Founder or Basic, with an active and validated member account. Contests are knowledge-based, such as quizzes or trivia, and are not lotteries or games of chance.
It is a monthly community livestream including presentation of recent Vault acquisitions, live draws using verifiable third-party draw software, flash giveaways, community contests and live Box Breaks. Detailed participation rules, eligibility conditions and applicable rules for contests and giveaways are defined in the Terms of Use at www.tcg-vault.io/cgu.
A Box Break is the live opening of sealed products, such as boosters, displays or boxes, during community livestreams. Some Box Breaks are funded by TCG-VAULT SAS to add relevant cards to the Community Vault, with the remaining cards forming part of the Community Rewards inventory, some of which may be awarded directly during the live event. Other Box Breaks are organised for community activation during the Grand Monthly Live: depending on the rules announced before the draw, the winner receives either the unopened sealed product or all cards opened live.
Two mechanisms coexist. Random draws, based on chance, are performed through verifiable third-party draw software, live during the Grand Monthly Live or under the announced conditions. In accordance with Article L.121-36 of the French Consumer Code, participation is free and with no purchase obligation; see the Terms of Use for details. Knowledge-based contests such as quizzes and trivia rely on skill rather than chance and are therefore not subject to the free-entry requirement. They are reserved for community members holding a Basic or Founder NFT and an active member account. The best answers, under the rules defined for each contest, determine the winners.
Shipping costs are covered by the Community Rewards wallet for all shipments. For shipments outside mainland France, any import customs duties or taxes remain the responsibility of the recipient under local regulations.
Each winner receives a notification email after winning. The winner must confirm the delivery address through that email. Shipment then takes place within an indicative timeframe of 15 to 30 business days from confirmation. For rewards outside Box Breaks, such as graded cards, boxes, goodies or sealed products, the winner may be offered an option: if the prize is not of interest, the TCG-VAULT store may buy back the item at the reference market price, using sources such as Cardmarket or eBay sold listings depending on product category, and the amount will be paid by bank transfer. The implementation and exact rules of this buyback option will be communicated through the official channels.
International shipping is possible to most countries, subject to applicable customs restrictions. Some countries may be excluded for logistical or regulatory reasons. Any import customs duties or taxes remain the responsibility of the recipient under local regulations.
The TCG-VAULT Store is the ecosystem's official store, operated directly by TCG-VAULT SAS. It offers the community a catalogue of trading-card-related products, including sealed products such as boosters, displays and boxes, single cards, graded cards, and official project goodies and merchandise. The Store applies preferential community pricing made possible by a deliberately controlled margin.
The Store will be active from 7 October 2026, the presale opening date, in a restricted version with a limited catalogue and essential features. Full deployment will take place in Phase 3 of the roadmap, estimated between Q4 2026 and Q1 2027, with progressive expansion of the catalogue, features and logistics options.
Access to the Store is conditional on jointly holding $TCGV and at least one (1) $TCGNEXUS in the member's wallet: together, the two tokens form the access key, as an eligibility condition. They are neither consumed nor spent during a purchase — they are not used as means of payment, and $TCGNEXUS remains permanently in the member's wallet (soulbound status). Any member meeting this condition automatically benefits from preferential pricing across the entire catalogue.
The Store accepts the following payment methods: euros, through an authorised payment service provider established in the European Union; USDC, directly on BNB Chain (BEP-20) or through a conversion provider for other crypto-assets (BTC, ETH, BNB, etc.), with TCG-VAULT SAS receiving the funds in USDC; and $TCGR gift cards as a complementary payment method.
$TCGR accumulated through the Ambassador Program can be converted into euro-denominated gift cards usable across the entire TCG-VAULT Store catalogue. Conversion is performed from your member area under the rules defined in the Terms of Use. $TCGR cannot under any circumstances be converted into cash or another crypto-asset and does not grant any monetary withdrawal right.
