What is a Solaire wallet
The Solaire Wallet is designed specifically for everyday consumers and collectors to host and manage the digital ownership of their cherished physical possessions.
With each purchase, you will receive digital ownership in the form of a one-of-a-kind digital certificate on the blockchain, along with unique content, experiences, and perks that come with the ownership of the item. It also serves as the item’s digital product passport containing information on provenance, authenticity, and product care.
Leveraging digital ownership, you can easily resell the item to anyone, anywhere, and at any time directly from your wallet.
How to get a Solaire wallet
New users can create a Solaire wallet anytime using your email. Once your wallet is created, you are able to buy, bid or sell any items from your wallet.
If you are purchasing an item and don’t currently have a Solaire wallet, your wallet will be automatically created when you claim the item ownership with your email.
*Solaire wallet owners are identified with their email. Customers must provide an email address at the point of purchase in order to create or access their Solaire wallet. Phone numbers are not supported at the moment.
