Introducing BlueSTEAL: A game to collect (and steal) Bluesky accounts

BlueSTEAL is a trading card game that turns the decentralized social graph of Bluesky into a mischievous, speculative market. The idea is simple: Every profile is a card you can buy, own, and have stolen.

The Mechanics: Buy or Steal to Own

When you log in, every profile has a value in Tokens (J) based on their follower count.

The Steal: You never "buy" from a voluntary seller. You pay the market price and take the card from its current owner.

The Economy: Values jump by 20% per purchase. Owners earn 3% hourly dividends as long as the card stays above the 600 J minimum.

Social: You will be able to share your acquisitions and "steals" directly to your Bluesky feed.

Respecting the Graph: Privacy & Consent

BlueSTEAL is a playground, but consent is paramount. If you don't want to be part of the game, simply block @bluesteal.app on Bluesky. Our system will immediately remove your profile from the market. If you change your mind, you can just unblock @bluesteal.app on Bluesky and your account will reappear in the game.

Development Update & Alpha Access

The project is currently in active development and will be officially available in the coming weeks. If you want to get involved, contribute to the build, or help test the Alpha version, I’d love to hear from you!

Drop me a message on Bluesky at @bluesteal.app or @matlfb.com. I’ll be happy to get back to you!
