Resale on the GRAJ protocol. One fee. 195 countries. Join the protocol.
Secondhand markets are limited by one thing: the buyer cannot verify what they are buying. Provenance — a record of what an item is and what has happened to it — is what closes that gap, and it has to be built at the first sale rather than reconstructed at the second.
Two identical items, one with a verifiable history and one without, are not worth the same. The record is what a resale buyer is actually paying for, and it cannot be assembled retroactively.
A history that begins when somebody decides to resell is a history with a gap exactly where authenticity questions live. The record starts when the item is made or first sold.
Resale that carries provenance keeps a brand connected to items after the first sale and gives it a defence against counterfeits. Resale without it does neither.
Designed, not built. Item-level provenance depends on identity at the unit level, which the QR trail describes and which is also still being built.
