Linking Physical Assets and NFTs

Holos' most significant feature is the one-to-one linkage between real-world items and digital assets (NFTs). This enables the safe and flexible global trading and distribution of valuable collectibles and rare items.​

Procuring Real Assets Through Partnerships with Japanese Card Shops

Holos partners with Japan's largest trading card specialty stores to directly procure and store authenticated inventory:​

• Physical cards are securely stored in Holos' dedicated warehouses. The majority of our trading card assets are securely stored within the facilities of one of Japan's leading trading card shop. In addition, particularly rare and high value cards are kept in a dedicated vault operated by TERRADA Warehouse, an institution globally recognized for its expertise in the storage of fine art. TERADA Warehouse maintains one of the highest international standards in terms of security and privacy protection. By combining multiple storage solutions including professional vaults, we ensure the safe and reliable management of all assets under our care.

• Only verified inventory is NFTized, ensuring a direct correspondence between digital assets and physical items.

• Each card is pre-inspected and evaluated upon storage, guaranteeing quality.

This system thoroughly eliminates risks of counterfeits and fraud.​

Rapid Digitalization

In Japan, new Pokémon cards are released up to two months earlier than in international markets. Holos capitalizes on this lead time to deliver the latest cards as NFTs at the fastest pace globally:

• Leverages the advantage of "Japan-first" distribution to offer an attractive investment opportunity for overseas users

• Enables users to acquire and resell NFTs before the cards gain premium value in global markets

This mechanism represents a new form of asset trading—one that allows forward-looking investment through digital means, akin to trading futures

Digital Ownership Verification

Each NFT issued by Holos contains the following data:

• A unique one-to-one link with the physical asset

• Recorded storage location and identification number

• Authenticity verification data at the time of issuance of NFTs

• Ownership history, fully transparent on the blockchain

This makes the NFT not just a digital image but a verifiable key proving the existence and legitimacy of the physical asset.

NFT Transfers Represent Value Exchange

As long as the user holds the NFT, they can freely sell it to others (i.e., transfer ownership on-chain). If they wish to receive the physical item, they can initiate a redemption request by executing a Burn transaction.

• NFT Burn automatically triggers the start of the physical item delivery process

• Global shipping is available (except in restricted regions)

• Users are responsible for shipping fees, which are clearly stated during the redemption process

• Simple interface to input delivery information

This design enables flexible asset strategies, such as holding the NFT until the value increases, then selling it or choosing redemption.
