100% with you on "keep the asset protected, export the utility." The asset shouldn't have to move. The catch: a proof of ownership only means something if you can produce it. If the collectible sits in a custodial account, the "proof" is really the platform vouching for you. That makes the platform a gatekeeper for every single game integration. So the answer is self-custody, made easy: 🔑 A Collect wallet with no seed-phrase gymnastics 📱 In the game, scan a QR code and your wallet signs a proof that you own the collectible ✅ The game checks it in. Nothing is transferred and nothing is approved for spending One honest caveat: the tech can make check-in instant, but the licensor still decides which games and which utility their IP gets. The rails come first, then the approvals.
