    Smart Tags

    Give every card a verified passport.

    Smart Tags are NFC + QR tags that link a physical card to a live digital passport — proving verified ownership, showing real market value, and traveling with the item when it trades. Trade with confidence: tap or scan to see who really owns what.

    How it works

    From sticker to passport in three taps

    No app to download. Every Smart Tag is just a tap or scan away from a live, verifiable page.

    01

    Attach a Smart Tag

    Stick an NFC + QR Smart Tag on a slab, binder, deck box, or sealed product. Each tag is unique and links to one item's digital passport.

    02

    Tap or scan to activate

    The first signed-in member to tap (NFC) or scan (QR) an unregistered tag becomes its verified owner. First-scan-wins — then the tag locks to your account.

    03

    Anyone can verify it

    A tap or scan opens a public passport showing the verified owner, live market value, and trade reputation — proof of what it is and who owns it.

    What a passport shows

    Proof that travels with the card

    Verified digital ownership

    Every tag is bound to one account. A public passport proves who owns the item — not just who's holding it.

    Live market value

    The passport shows a current market estimate for the card, pulled from live pricing data — so buyers and traders see real value.

    Trade reputation on display

    Owner trade rating, completed trades, and sales appear right on the passport, so counterparties can trust who they're dealing with.

    Ownership transfers with trades

    When an item trades hands through Poké-Trade, its Smart Tag reassigns to the new owner automatically — the passport stays honest.

    Report lost or stolen

    Flag a tag as lost or stolen and its passport shows the alert to anyone who scans it — a real deterrent for theft and resale.

    NFC + QR, works anywhere

    Tap with any modern phone or scan the QR code — no app required. Every scan just opens a web page.

    Anti-theft by design

    Stolen cards can't hide their history

    When a tag is reported lost or stolen, its passport shows the alert to everyone who scans it. Combined with verified ownership and trade-linked transfers, a Smart Tag makes a card far harder to quietly resell — and far easier to prove is yours.
