BTC: Proof of Play
A downloadable BTC: Proof of Play for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
BTC: Proof of Play – The Bitcoin Strategy Card Game
It’s a card game… about Bitcoin. (Yes, really.) But don’t worry – you don’t need a hardware wallet or a node to play. You can jump in, build decks, battle, and unlock cards entirely at your own pace.
Earn Sparks and Shards just by playing, or, if you’re impatient like us, you can fast-track with Lightning payments in real Bitcoin – totally optional. BTC: Proof of Play isn’t pay-to-win; it’s play-to-stack, play-to-laugh, play-when-you-feel-like-it.
Important: BTC: Proof of Play does not use any real blockchain, wallets, NFTs, or background mining. There is no real compute, no GPU/CPU mining, and no on-chain activity. All “mining” is purely an in-game, fictional game mechanic. It does however use the Bitcoin Lightning network to enable payments for items, cosmetics and gameplay items in Bitcoin. No wallet connection, simply QR codes. Simplicity!
So whether you’re here for the memes, the mechanics, or just to see what a “51% Attack” card does, welcome – the block is yours.
BTC Proof of Play - "Stack your Deck" ⚡

BTC: Proof of Play is a 1v1 Card Battler – Face off head-to-head in matches where every card you play can make (or break) your strategy. Build decks, outwit your opponent, and try not to blame “bad luck” when you lose.
You can create or join games with other players, jump straight into battle, or chill in the trading room where cards swap hands through safe escrow. Build, battle, or barter – it’s your choice.
The Mempool visualised realtime in the Hub
🔹 Blocks forming in real time – at the base of the Hub sits a shimmering chain. Every ~10 minutes (or whenever the network says so), the swirling sats condense, snap together, and forge into a new block that locks into the chain with a satisfying glow.
🔹 Live mempool feed – instead of being a simulation, the particle flow responds to the actual Bitcoin mempool. When transactions spike, you’ll see a flurry of sats raining down; when things calm, the drizzle slows. Each sat particle carries data – vBytes, fee rate, or size – visualized through colour or brightness.
It’s a living visualization of the Bitcoin heartbeat – every sat that trickles, every block that locks – directly streamed from the chain into the Hub, so you don’t just play BTC: Proof of Play in a Bitcoin-themed world… you feel Bitcoin itself ticking in the background.
In BTC: Proof of Play, the Hub doesn’t just show Bitcoin – it uses Bitcoin.
While the vSats rain down in the background and new blocks forge into the chain, players can zap tips in real sats to each other right inside the game. Drop a Lightning bolt mid-match to say “nice play,” support your opponent, or just flex your stack. Every tip flows across the same network you’re watching in the Hub – the Bitcoin mempool you see is the Bitcoin you’re using.
And when you’re ready to expand your collection? Head to the shop and spend sats to unlock new items instantly, or earn Sparks and Shards through play if you’d rather grind it out. The choice is yours – play for free at your own pace, or Lightning-fast-track with real Bitcoin.
BTC: Proof of Play isn’t pay-to-win – it’s play-your-way, with sats woven into the fabric of the game itself.
