A marketplace for limited-run physical collectibles where every item carries a verifiable history from the maker onwards.
Buyers paid four figures on the strength of a photograph and a seller's word. Counterfeits circulated, resale prices were rumour, and the maker earned nothing when an item changed hands at triple the issue price.
- 01
The certificate is not paper
Each item is issued with a signed record at the point of manufacture, updated on every verified transfer, so provenance is a chain rather than a claim.
- 02
A resale market with prices
Completed sales are published per edition, which replaced private negotiation with an actual reference price.
- 03
The maker stays in the deal
Resale terms and the maker's royalty are set at issue and settle automatically when an item transfers.
Authenticity disputes effectively vanished, resale moved onto the platform, and the maker now earns on a secondary market it used to lose entirely.
