Infrastructure for physical products

Physical products disappear after the first sale.PlugZ keeps them visible.

PlugZ connects an item's SKU to an NFC Sigilium, creating a Sigil that moves through the market with the product. Sales, transfers, verification and resale become structured events instead of disconnected moments.

Why PlugZ

What PlugZ is

PlugZ makes the movement of physical products measurable.

Physical products disappear from view after the first sale. PlugZ keeps them visible: origin, sale, ownership, custody, transfer and resale kept as one continuous record instead of disconnected moments.

The unit PlugZ works with

SKU + Sigilium = Sigil

SKU
The item's own SKU — the model and reference the market already uses to name it.
Sigilium
The physical NFC chip installed on the item. Commercial NFC hardware to begin with.
Sigil
A SKU with its Sigilium installed: one identity that travels with that individual object.
  1. 01Limited

    Create Sigils

    An item's SKU is bound to an NFC Sigilium and becomes a Sigil: an identity anyone holding the object can read, and that no listing description can invent. No item listed on PlugZ carries a Sigilium yet — the records that exist today are opened when a verifier inspects an item in hand.

  2. 02Limited

    Move Sigils

    Each sale, verification, custody change, transfer and resale is written to the Sigil record. A vetted expert who inspects the item in hand signs one of those events, and escrow holds the payment while it happens. What has moved so far moved between test accounts.

  3. 03Not in service

    Turn movement into intelligence

    Many Sigils moving produce something a catalogue cannot: measured movement of individual objects instead of scraped listings. The market data shown on PlugZ today is bought from a third party and labelled as such, and PlugZ's own record is nowhere near large enough to publish as intelligence.

What PlugZ is not

PlugZ is not a resale marketplace, not an authentication company, not a blockchain and not an NFC network. Authentication, the chain and the chip are parts of the system: a verifier's decision is one of the events a Sigil carries, and the chain is where those events stay readable. None of them is the category. The marketplace is where movement starts being recorded, not the limit of what is recorded.

Where this stands today

PlugZ is pre-launch. The payment provider runs in test mode, every account that has bought or sold so far is a synthetic test account, and no item listed here carries a Sigilium. What is described above is the system PlugZ builds, not a claim about volume.

How It Works

From listing to delivery, every step is protected.

  1. 01

    Seller ships to a vetted verifier

    Real experts — not photos — inspect the item in hand at a local hub, most within 24–48h of arrival.

  2. 02

    Verified and sealed

    The item gets a provenance record. An accountable human expert stands behind the verdict — AI is advisory only.

  3. 03

    Buyer receives. Escrow releases.

    Payment is held in escrow and releases after delivery confirmation, with a 72-hour window to report a problem. The verification record stays with the item — and lives on in your Digital Vault, the home of your collection.

PlugZ Chain

The marketplace is what you see. The record is what stays.

PlugZ builds infrastructure for the movement of physical objects: an identity bound to the object, and a record of what happened to it afterwards — including the verdict of a vetted expert who inspected it in hand. The marketplace is the first surface running on that infrastructure, not the whole of it.

PlugZ Chain is where that record lives. An entry holds the item reference, the verification outcome, when it happened, the custody events around it, and a cryptographic fingerprint of the supporting evidence rather than the evidence itself. Entries are append-only, so an item's authentication history can be read back later by the next owner instead of being taken on trust.

It is a registry of provenance and custody. It is not a payment network and it does not custody funds.

Beyond the listing

Discovery, direct conversation, and bilateral decisions stay connected.

Each capability is shown at its current maturity, so the path is clear without promising more than the platform supports today.

The PlugZ ecosystem

PlugZ runs on more than buyers and sellers

Infrastructure for physical products only stands up if people run it. These are the ways to take part. Each one has its own page, its own requirements, and its own way in.

  • Buy

    Shop items a verifier inspected in hand. Your payment is held in escrow and releases after delivery is confirmed.

    What it takes

    An account. Nothing else.

    Browse the marketplace
  • Sell

    List what you own, or bring the shop you already run. Whatever you sell goes to a verifier before it reaches the buyer.

    What it takes

    Identity verification before you can be paid.

    See how selling works
  • Verify

    A vetted expert inspects the item in hand at a local hub and signs the verdict they stand behind. AI is advisory only.

    What it takes

    An application and a business review.

    Become a verifier
  • Bring a brand

    Represent your label on PlugZ, launch official releases, and keep official references attached to the items that carry your name.

    What it takes

    A brand application reviewed by PlugZ.

    PlugZ for brands
  • Customize

    Turn a product into a one-of-one piece, where your authorship becomes part of that item's provenance.

    What it takes

    A place on the customizer waitlist — onboarding happens in stages.

    See the customizer program
  • Run a node

    Lend edge capacity from a computer you already keep online, so PlugZ serves more of its own platform traffic instead of renting all of it.

    What it takes

    Identity verification, plus an always-on computer running the PlugZ edge client.

POP · platform credit

Help carry the infrastructure, earn credit to spend here

Serving a catalog, its media and the traffic around it takes real capacity. Members can lend some of that capacity back from a computer they already keep online, and PlugZ credits the work in POP: platform credit you earn by taking part and spend inside PlugZ. People who run a node are participants helping run the network.

How you earn it

By running a node: an always-on computer with the PlugZ edge client, contributing edge capacity for PlugZ's own platform traffic. Credit is meant to follow the work the node actually does, never a buy-in.

How you spend it

Inside PlugZ, on platform utility such as membership benefits and premium features. You earn it to spend it here — that is the entire loop.

Where the loop closes

POP is closed-loop by design: earned inside PlugZ, spent inside PlugZ, and not transferable outside the platform. Holding it is gated by identity verification, and it carries no cash-out promise.

Where this stands today

Node enrollment is open to verified members. Credit accrual for contributed capacity is being enabled in stages, so nothing is earned yet — enrolling now reserves your node identity.

POP is platform credit for using and helping run PlugZ. It is not money and it is not a financial product. Eligibility, node rewards and how contribution is measured are part of a program still being rolled out and may change.
