Full Stack Developer

Who We Are

BlokPax is a revolutionary step forward for the collectibles industry that digitizes ownership of real-world collectibles into an NFT (“Vault Tokens”) and combines this with the thrill of the “breaking” experience to democratize the process of building the universe of tradeable Vault Tokens.

Over the past decade, breaking sports cards has exploded in popularity, along with the card collecting hobby in general. By some estimates the global collectible card market is now in excess of $5 billion.

Blokpax NFTs can be either redeemed for the actual underlying card or kept in NFT form so it can be traded either on third-party services such as OpenSea or Rarible, or, in the future on the BlokPax site itself.

In addition to creating a new community of breakers on the blockchain, the goal of this project is to bring increased liquidity and transparency to the collectibles space by letting collectors trade the rights to a card in a trustless way on the blockchain.
