THE ARCADE THAT PAYS IT FORWARD
A non-profit arcade where people make art, learn bitcoin, and fund each other — zero fees, nothing held by us, powered by energy we generate ourselves.
HOW THE ARCADE WORKS
ONE QUARTER AT A TIME
1. GET A TAG
Two doors, one arcade: a free @frens play tag, or an @pacsarcade school tag for artists. Pick your door — verified on nostr today, anchored to Bitcoin at the next ceremony.
2. LEARN FREE
Three foundation classes — bitcoin, nostr, your wallet — live with Pacman. Every class etches a cert to your wallet, fee on the house.
3. HOLD KEYS
Self-custody is the first lesson: your seed phrase is the chest in the attic. Nobody legitimate ever asks you to open it.
4. CREATE
Earn artist mode and run a campaign, or drop sats straight into someone else's dream — wallet to wallet, no middleman.
NOW PLAYING — THE FLAGSHIP RUN
PAC'S ARCADE — THE BRAND KIT

THE FRENS NETWORK
EVERY PLAYER COUNTS
Free @frens tags for everyone — no email, no password, no company in the middle. Your key is your login, your tag is your passport to nostr, an open network nobody owns.
Tags anchor to Bitcoin in batches: one tiny transaction, thousands of names, permanent. Your profile page is your start screen — the certs you've earned, and soon hearts from other frens and a tip jar of your own.
THE ARTIST FLOW
EARNED, NOT BOUGHT
Artists run campaigns — but the floor is earned: register your tag, take the three free classes, link your wallet. All three certs open artist mode.
Then your campaign gets its own cabinet: its own wallet (we never touch it), a pellet track of live support, milestones the whole community can verify, and a spot on the local billboard network.
ZERO FEES. NOTHING HELD. EVER.
Pac's Arcade is a non-profit. Contributions go wallet-to-wallet — straight from you to the creator — and every campaign wallet's spending is publicly visible on-chain. Paying it forward for someone else should be normal. 💛
