This is sooo good! π₯π
Check out PD Tools built by @jonwynnx
We havenβt minted yet at @Pocket_Dragons_ but our community is active, supporting each other and building exciting productsβ¦
Already 2 community games created and now a useful website for keepers to engage together.
This is exactly why we have been taking our time to build a strong community before mint. This is the exact culture of community (members) which will ensure we stay relevant in the longterm.
We as a team work hard, keep delivering high quality, support and motivate every single member. The community in return has fun, appreciates our effort and also wants to add value to the project. Thatβs why over 1k people show up in our weekly AMA in discord.
We are building for and with the community. We are here to win together! π
Hello Keepers π
I have been quietly working on something small for our community, and I would be truly grateful if you could spare a few minutes to try it and tell me what you think.
It is called PD Tools. It is a little home for tools made for keepers, and the first tool is Blinky's Friends.
π pdtools.xyz
Why I made it
Every day, so many of you share lovely Pocket Dragons posts in the Discord. I noticed how easy it is for some of them to be missed, even when the person put real heart into them. I wanted to try building one calm place where we can find these posts and support one another. it is far from perfect, but I hope it can be useful.
What Blinky's Friends does
β’ It gathers the Pocket Dragons posts shared in the community Discord into one organised feed
β’ The latest official team posts are pinned at the top, so updates from the team are easy to find
β’ You can view posts from the last 24 hours, today, yesterday or the whole week
β’ You can choose to see everyone, only the team or only the community
β’ You can search for any word or any handle
β’ Quote posts can be shown or hidden with one switch
Features to help us support each other
β€ "Needs love" shows posts no visitor has opened yet, so quieter Keepers get some attention too
β€ Posts you have already opened fade from your view, so you can see what is still waiting
β€ A counter shows how many new posts arrived since your last visit
β€ "Your day so far" shows how many posts you have opened and how many are left
β€ A small daily goal invites you to open 5 quiet posts, and a streak keeps count of the days you visit
β€ If you are ever unsure what to say, there are friendly reply ideas you can use or change
β€ Community pulse gives a simple picture of how active the day has been
β€ A weekly card shows the top posts of the week, and you can save and share it
Keepers directory
There is also a Keepers page listing community members who wear the dragon in their X name. You can sort it in different ways, including a "For you" option based on the Keepers you visit most. I hope it helps us find each other more easily.
Small touches I hope you enjoy
Why it is safe and convenient
β’ No login and no account needed
β’ No wallet connection and nothing to sign
β’ It never asks for your X password or access to your X account
β’ Your progress stays only on your own device, and a short backup code can move it to another phone
β’ Every post opens directly on X, so you like and reply there as usual
What I would kindly ask you to test
If you have a little time, I would really appreciate your help with these:
β’ Open the site on your phone and on a computer if you can. Does it load smoothly, and does anything look broken or out of place?
β’ Use the filters, the search bar and "Needs love". Do they show what you expect?
β’ Open a few posts. Do they fade from your view afterwards, and does the counter update?
β’ Try the daily goal, the reply ideas and the weekly card. Are they helpful or confusing?
β’ Visit the Keepers page. Are you listed if you wear the dragon? Is anyone missing who should be there?
β’ Turn the sound on and off, and try day and night. Does anything feel annoying or slow?
β’ Try a language other than English. Does anything read strangely?
β’ Most of all, does it make supporting other Keepers easier for you?
All feedback is welcome
Please do not hold back. Good or bad, every bit of feedback helps improve the tool. If something feels wrong, slow or confusing, I would honestly rather hear it than not know. If you have an idea, even a small one or one you think might sound silly, please share it. There may be a better way to do something that I have not thought of.
You can leave a rating on the small card on the site, reply to this post, send me a DM, or tag me in the Discord. I will read every message and do my best to respond.
Thank you
A heartfelt thank you to @TradingJoker and also to everyone who tested it earlyπ
Just finished our AMA today with over 1k listeners π₯π
Soooo huge, thanks for everyone turning and supporting!
Feels like NFTs are back, it's 2022 again.
Also check out our new animation, do you like it?
Pocket Dragons Tech Update
Two weeks since the last update on @Pocket_Dragons_ website, and this is our biggest release since the Hatchery opened π₯
Since that update: 440+ changes across 1,300+ files, every one passing 6,000+ automated checks and recorded browser runs before it reached you.
New: Ember Chamber, our first real mini-game inside the Hatchery
π₯ Ember Chamber:β¨
Help Blinky catch the falling embers and beat his 99 score in one game to win the new Ember Chamber badge.
- Hot embers are worth more, sparks give big points but cool your Blaze, and cold cinders cost a life. Real choices every second.
- Fill the Blaze and everything counts double. Survive the night until dawn.
- Collect all 16 eggs. Some only appear as the featured egg of the night.
- New animations for Blinky, a full music score and real instrument sounds for every catch.
- Play with taps, swipes, keys or your mouse.
π Tonight's challenge:β¨
One new night every day, the same night for everyone. Tonight is Night 1. β¨Every night plays differently: windy, frost, fire and more.β¨ Keep your streak going by playing once a day, on your own local day.
π Rankings:β¨
Compare your Ember Chamber scores with every Keeper: Tonight's ranking and an All time ranking.
π¬ Keep the conversation going:β¨
A new quest and badge. Support other Keepers' posts on X by commenting, liking, reposting and following each other. The more your name shows up, the better your chance to earn the Community Keeper badge. We manually chose winners.
π Keeper Ledger, fully rebuilt:
- The top 500 Keepers, grouped by how many badges they hold
- Your standing: your rank, why you are there, and what your next badge would do for you ("Your next badge lifts you to rank 12")
- "Up 5 places since your last visit"
- New this week: see who just earned a badge
- Badge Census: the rarest badge, and how many Keepers hold each one
- Sign in with X right on the Ledger
- Its own preview image when you share it on X
πΊοΈ Quest board, redesigned:β¨
Every quest now has the same clean card. Your unfinished quests come first, with clearer words everywhere.
Fixes and hardening:
- Sound now comes back after you leave the browser and return
- Badges you already collected no longer show their ceremony again when you sign in
- Sharing on mobile opens the X app directly
- Smoother scrolling on the Ledger, and no more surprise refreshes
- Better layouts on every phone size
- A private, cookie-free visit counter to help us improve the site
- Improved website performance (more significant updates on this coming next week)
- A lot of minor fixes...
We hope you like the new version! We are not stopping. All Gas No Brakes. Remember PD is not a gaming brand aiming for AAA games, but we are simply delivering fun and entertaining moment. We are building on multiple pillars. Web3 and financial, art, animation, tech, entertainment, community and much more.
See you next week with even more updates and new kind of badges! π€«
Numbers go up π
But we are not done yet. Iβve got something exciting coming (tomorrow) for @Pocket_Dragons_ ππ€«
Itβs been literally 30 days since we launched @Pocket_Dragons_ π
And somehow, here we are:
π 12K followers on X
π₯ 9K members in Discord
ποΈ 950+ people in a single AMA last week
π
23,590 Badges held
Thank you to everyone who has supported us along the way.

Interested in a WL spot for @Pocket_Dragons_ ? π
Hereβs your chance:
The top 'X' spots on the Keeper Ledger leaderboard will earn PRE-SALE spots.
More details soon..

Pocket Dragons Tech Update
Two weeks since the @Pocket_Dragons_ Hatchery opened, 6 days since the last update. We keep shipping π₯
Since that update: 93 changes across 226 files, every one passing 4,300+ automated checks and recorded browser runs before it reached you.
New this week: 3 new Keeper Quests/Badges:
π΅ Blinky says:
Blinky plays a pattern on the incubator's own three buttons and you play it back. Five sequences, each longer than the last, and the later ones are melodies you already know β with holds, rests and real timing. Miss five times and he shows you the pattern. Once you've sealed it you can play again whenever you like.
π Bring 3 Keepers:
Your own Keeper link. Three Keepers who join through it and complete onboarding count. (They need to be verified on X by Premium/blue badge to qualify.)
ποΈ Join the Dragon Stage:
Attend 3 weekly AMAs in Discord, start to finish. A watcher listens to the stage and counts you automatically.
Three new 3D badges by @plooshGWIN!!
Fixes and hardening:
- Fixed users landing in the non-interactive Hatchery, which limited what you could do. The 3d engine now works better with even more devices
- Improved the quality of the incubator assets. Now looking significantly better
- The Loading bar now measures the real download more accurately
- A lot of minor fixes...
We hope you like the new version! We are not stopping. All Gas No Brakes. See you next week with even more updates!

@plooshGWIN cooked on this π₯
So good
Pocket Dragons Tech Update
One week since the @Pocket_Dragons_ Hatchery opened. Itβs time for a Tech update. π₯
The numbers first:
- 6,500+ Keeper cards created. That's 6,500+ of you who walked the whole journey, finished each onboarding step, connected, and got recorded.
- 5,300+ Keepers onboarded within the first 48 hours, gaining the early supporter badge
- Far far more came through the doors and looked around.
- We trended on X three times.
- Huge traffic on launch day and after, and the Hatchery held. No downtime, no lost records.
The feedback from the community, from partners and from some serious names in crypto and NFTs has been the best week we've had. Thank you.
While all of that was happening, we kept shipping. Since launch day: 26 changes across 159 files, every one of them passing 1,400+ automated checks and recorded browser runs before it reached you.
Done Fixes and hardening:
- Smarter handling of X rate limits and follow checks, so verification stays fast when thousands arrive at once
- Improved Keeper card rendering
- Showing X profile pictures properly
- Support tooling so we can find and fix any Keeper's record in minutes
- Mobile Ledger layout fixes for iPhone
- We now remember longer you finishing the onboarding and connecting with X. So next time visiting the website you donβt have to repeatedly enter the code and awaken the egg
New this week: Launching Keeper Quests now.
- A quest board with four quests to earn new badges: Chronicler, Standard Bearer, and two secret rites you'll have to discover
- Standard Bearer is detected automatically from your DRGN server tag on Discord, and stays only while you wear it
- Four new badge designs by Godwin, as real 3D seals
- Improved ceremony for every new badge, with a badge you can grab, throw, spin and flip
- Open any badge from your collection and inspect it up close
- The Keeper Ledger now ranks by badges: most seals first, then who got there first, with every seal shown and named
More quests and features are coming. I am working on a cool new one for next week ππ€«
We are a lean team of 4.
Less people but cost-efficient.
Already shipping higher quality and more than most existing teams.
With our very long experiences in crypto/nfts, skills and passion, we will make sure Pocket Dragons turns into a blue chip of this and future cycles.
We are hungry for setting new standards.
Hungry for art and animations.
Hungry for tech.
Hungry for marketing and communication.
Hungry for building an awesome community.
Hungry for staying relevant longterm.
Hungry for winning, winning together!
Pocket Dragons making impressions!
Lovely seeing legend @CrypSaf liking what we are building
A great call with @djsamwithers founder of @Pocket_Dragons_
Impressed by the team's experience
What stood out:
- 3D website
- Burn mechanics
- 1 year building
Happy to see projects of this high quality dropping
Looking forward to supporting & hatching π€π
