Digiown
A social network and marketplace for collectors — with architecture concepts for tokenized authentication, years before the web3 wave.
The problem
Collectors had no trusted home to showcase what they owned, discover rare finds, and trade with confidence. Provenance and authenticity — the things that actually matter to a collector — were impossible to verify online.
What I built
A social platform for collectors: profiles to showcase a collection, a discovery feed, a marketplace, and direct messaging for trades. Underneath it, I designed architecture concepts for tokenized authentication and smart contracts — a way to prove an item was what it claimed to be. It was a digital-ownership product sketched out years before the language for it existed.
What it proves
I saw digital-ownership and web3 use cases years before the hype — and could carry an idea from full UX architecture through to a tokenomics and authentication model.
