7 Factors To Consider When Evaluating Blockchain-Enabled Collectibles Marketplaces (BECMs)

This article provides an in-depth analysis of how blockchain technology can subvert the traditional collectibles market, and proposes the concept of blockchain-supported collectibles markets (BECMs). The article points out the three major requirements for collectibles transactions: instant settlement, physical custody, and certification. , and explores how BECMs can effectively meet these needs. We also evaluate various collectible categories, such as wine, spirits, handbags, and watches, and their potential performance in BECMs. We discuss the financial, real-world, and emotional aspects of BECMs. Key characteristics along these dimensions include lack of vertical trading venues, suitable price points, being viewed as a store of value, storage difficulties, trust issues, provenance of time and brand, and the existence of a passionate collector base.

DePIN: Constructing a Decentralized Value Network via Dual Curves

Under decentralization, the layout and utilization of infrastructure in DePIN can achieve higher efficiency and lower costs while enhancing the overall system's security and resilience. Unlike traditional centralized equipment providers, the updating and maintenance of DePIN equipment are jointly undertaken by project teams and miners. Equipment providers are only responsible for the research, development, and sale of the equipment, while the updating and maintenance are completed by the supply-side users. For DePIN projects, realizing data interoperability between multiple chains can maximize the value of data. This not only represents a potential breakout point for the DePIN track but also directly benefits cross-chain protocols amid this growth wave.
