How the Marketplace Works

The Sportafi Marketplace makes every collectible verifiable, tradable, and revenue-generating. From tokenization to resale royalties, here’s how the platform authenticates items, powers storefronts, and builds lasting value for athletes, teams, and fans.

Item Tokenization

Every product is minted as a Validated Data Token (VDT).

Metadata captures the full origin story:

  • When: Timestamp.
  • What: Unique identifiers (QR code, serial number, image).
2

Listings & Auctions

  • Supports fixed price listings, live auctions, Dutch and reverse auctions.
  • Fans purchase verified items in real time, with automated shipping and tax handling.

Resale Royalties

  • Smart contracts enforce resale royalties on every transaction.
  • Example: 2% → Athlete, 2% → Team, 1% → League, 1% → Sportafi.
  • Athletes and programs earn long-term revenue as items change hands.
4

Fan Collector Profiles 

  • Items are added to the fan’s wallet + collector profile.
  • Ownership can be validated via QR code scan at any time.
