CS2 Trade-Up Blueprints

CSAlpha Blueprints are theoretical CS2 trade-up contracts you build with buy orders, not live listings. Each blueprint uses up to 3 distinct input skins, anchored by a real live CSFloat listing where one exists, with the remaining input slots filled by buy orders capped at a solved maximum float — so the headline cost, profit, and expected value hold even in the worst case where every order fills at its float ceiling.

How blueprints differ from the live trade-up board

The live trade-up board only lists contracts you can buy right now, built entirely from listings that exist on CSFloat, DMarket, or Skinport today. Blueprints price inputs from recent completed sales instead of the live ask ladder, then describe the buy orders you'd need to place to fill each slot at or below the float that makes the math work. Any live listing shown alongside a blueprint is reference pricing only — never part of the guaranteed cost.

Delay by tier

New blueprints reach Elite accounts immediately, Pro accounts 24 hours later, and Free accounts after 7 days — the same board-freshness lever used across CSAlpha's other trade-up tools.
