Bring Exotic Collectible Onchain

Solana Request for Startups: Vibhu Norby, CPO, Solana Foundation

The model is pretty simple. There’s a physical vault where the asset sits, professional photography and authentication, a token that represents ownership, and a redemption process if you ever want the physical thing shipped to you. You’re trading the token, but the asset is real and it’s sitting in a warehouse somewhere.

And that model has already proven itself in a handful of categories. But the bigger opportunity is everything that hasn’t come onchain yet.

Art alone is a $65 billion market. Vintage cars, rare coins, antiques, watches — you’re looking at well over $100 billion in collectible categories that still trade the old way: illiquid, slow, expensive, and mostly closed off unless you know the right people.

All of that can move onchain. And when it does, these markets get deeper, pricing gets more honest, and a lot more people get to participate.

So if you’re building in this space — the vaulting, the marketplace, the pricing infrastructure, whatever piece of it — we want to talk to you.

Come build it on Solana.
