How Relic Works

Relic is a drop system for collectibles. Creators load real prizes — NFTs, tokens, and physical items — into a drop; collectors pull for them with USDC on Solana. Every pull is provably fair and every payout is backed by on-chain collateral.

For Collectors

Pick a drop & pull

Browse drops, check the odds and average value, then pull with USDC. You approve a real transfer in your wallet — nothing is drawn until your payment confirms on-chain.

Reveal your prize

The item is drawn provably-fairly from live inventory and revealed instantly. Token prizes land straight in your wallet.

Keep it, sell it back, or ship it

For collectibles you choose: claim the NFT to your wallet, sell back instantly for USDC at the drop's buyback rate, or — for physical (RWA) items — redeem & ship by paying shipping and entering your saved address.

Track delivery & review

Physical orders are tracked end-to-end through ShipStation's carrier-tracking API (a paid, industry-standard service), so the status updates straight from the carrier (USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL). Once it's confirmed delivered the order auto-completes, the backing NFT is sent to your wallet, and you can leave the seller a 0–5★ review. If the tracking stalls, the item never arrives, or it shows up damaged or wrong, open a dispute for a full refund before the order completes.

For Creators

Launch a drop

Set a name, cover, price per pull, and rarity odds. Drops can be NFTs, tokens, off-chain collectibles, or a mix.

Stock real prizes

Deposit NFTs straight from your wallet into on-chain escrow, fund token prizes, or list collectibles. Mark any item a physical (RWA) item and set domestic / international shipping fees.

Back it with collateral

To go live, a drop holds enough USDC collateral to honor every sell-back. The house edge tops the vault back up as pulls come in; you withdraw only the surplus above what's required.

Fulfill & get paid

Ship physical wins (paste a tracking number), and earnings settle to your drop's vault. Your public profile shows your rating so collectors can trust you before they pull.

Why it's safe

Provably fair: each pull commits to a hashed server seed before you play, combined with your client seed — so the result can't be tampered with and you can verify it.

Collateral-backed: sell-backs and refunds are pre-funded in the drop's vault. A drop can't go live or keep taking pulls if it's under-collateralized.

On-chain & verifiable: payments, NFT transfers, and payouts are real Solana transactions. NFT prizes are held in escrow and only released to the winner.

Buyer protection: physical orders are tracked to delivery, hold the seller's collateral until then, and can be disputed for a full refund (item value + shipping) if they don't arrive.

FAQ

›What do I pay with?

USDC on Solana. You'll need a small amount of SOL for network fees.

›What's the sell-back / buyback rate?

Each drop sets its own buyback rate (shown on the drop). Selling back is instant and final, paid in USDC from the drop's collateral vault.

›How does shipping work for physical items?

The creator sets a flat domestic and international shipping fee. You pay it in USDC at redemption, and it ships to the address saved on your account. We compare your country to the seller's to pick the right fee automatically. Every order is then tracked through ShipStation's paid carrier-tracking API — your collateral stays locked and the NFT is held in escrow until delivery is confirmed, then it auto-completes 3 days later and the NFT is released to you.

›What if my item never arrives or arrives damaged?

Open a dispute from My Orders before the order completes. That pauses the order, and if upheld you're refunded the item's value plus shipping from the seller's collateral.

›Is my shipping address private?

Yes. Your saved address is locked behind a one-time wallet signature — only you can read or change it.

›Can anyone launch a drop?

Yes. Connect a wallet, verify your X account for a creator badge, and launch. RWA drops require a ship-from address on file.
