Significance in the Wiki

VeVe is the dominant NFT platform for USA-centric crypto stamps. Structurally unique in the crypto stamp space:

  1. Mobile-only distribution — no other issuer has app-only model
  2. Custodial wallets — users don't self-custody NFTs
  3. Mint-on-buy — low upfront gas costs
  4. License concentration — Disney/Marvel/USPS/etc. all on VeVe
