Building Arcadia: From Late-Night Joke to Asia's Future Card Trading Hub

November 17, 2024
"From Trading Card Scams to Building Asia's Game-Changing Marketplace"

Hey everyone! Sky here. 👋

Whether you're sipping your morning coffee or pulling an all-nighter, welcome to Arcadia's inaugural post! You're probably wondering "What's Arcadia?" and "Why should I care?" (Maybe even "What's for lunch?" – but that's a whole different story!)

The Origin Story

Picture this: a group of friends, multiple trading card scams, and one wild idea. That's how Arcadia began. Sure, we could've just created another TCGplayer.com clone, but where's the fun in that? Taking a page from Apple's book, we decided to "think different."

Our Vision for Asia

Arcadia isn't just another marketplace – it's our answer to Asia's trading card ecosystem. We're building something special with:

  • Support for multiple languages
  • Partnerships with local card shops
  • Deep-dive data analytics
  • And plenty more surprises!

Why Arcadia Matters

Here's the thing – why should great trading platforms only exist in the US or Japan? Why limit ourselves to just a few games? Nobody else was stepping up to build this, so we thought, "Hey, we know this space inside out. Let's do it ourselves!"

What's Next?

We're targeting Q1 2025 for our Beta Test. Want to be part of this revolution?
