The intersection of digital assets and real-world assets (RWA) has become one of the fastest-growing areas in the blockchain ecosystem in recent years. This transformation is not limited to real estate or financial instruments; the collectibles world is also at the center of this change. Collect on Fanable (COLLECT) stands out as a comprehensive Web3 platform aiming to set a new standard in this field by combining physical collectible items with blockchain-based digital ownership.
Developed by Fanable and Collect Foundation, this structure brings a wide range of real, verified, and insured collectible products—from Pokémon cards to comics, figures to sports cards—into the on-chain economy.
What is Fanable?
Fanable positions itself as a blockchain-supported marketplace focused on real-world collectible items. The platform stores graded and verified physical collectibles in secure vaults while representing their digital ownership on the blockchain.
Thanks to the structure offered by Fanable, users can:
- Deliver physical collectible items to secure vaults
- Manage these assets through digital ownership certificates
- Sell, trade, or redeem their items
- Track their collection portfolios and profit/loss status in real-time
The platform offers a user-friendly experience bridging Web2 and Web3 with iOS, Google Play, mobile, and web versions. Stripe and crypto payment integrations make it accessible for both traditional and crypto users.
Collect Foundation and Collect Ecosystem
Collect Foundation operates as an independent entity that brings collectible items to Web3 infrastructure. The foundation’s primary goal is to unite real-world valuable collectibles with on-chain ownership and create a sustainable digital economy for these assets.
At the center of this ecosystem is $COLLECT, which is not just a token but also serves as the primary access tool that powers the platform’s operations.
What is Collect (COLLECT)?
Collect offers a Web3 economy designed for physical collectible items. Assets such as sports cards, comics, trading cards, sneakers, toys, and luxury collectibles are represented with digital ownership within the Collect ecosystem.
The main functions of the $COLLECT token are:
- Access to all assets on the platform
- Purchasing physical collectible items
- Conducting transactions within the ecosystem
- Supporting long-term sustainability
Unlike NFT-based speculative models, Collect provides a structure backed directly by verified physical assets.
Why is Collect Important?
Today, many valuable collectible items remain idle in private vaults or individual collections. Collect includes these assets in the digital economy by:
- Creating liquidity
- Making ownership transparent
- Opening new interaction areas among collectors
$COLLECT positions itself as the common layer of this new economy.
How Are Physical Collectibles Digitized?
The Collect and Fanable infrastructure prioritizes security and verification when digitizing collectible items.
- Secure Vault Process Users send collectible items approved by recognized grading companies such as CGC, PSA, or WATA to the platform. These items are stored insured in vaults of global security firms like Brink’s.
- Verification and Digital Certificate Each item is scanned in detail, verified, and linked to a digital ownership certificate on the blockchain. This certificate is associated with the user’s wallet.
- Trading and Redemption Users can buy and sell their digital ownership 7/24 on the platform. Users who wish can redeem and receive the physical item.
Royalty and Revenue Sharing Model
One of the standout features of the Collect ecosystem is the royalty mechanism provided to the original sender. As a collectible item changes hands on the platform, the original owner continues to receive a small royalty share.
This model:
- Encourages long-term participation
- Creates sustainable revenue for collectible producers and owners
- Increases loyalty within the ecosystem
Additionally, all logistics, insurance, and shipping processes are managed by the platform.
Nostalgia Markets and Collectibles Economy
The collectibles market has rapidly become a growing asset class in recent years. Especially nostalgia-based collectibles are seeing significant demand due to adults’ increasing disposable income and the influence of social media.
Pokémon cards are one of the most striking examples in this field. Since 2004, the cumulative return of Pokémon cards has reached 3,821%, while the S&P 500 index increased by 483% in the same period.
Similar growth is observed in sports cards, comics, and other niche collectible markets.
Why is the Collectibles Market Important?
- The global collectibles market exceeds $450 billion
- It is expected to surpass $1 trillion by 2033
- Less than 1% of the market is currently digitized
- Trust, liquidity, and ownership verification are major issues
Collect aims to provide a blockchain-based solution to these problems.
COLLECT Tokenomics
The $COLLECT token economy is built on long-term sustainability and ecosystem growth. The model is balanced with elements such as supply control, staking incentives, and liquidity support.
- Total Supply: 3 billion COLLECT
- Max Supply: 3 billion COLLECT
- Circulating Supply: 537 million COLLECT
Token supply is reduced over time through regular burn mechanisms, while staking and reward systems encourage user participation.
COLLECT Backers
The Collect ecosystem is supported by leading names in the collectibles and Web3 worlds. This support ensures the project is in a strong position both financially and strategically.
Backers include:
- Borderless
- Ripple
- Morningstar Ventures
- Crypto Banter
