The liquidity rail for graded cards
Shards turns a slow, illiquid collectibles market into on-chain shards that settle straight to your wallet.
Graded grails are a real asset class, but the best cards cost more than any one collector wants to put down, and once you own one it just sits in a drawer. Shards lets you own a piece of them instead.
Already hold a graded-card NFT on-chain? Fractionalize it: in one signature your card splits into fungible shards, backed 1:1, that mint straight to your wallet. No shipping, no crowdfund. The shards trade on-chain via Jupiter against liquidity that other holders provide with their own shards, so the grails everyone wants finally have a continuous price, and anyone can collect enough shards to redeem the physical card. On-chain trading opens at launch.
The whole system is built around one rule: every token is backed 1:1 by a real card we custody in an insured vault. No unbacked supply, ever.
Insured vault
Every funded card is held in a fully-insured, climate-controlled vault, provably yours 1:1.
Proof of reserves
Every tradable token is backed 1:1 by a graded slab in the insured vault (supply never exceeds the slabs held).
Authentication
Certs are verified against the grader of record before a single dollar moves.
