The arcade that
pays it forward

Like the good old days.

Make art, learn bitcoin and back the projects you love, with frens who start where you are. No fees, and your sats go straight to the creator.

This gives you an @pacsarcade tag. It is the arcade's own tag, and the one you need to start a project here.

Pac's Arcade is a non-profit in formation.

Play. Learn. Grow.

Play

Games where playing is learning. Your player tag is your name in every world.

Free live classes for total beginners. Finish one and earn a certificate.

Grow

Start a project, or back one. Sats go straight to the creator.

How it works

Four easy steps

1. Get a tag

Your @pacsarcade tag is your name here. It works on nostr today and is saved to Bitcoin in a later batch. Already have a tag? Sign in.

2. Learn free

Free classes, live with Pacman: bitcoin, nostr and your wallet. The first run is coming, date to be announced.

3. Keep your keys

Your seed phrase is the chest in the attic. Nobody legitimate will ever ask you to open it.

4. Create

Back a project today. Starting your own opens after the first classes run.

Now playing: the flagship run

The player tag

Your name, your key

Your tag is your name at the arcade. Your nostr key is your login: no password, no company in the middle.

Your profile page shows the certificates you earn. Every so often we save new tags to Bitcoin so they last.

The artist path

Earn the floor

Anyone can back a project today. Starting one opens after the first classes run. Get your tag, take the free classes, and artist mode opens for you.

Your project gets its own page and its own wallet that we never touch, live progress, and milestones anyone can check.

No fees. Nothing held.

Pac's Arcade is a non-profit in formation. Sats go straight from you to the creator, and every project wallet's spending is public on the chain. Paying it forward should be normal.
