How does the platform work?

You collect, and we handle everything! Collecto takes care of everything from selecting the assets to their potential sale:

1. Research - we work in partnership with top suppliers to find our assets, ensuring the highest quality and access to the best market prices;
2. Certification - our team of experts certifies the authenticity, value, and condition of the selected assets;
3. Fractionalization - the asset is uploaded to the platform, and its ownership is divided into a set number of purchasable shares. The process is made transparent and traceable through blockchain technology;
4. Purchase - the individual shares of the asset are available for purchase within the platform. You will thus become a co-owner of the asset.
5. Wallet - Once the purchase is made, you will receive a certificate of ownership in the form of a token, which will be visible within the user wallet directly accessible on the platform
6. Storage - the storage and insurance of purchased assets are fully handled by Collecto. This takes place in secure vaults that ensure maximum security and protection against deterioration;

How do I purchase a share of an asset?

It's very simple! Purchasing one or more shares of an asset is very straightforward and happens entirely on our App:

2. Asset Selection - after registration, you can view all the assets for sale on the platform and select the one(s) of your interest
3. Payment - to proceed with the purchase, choose your preferred payment method such as credit card or PayPal;
4. Wallet - the purchased share will be visible directly in the App under the 'wallet' section.

What assets are available on the platform?

Only the best, assets on the platform are carefully selected by our experts who assess their uniqueness, rarity, and potential value growth over time. Currently, we handle the following categories of luxury assets: watches, artworks, fine wines.

How are the assets selected?

Every decision to acquire assets is based on criteria such as rarity, originality, value, brand importance, and other technical elements specific to each asset category. We purchase items that, in addition to being fully authentic, meet at least one of the following characteristics:

1. Opportunity: purchasing at the best market prices thanks to a network of partners and the aid of artificial intelligence;
2. Scarcity: pieces produced in limited quantities, accessible only to a few selected individuals, beyond economic availability;
3. Uniqueness: unique pieces produced for specific events, for which there are copies but only one original. These criteria help enhance the value of the assets over time.

How long does the ownership last?

The items do not have an expiration date: you are the owner of the asset and thus have the power to decide its fate! However, to ensure liquidity for each co-owner's shares, we assign each asset a predetermined 'safety term' at the time of the initial offer, ranging from 1 to 4 years. Periodically, upon reaching this term, you will have the opportunity to liquidate your shares, even without the unanimity of all owners, by selling the physical asset on the real market. To cater to users who wish to retain their shares beyond the expiration and renew the asset's duration, the shares of users wishing to exit will first be offered on the in-app marketplace. If such shares cannot be sold, the actual sale of the asset will proceed at the best possible price at that date.

Can I sell my share before the expiration?

Certainly, you can sell your share before reaching the 'safety term' to other Collecto users. List your share for sale with just a few clicks directly from the wallet section of the App.
