Courtyard (courtyard.io) is a marketplace and tokenization service for physical collectibles — trading cards, luxury watches, and other graded assets. Collectors vault a physical item in Courtyard's insured facility and receive a blockchain-backed digital token (an NFT on Ethereum/Polygon) representing verified ownership, which can then be instantly bought, sold, bid on, or redeemed for physical shipment. The platform combines a "Proof of Integrity" authentication process, KYC-gated onboarding, a hosted wallet with fiat funding, digital pack drops and auctions, and a curated showroom experience. Courtyard is a Forerunner Ventures portfolio company operating in the commerce / collectibles sector; it exposes a consumer web application and smart contracts rather than a public developer API.
