This is an experimental project exploring fractional ownership using Intercom.
Trading cards are the initial focus because they already sit at the intersection of physical assets and digital ownership. Their ongoing digitalization and active trading culture make them a natural starting point for testing decentralized, fractional ownership models.
This repo is a fork-based exploration built on Intercom’s peer-to-peer stack: direct communication, deterministic shared state (contracts), and optional value settlement — without relying on a central platform.
Each trading card becomes its own peer-to-peer asset network:
- A dedicated P2P channel for real-time coordination between holders
- A replicated ownership state (shares / cap table) maintained by a contract
- A simple offer/accept flow for peer-to-peer share transfers
- Optional settlement later (crypto payments), once the core ownership model is proven
Intercom provides:
- Sidechannels: fast P2P messaging for coordination
- Subnet contracts: deterministic replicated state for ownership
- SC-Bridge: a local authenticated WebSocket interface for apps/agents (no TTY required)
- Optional settlement for value transfer
Experimental — research & prototype phase.
