HoloScope questions, answered
What people ask most about the terminal, its prices and its fees.
OPEN THE TERMINALCommon questions
What is a Pokemon trading terminal?
A single screen for finding, pricing and buying graded Pokémon cards, the way a trading terminal works for other markets. HoloScope shows live listings next to the completed sales behind each price, then lets you buy, bid or set a limit order from the same place.
Is HoloScope a marketplace?
No. HoloScope reads and trades listings on Collector Crypt, Phygitals and Beezie. The cards stay on those marketplaces until you buy them.
Which cards can I trade?
Graded and raw Pokémon cards listed on the connected marketplaces. Most of the market is graded slabs from PSA, BGS, CGC and SGC, in English and Japanese.
What does it cost?
Looking is free. HoloScope charges 1% on a buy and 1% on a sell. Fees charged by the marketplace itself are separate.
Do I need a crypto wallet first?
No. Sign in with Google, X or email and a Solana wallet is created for you. You can also sign in with a wallet you already use. Trades settle in USDC, and you keep a small SOL balance for network fees.
Is $HOLO live?
No. $HOLO is not live. Anyone offering it today is not HoloScope, so trust official links only.
Is the sign-in wallet mine?
Yes. HoloScope uses Privy for accounts and embedded Solana wallets, and it does not store your private keys or recovery material. The wallet holds your USDC, your SOL and your cards.
How much SOL do I need?
Keep at least 0.001 SOL for network fees. Listing on Phygitals also takes a refundable deposit of about 0.0023 SOL, which goes back when the listing closes.
What is a HoloScope estimate?
The value supported by completed sales of the same card, grader and grade. Recent sales count for more, and unusual sales count for less. It is market data, not a guaranteed bid.
What is Deal Score?
A rating that combines the discount to the estimate with liquidity, confidence, identity quality and market depth. A big discount on weak evidence scores low on purpose.
Why is a card missing from the scanner?
The scanner shows cards it can price with enough evidence for that exact grade. A card without enough sales at its grade stays out of the priced feed instead of borrowing a price from another grade.
How do limit orders work?
You set a card, a price and how many copies you want. When a matching listing appears at or below your price, HoloScope tries to buy it from your balance. You can edit or stop an order at any time.
Can I use HoloScope on my phone?
Yes. The terminal runs in a mobile browser, and the Telegram bot @holoscopetrade_bot carries your alerts.
Is this investment advice?
No. HoloScope provides software and information. Data can be late or wrong, and cards can lose value or be hard to sell.
