Why join now

Three reasons early partners move faster

The grading market is moving to verifiable digital provenance. The first movers define the standard.

01

Anti-counterfeit by default

Every certificate is anchored to a physical fingerprint unique to that card. Counterfeiting the paper trail means counterfeiting physics.

02

API-native from day one

Submit, track, and query certificates programmatically. No portal clicking — your ops team keeps its existing tools.

03

First-mover advantage

Arrive first, co-define the standard, and own the trust narrative before competitors even start evaluating.

Co-design the new trust standard for card grading

We are building this with our first partners — not after. Your workflow, your edge cases, and your customers shape the product roadmap from day one. Allocation is limited.

  • Exclusive roadmap access and co-design rights during the build phase.
  • Dedicated engineering support for your integration, from API to production.
  • Launch with a co-branded trust badge that sets you apart from every other grader.
