Phygitals
@phygitalsGlobal marketplace bridging physical and digital collectibles on Solana with 1:1 card-to-NFT backing and instant buyback.
SolanaOverview
Phygitals operates as a global marketplace integrating physical and digital collectibles on the Solana blockchain. Following a "Digital Packs, Physical Cards" model, each NFT corresponds one-to-one with a real, physical card. The platform has tokenized over 60,000 cards, processed more than 500,000 RWA transactions, and recorded roughly $149 million in cumulative gacha spending plus over $290 million in marketplace transaction volume. In April 2026 Phygitals launched a storefront on Fanatics Collect with cross-listing, letting mainstream collectors buy tokenized cards without a crypto wallet. It supports a diverse range of card categories including Pokémon, One Piece, Basketball, and Football.
How It Works
Users purchase and open digital packs to reveal cards, with each digital card (NFT) backed 1:1 by a physical card. Physical cards are stored in secure, climate-controlled, and insured vaulting facilities. Users can hold, trade, or sell cards back to Phygitals at 85%-90% of their fair market value. To redeem the physical card, the NFT is burned and the card is shipped. The platform uses Solana's cryptographic verification to link physical cards to their digital twins, ensuring authenticity and proof of ownership.
