Preface: POG, The Iconic 90s Brand is Back
Flashback to 1993, the wildly popular POG® game sparked a worldwide craze of Millennial
collecting, trading, and playing. From 1994 to 1998, over 10 billion Authentic POG® pieces were
sold by Official Retailers in over 30 countries. (US, CANADA, RUSSIA, FRANCE, UK,
GERMANY, SPAIN, ITALY, ISRAEL, AUSTRALIA, MEXICO, BRAZIL…).
California-based POG Unlimited, dba the WORLD POG FEDERATION™, has held the
trademarks and copyrights to the POG® brand since 1993. This is critical as others have tried to
launch digital emulations of POG® without the Intellectual Properties.
POG®, The Game You Collect, was the first game and collectible sold as trading cards. POG®
discs featured artwork from POGMAN™, the brand’s legendary mascot, as well as more than
100 licensed brands like Disney Pocahontas, Lion King, Toy Story, Star Wars, Barbie, Smurf,
Sonic, Donkey Kong, Power Rangers, POKEMON, NHL…

POG® Collections with POG® BRAND IP : Pogman’s Adventures
The POG® craze engaged hundreds of millions of millennials and gen x, both as gamers
winning as many Pogs as possible and as collectors appreciating the unique art on every Pog,
from hundreds of popular artists, major hollywood brands, athletes, and some of the largest
companies in the world, including Coca-Cola, Disney, and McDonalds. The success was such
that almost anyone who was between 5 and 10 in ‘94-’98 remembers POG® and POGMAN™.
Fast-forward to today and these diehard fans are all grown up, totaling ~165 million nostalgic
adults in over 35 countries. Among these grown-up fans are tech savvy, blockchain enthusiasts,
investors, collectors, gamers, developers and entertainment, sports, and media celebrities.
According to Katy Perry, POGs have always been Millennial Currency (2021)
3
25 years later… POG Unlimited has decided to relaunch POG® and POGMAN™ brands with
the ambition to make the POG® Franchise a World-Class Entertainment Brand.
POG Unlimited deploys its strategy among two target groups: today’s kids and grown-up
POGGER™ adults.
To address the kid’s audience POG Unlimited signed a shopping agreement with a Hollywood
Production company and a major movie star granting an exclusive right to develop an
audiovisual program (anime, tv series, film …) based on POG® and POGMAN™ property.
POG Unlimited decided to focus its adult strategy on initiating a decentralized digital
collectibles-based gaming ecosystem through its subsidiary POG Digital. The POG® brand
DNA has always been Games & Collections, two major drivers for interoperable gaming.
POG Unlimited believes the growth opportunities for POG Digital are Unlimited.

Mission & Vision:
POG® has always been a COLLECTIBLE, a GAME … and a COIN…and a Compliment…and
an Award…and an Expression…and an Emoji…it’s been Poggers.

video gaming industry to be worth $268 Billion by 2025 (WePC)
We believe POG® players, mid sized / grass roots / indie developers, and brands / IP's looking
to be in the web3 space are together a very high-potential user-base for us to serve.
Even now, game developers are already integrating POG's blockchain collectibles into their
Web3 games using versatile software integrating Unity and Unreal with Solana, Ethereum, and
Theta upcoming. Digital Pogs carry intrinsic worth beyond the gaming sphere, offering players
the opportunity to redeem physical and digital collectibles as they engage in building their
perfect Pog collection. Digital Pogs will be accessible across a variety of games on numerous
gaming platforms, while each Pog exhibits variable in-game attributes in each specific game.
● Initial Sales / Minting yields [33%] of the sale for the 3rd Party IP Owner.
● % residually on qualified Secondary Sales.
● Utility Requirement: your secret Pog must provide major benefits for holders.

Example: You’re playing a game online and after completing a difficult quest you earn a rare
Authentic POG® Digital Collectible. You have the choice to redeem for a limited edition
collector’s box or sell it, unredeemed, on any enabled 3rd Party Marketplace. If you claim it you
receive a physical limited edition collector's box which if you open contains 12 packs of limited
edition Pogs… and one of the packs holds the secret Pog which claims a legendary digital
membership for private benefits, exclusive redeemables, and even bigger rewards from your
favorite brands.
Solution:
Blockchain, Dapps, & Digital Wallet
We have achieved tremendous accomplishments in building our Solana ecosystem including
one of the most popular blockchain games in the Solana Saga dApp Store. We have built
collections and games on Solana, Ethereum, and even Bitcoin. We have learned tremendous
lessons through building these pieces of our ecosystem and we are prepared and focused on
creating a critical component to our long-term vision of interoperability across gaming, across
dimensions, and across ages…The POG® Blockchain.
In partnership with Theta Labs (whitepaper) and Amazon Web Services, POG® is set to
harness the power of Theta's patented blockchain technology, its Metachain architecture and
Amazon AWS's robust cloud infrastructure to provide an unparalleled platform for the
authentication, trade, and engagement of digital and physical collectibles. This blockchain will
be a sandbox for POG® Enthusiasts to build and for POG® to authenticate physical and digital
collectibles on-chain.

Digital Infrastructure
Within blockchain technology's rapid evolution, the digital collectibles market has experienced
explosive growth. Blockchain enables secure independent ownership and trade of digital assets,
enhancing their value, collectibility, and appeal. In partnership with the Theta Network and
Amazon AWS, we aim to bring these benefits to our vast array of physical and digital
collectibles.
Introduction
The POG® Blockchain gives developers access to the wide array of authentic assets and the
expansive collectibles economy that POG® has built. POG® has always been a canvas for our
favorite content. This blockchain will store history and evidence of authenticity while giving
developers more efficient features and extreme cost saving in launching content into digital
spaces. Creators on the POG® Blockchain will utilize world class, patent protected technology
to reduce the costs of hosting and streaming content by 60%, while ensuring ownership, rights,
and royalties are protected for each creator. The enterprise validator and governance council for
the POG® Blockchain on Theta Network is led by global leaders including Google, Samsung,
Sony, Creative Artists Agency (CAA), Binance, Blockchain Ventures, DHVC and gumi.
POG® Assets
We are honored by the amazing list of brands lined up to release collectibles on the POG®
Blockchain as those digital assets are used to create their custom physical POG® Collections.
New assets will be authenticated and recorded on the POG® blockchain, ensuring data integrity
and traceability. Developers can incorporate these assets into their applications, presenting new
interactive and engaging experiences to our collective user base. POG’s Digital Assets may be
linked to physical collectibles, services, and more via a Digital / Physical redemption service.
POG® Economy
After Mario rescues Peach, she gives him a Pog. After Ash Kechum is finally crowned #1,
Pikachu gives him a Pog, even Chip and Dale…the Rescue Rangers, used their legendary Pog
set to save their lives in their most recent Disney Movie. Pogs are valuable rewards for intellect,
courage, perseverance, and timing. Gamers, Entertainers, Audiences, and Collectors are all
able to find a common ground. The Pogs you own will give you tangible benefits in significant
ways including ownership, gifts, memberships, events, entertainment, exclusive access, and far
more beyond the monetary value including convenience and connection. All while connecting
nostalgic art and form with cutting edge infrastructure for users to experience POG® Magic.
Still, each user must ask themselves if they’d rather just enjoy the benefits of their collection or
perhaps dare to risk a few in hopes of seeing what else is possible in our Play for Keeps
Arcade.
8
POG’s digital infrastructure enables developers to build applications leveraging our digital
currency and collectibles from multiple chains in Unity and Unreal Game Engines serving as a
springboard for game developers aiming to create blockchain-based games. Theta's underlying
blockchain technology brings key benefits, including transparency, security, and immutability. It
allows POG® to create a trusted environment for its users, where every transaction and
ownership claim is transparently recorded and securely stored. This trust is paramount in
growing a vibrant marketplace for our POG® collectibles.
Security
Decentralization: Our subchain operates independently from others in the Theta network,
preventing a single point of failure from bringing down the entire network.
Consensus Mechanism: Multi-Level Byzantine Fault Tolerance (BFT) consensus mechanism
ensures that even if some nodes act maliciously or fail, the system can ensure data integrity.
Validator and Guardian Nodes: The dual-node system consists of Validator Nodes producing
blocks and confirming transactions and Guardian Nodes finalize blocks.
Regular Audits and Updates: To ensure the integrity of the system, blockchain code is subject to
regular audits and updates including Theta’s most recent 91.86% Security Score by Certik.
Secure Wallets: Theta wallets employ advanced security measures such as private keys, seed
phrases, and encryption while integrating with hardware products like Ledger and Trezor.
Future-proofing
Developers using the POG® Blockchain align themselves with POG®, Theta, Amazon AWS,
Ethereum, and a number of amazing partners within the POG® Ecosystem ensuring
applications stay relevant as the technology landscape evolves. By utilizing POG's Blockchain,
developers can future-proof their applications, setting the stage for sustainable growth in
partnership with Beamable, Unity, Solana, Theta, Ethereum, Bitcoin, and more.
POG® Benefits from Theta Patents.

Tokenomics
Each collection's metadata will update scarcity statistics of collectibles in real-time, allowing
anyone to see their collectibles current number in circulation, total supply, number burned, and
release date.
The POG® Maker Platform will eventually generate blind POG® Packs with a Random Mix of
Pogs from Specific Collections.
POG® Makers will receive a percentage of the initial sale of their collection, but will be required
to cover any gas fees associated with minting. The blockchain will provide residual royalties for
the creator when their POG® collections are sold for qualified sales after the initial. With custom
metadata to fit the usage they want for chosen games/products/charities/events.
Pogman’s Collection
Pogman’s Collection can be seen as the POG® pool of rewards. Out of all collections 10%-30%
of minted POG® Collectibles go directly into Pogman’s Collection. This allows us to have an
initial pool for people to play with and earn in-game. Then, if a player loses a Pog against
Pogman™, a rand is executed, if the value is 0 : the Pog is burned, the result is an increase in
scarcity. If the value is 1 : the POG is simply transferred to Pogman’s collection.
As Pogs are burned, specific POG® Art will have their scarcity score increase. Collectors and
gamers owning those pieces will see the specific statistics for the rarity of their Pog changes as
the game is played.
11
POG® Rarity
● Slammers or Kinis
● Secret Rare
● Rare
● Common
● Stickers
Example:
If we consider a Collection of 14 Artworks (SKUs), the collection distribution will be as follow :
● 1 Slammer SKUs (100 UNITS of each available)
● 1 Secret Rare SKUs (100 UNITS of each available)
● 4 Rare SKUs (500 UNITS of Each Available)
● 8 Common SKUs (1,000 UNITS of Each Available)
SLAMMERS / KINIS
● The Slammer or Kini is a thicker plastic disc used in POG® traditional game play. The
Slammer or KINI is thrown down by players onto the top of the stack of POG causing it
to spring up and POGs to scatter. POGs that have landed face-up are won by the player
who threw the Slammer or Kini.
● In the POG Digital gameplay, Slammers or Kini are collectibles with unique in-game
features (material, thickness, special shapes …) adapted to game level environments
(floor material, weather conditions …) like coats or weapons.
12
POG® Types
● Founders Pogs - Founding Set is found on Solana, offering staking utility
● PFP - Pogman PFPs will provide unique benefits in the Arcade and on selected
platforms including Twitter and Discord.
● Collector’s Pogs - A higher level rarity than Players Pogs, with unique utility.
● Player’s Pogs - Used to be higher volume and lower rarity than Collector’s Pogs, aimed
to be a game piece above all else.
● Redeemable - Provides redemption utility for the owner to claim physical limited edition
collectibles and merchandise.
● Champion’s Pogs - A secret physical Pog hidden in 1 Pack of Pogs per Box. Providing
some of the most elite utilities in the ecosystem.
According to this initial supply, brand strategy, and distribution process, some specific POG®
Collectibles may have other ways of building scarcity. This is where the POG® Maker tool and
collaborations give some freedom to our future 3rd Party IP stakeholders.
Revenue Splits with 3rd Party IP are on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of POG Digital.
Royalty Percentages are the percentages of the Royalty distributed.
If Royalty for a collection is 5%, each party receives their percentage of the total 5%.
13
Utility Arcade Coin
At the heart of the proposed ecosystem is POG™ Coin, a dedicated digital currency
built on the Theta blockchain as TNT-20 token that will unify transactions, facilitate
rewards, and enhance user engagement across the platform. POG™ Coin offers:
● A secure, efficient medium for transactions across the platform, including the
trade of collectibles and in-game purchases.
● A mechanism for player incentives and rewards, enhancing user engagement
and loyalty.
● Opportunities for redemption value, with its value influenced by in-game activities
and the overall health of the POG® ecosystem.
● A potential cornerstone for intra- and inter-platform commerce, given Theta's
inherent interoperability with other blockchains including Ethereum, Binance,
Polygon, Solana, Avalanche, and more.
● Annual Allocation to the blockchain’s top builders in multiple categories.
POG™ Coin
With the implementation of the POG® Blockchain as a Theta subchain we are able to scale our
vision for what a POG® Utility Coin could do for our ecosystem. The vision has grown to include
multiple sectors of the gaming and entertainment space with infrastructure and content
partnerships to accommodate the scaling of the POG® Digital Ecosystem.
