Welcome to Emblem Markets

Emblem Vault is proud to announce the launch of Emblem Markets, a chain-agnostic marketplace powered by Emblem Vault. Since its deployment on the Ethereum mainnet in September 2020, Emblem Vault has facilitated over $200 million in trading volume across 70,000 minted vaults, distributed among 17,000 unique owners and growing. Emblem Vault’s crosschain solution houses over $100 million in Total Value Vaulted (TVV), serving as the premier interoperability tool for UTXO-based assets like Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin, Namecoin, Bellscoin, and more, enabling cross-blockchain movement.

Initially created in 2016 by Shannon Code, Emblem Vault was envisioned as a means to trade a crypto wallet, thereby extending asset transferability beyond the bounds of virtual machine integrations. Today, Emblem Vault has introduced a third mechanism — Vaulting — that, alongside Bridging and Wrapping, is poised to lead the industry into a multichain future.

What is Emblem Vault?

Crosschain, multichain, and omnichain are key terms that describe the realm of crypto interoperability. These concepts center on enabling blockchains and their related assets to “exist” on other chains.

1. Bridging (2018): The process of transferring digital assets or data between blockchain networks, enabling interoperability. This typically involves locking assets on one chain while unlocking equivalent assets on another, facilitating seamless cross-chain transactions. Lock & Mint
2. Wrapping (2019): The process of tokenizing an asset from one blockchain on another, creating a “wrapped asset.” This wrapped asset represents the original asset but functions within the ecosystem of a different blockchain, enhancing interoperability and cross-chain functionality. Custody & Mint
3. Vaulting (2020): The process of securely encapsulating a digital asset within a vault, which can then be transferred or traded as a single entity, allowing enhanced cross-chain interoperability and simplifying the management and exchange of assets across different blockchain networks. Encrypt & Mint

Emblem Vault’s innovative approach to tokenizing a crypto wallet enables interaction with both UTXO-based blockchains (Bitcoin, Dogecoin, etc.) and smart contract-based blockchains (Ethereum, Solana, etc.), providing a unique interoperability protocol. This crosschain infrastructure allows Emblem to interact with NFTs seamlessly across blockchains, enabling cross-chain movements with just a few clicks.

Why Emblem Markets?

Emblem Markets’ approach to crosschain infrastructure is “chain-agnostic,” meaning technical decisions are abstracted away from the end user, while also allowing advanced users to customize the vaulting process. These key components differentiate a “native experience” from an “agnostic experience”:

• Listing in a Cryptocurrency
• Purchasing in a Cryptocurrency
• Delivering Digital Assets on a Blockchain

Example 1: User A purchases NodeMonke #6969 for 0.5 BTC using their Xverse Wallet. User B receives 0.5 BTC upon transaction completion. User A receives NodeMonke once the mempool has finalized the transaction.

Example 2: User A purchases Modemonke for 10 ETH using their Metamask. User B receives their 0.5 BTC upon purchase, as chosen for payment currency. User A receives Modemonke on Solana, leveraging Emblem Vault crosschain technology.

Example 1 is a native experience, while Example 2 is a chain-agnostic experience. The former leverages blockchain native tooling, while the latter leverages Emblem Vault crosschain tooling. This vision is what Emblem Markets is building towards.
