New Player Offerings
On TopStrike, every new player enters the game through an IPO — Initial Player Offering.
An IPO is your first opportunity to buy a player's cards at early bonding curve prices.
What Is an IPO?
An IPO is a short launch period where:
A new player becomes available for the first time
Prices increase smoothly as cards are bought
Early demand establishes the player's market value
IPO activity helps bootstrap prize pools
After the IPO window ends, buy fees are removed and the per-user buy limit no longer applies.
IPO Window & Limits
Each IPO lasts 20 minutes
Per-User Buy Limit: Each user can buy a maximum of 5 player cards during the IPO.
This ensures fair access and prevents early concentration by a small number of wallets.
No Auctions. No Waiting.
Unlike traditional IPOs:
No auctions
No bidding wars
No off-chain processes
As soon as a new player drops, you can buy instantly, on-chain, with full transparency.
Just click, buy — and you own a piece of that player.
TopStrike Snipes the First Cards
TopStrike automatically purchases the initial supply for each new IPO.
These cards are not kept long term by the team.
Instead, they are distributed for free via player packs to real, engaged users through:
Discord spot prizes
Small competitions
Surprise rewards
Community participation incentives
This helps distribute early cards to engaged community members rather than concentrating them in a small number of wallets
IPO Fees
During the 20-minute IPO window, every buy includes a 20% buy tax.
This fee helps bootstrap rewards from day one and funds the ongoing operation of the platform.
After the IPO:
All buy fees drop to zero
Buying and selling continue normally on the bonding curve
Setting Your Price During IPO
When buying during an IPO, you can set the maximum price you're prepared to pay using the trade slip.
How it works:
Choose how many cards you want
Set your maximum acceptable price
If the curve price stays within your limit, the trade executes
If the price moves beyond it, the trade will not execute
This protects you from overpaying during fast-moving IPO demand.
What Happens After the IPO?
Once the 20-minute IPO period ends:
Buy fees are removed
The player trades normally on the bonding curve
Prices continue to rise with buys and fall with sells
Cards purchased during IPO are eligible for Matchday rewards, subject to the standard eligibility rules.
From this point on, price action is driven by player performance, trading activity, and market sentiment.
