Vera for
Trading Cards
A graded card is bought on the strength of the number on its slab — and the slab is what gets faked. Vera applies identity to the slab itself, so the card resolves to a record.

A graded card is not handled. It is bought, stored and resold inside its holder, and the holder is what every photograph shows and every buyer receives. Identity goes on the slab because the slab is the object as it trades — and because nothing can be applied to a card sealed inside one.

Know where every unit has been
From factory to second owner, each handover is a tap on the item's own certificate, written as it happens.Factory, warehouse, store, first owner, second owner — each handover is a tap, and each tap lands on that item's own certificate. The history is written as it happens rather than reconstructed from paperwork afterwards.
Stay in every resale
A resale is a transfer of the certificate, so the money and the ownership move together, on your terms.A resale is a transfer of the certificate, so the handover happens on your infrastructure rather than around it. An owner lists the item from its certificate and the sale completes inside it, so the money and the ownership record move together. The buyer arrives as a known owner, the sale is visible while it happens, and the terms are yours to set.
