AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
CatchBack is a platform that digitizes physical collectible cards. After purchasing digital card packs, users "open" them using a verifiable random algorithm. The cards obtained are stored in a vault, and users can choose to retain digital ownership, request physical delivery, resell on the platform's marketplace, or sell directly back to the platform. The project recently completed an 8 million USD seed round.
