One connected entertainment ecosystem
From the workshop to the shelf.
Authentication is the reason studios start. The relationship with a known collector is the reason they keep going.
Prop makers & workshops
Props & replicas
Screen-used pieces and hand-finished replicas, tagged at the bench and verifiable for the life of the object.
Fans & collectors
Talent & fan content
One tap opens behind-the-scenes films, maker notes and cast material the studio can keep adding to.
Rights holders
Anti-counterfeit & provenance
Encrypted chips that cannot be cloned onto a fake, with an ownership record that travels with the piece.
Connected editions
The object is the account.
No app, no login. The collector taps the thing they already own and the studio knows exactly which piece — and which person — just arrived.

Props & screen-used pieces
A hand-finished prop carries its own archive: where it was made, who made it, which scenes it appeared in, and who owns it now.

Provenance
A certificate that can't be photocopied.
Paper certificates get separated, copied and faked. An encrypted chip is part of the object and verifies cryptographically — so the proof and the piece stay together.
- 01
Tagged at the bench
The encrypted chip goes in during manufacture, not in a warehouse afterwards. The piece leaves the workshop already able to prove itself.
- 02
Numbered and recorded
Each piece is bound to its edition number. Piece 042 of 500 has its own record, its own portal and its own history.
- 03
Registered by the collector
One tap issues a digital certificate of ownership. No app, no account — and the studio gains a first-party relationship it owns.
- 04
Verified for life
The portal keeps working: new content, edition news, and a clean ownership record whenever the piece changes hands.
Case study · Makinarium

Only 800 individually numbered pieces, each embedded with a secure encrypted NFC chip powered by Fan Connect. One tap opens a digital portal unique to that piece: certificate of ownership, serial verification, provenance.

The Loop — Entertainment

Authenticate + register — the object proves itself, and the collector behind it stops being invisible.

Entertainment · FAQ
What studios, licensors and makers ask first.
They tap their phone against the piece. The encrypted NFC chip performs a cryptographic challenge that a cloned or copied tag cannot pass, and the phone opens a portal unique to that individual item — showing its edition number, provenance and certificate of ownership. There is no app to download and no account to create.
