UNYKORNTHE VAULT unykorn.ai ↗
Institutional infrastructure for tokenized real-world assets

Physical collectibles.
Vaulted. Verified. Owned.

Hand-cast sculpture, relic-embedded art, and authenticated trading cards — structured into single-purpose vehicles, hashed to IPFS, and custodied through segregated BitGo wallets. Proof, not pitch.

The reel

Concept ads staged and rendered while this platform was being built — shown as generated, including the one that still needs a text-correction pass. Nothing here is a finished commercial.

Three asset classes, one verified record

What goes in the vault

Every piece enters the same pipeline regardless of medium: appraised, hashed, structured, custodied.

Sculpture

Bronze and precious-metal hand and foot casts, studio-verified against the maker's mark.

Hand-cast. Studio-verified. Now ownable.

Relic art

Framed work incorporating authenticated memorabilia, with the authentication chain disclosed alongside the piece.

One relic. Many owners. One verified record.

Trading cards

Vaulted originals and limited print editions, condition-attested at intake and on a recurring schedule.

Vaulted. Verified. Freely traded.
The part that isn't on camera

How we build it

Every piece follows the same pipeline before it's shown to anyone — the videos are the last step, not the first. Full source is public: github.com/FTHTrading/Relics.

01

Rights review

Every piece checked for publicity-rights exposure, trademark/logo exposure, authentication quality, and copyright risk before it touches a contract. 74 pieces reviewed to date — 3 cleared on both risk axes.

02

Structure

Cleared pieces get one of two contracts: ArtEditionSPV for fractional shares, ArtCustodyReceipt for whole-object title. Compiled against a pinned toolchain, not yet audited.

03

Anchor

Image and metadata hashed to a real, content-addressed IPFS CID — computed offline, verifiable by anyone, before it's ever pinned live.

04

Custody

A segregated 2-of-3 BitGo wallet per piece. UnyKorn holds one key, an offline backup holds one, BitGo holds one — no single party moves funds alone.

Four ways a cleared piece reaches a buyer

Structuring paths

Which door a piece uses is decided by the rights review, not preference. Full mechanics, caps, and sourcing in legal/SECURITIES-STRUCTURING.md.

A

Reg A+ Tier 2

Public offering, $75M/12mo cap, audited financials, SEC-qualified.

Flagship pieces, no living person or full consent, genuinely retail audience.
B

Reg D 506(c)

Private placement, accredited-only, no SEC review, weeks not months.

A documented relationship needing a private release, not full public clearance.
C

Custody receipt

Title, not investment. No pool, no offering, no audit. Cleanest legal profile of all four.

Trading cards, and any buyer who wants outright ownership.
D

Reg CF new

$5M/12mo cap, retail-eligible, must route through a registered funding portal.

Testing real retail demand before committing to Path A's audit cost.
The bigger question, underneath the exemption question

Who's actually the issuer

Full research and sourcing in legal/BUSINESS-MODEL-OPTIONS.md — not resolved here, an open operator decision.

direct comparable platforms failed or retreated — Rally, Otis, Collectable, Mythic Markets, Vint, Here.co, LEX Markets. Rally's shutdown was announced 2026-07-17.
Option A

UnyKorn is the issuer

Owns the audit cost, the offering-circular liability, and the exact unit-economics mismatch — compliance cost vs. collectibles ticket size — that killed 7 of 8 comps.

Option B

UnyKorn is the infrastructure vendor

Licenses the contracts and pipeline to whoever sponsors an offering, for setup + SaaS + attestation fees. No issuer liability. The one pattern (Dibbs' 2023 pivot) that actually held up.

"The Real Diamond Hands" — named for the discipline it takes to hold a position, cast in chrome and gold.
Concept — not yet cast

The Real Diamond Hands

Concept by Dante Mortet, Bottega Mortet — Rome, Italy

A new commission in development: a hand cast in mixed chrome and gold finish, referencing the discipline of holding a position through volatility. This render is a design study, not a finished object — nothing here is offered for sale until the piece is physically cast and appraised.

Shown here as the flagship of the sculpture class, alongside the six catalog pieces already cleared for public review below.

3 of 74 catalog pieces cleared for public preview  ·  corrected down from 6 on 2026-08-17 after a trademark/logo review axis caught sponsor branding the original publicity-rights check wasn't scoped to catch
Three pieces (Miami Bull, Betirri's kit paintings, Felipe Jacome's club prints) were pulled after visual confirmation of unlicensed sponsor and team marks. Full writeup: github.com/FTHTrading/Relics
Custody without being the custodian
UnyKorn never takes custody of the asset. Qualified custody is delegated to BitGo Bank & Trust, N.A.

Each structured piece gets its own segregated wallet under a two-of-three key model — never a shared pool, never commingled with another SPV's assets.

Compliance is enforced before value moves: KYC on every counterparty, policy-gated approvals above threshold, and an audit trail anchored the same way the artwork's own provenance is — content-addressed, not just logged.

01

User key

Held by UnyKorn, scoped to this SPV only. Never has parent-enterprise access.

02

Backup key

Held offline, independent of the day-to-day signing path.

03

Custodian key

Held by BitGo. No single party — including UnyKorn — can move funds alone.
