History disappears
into private rooms.
A single museum building can hold 100,000 objects. Thousands of homes hold hundreds of millions. For centuries, if an object wasn't acquired by an institution, it vanished from the historical record.
Relic introduces a new model: Custodianship. Keep your objects. Keep them in your home, on your desk, in your storage. But put a digital twin into the public record so humanity knows it survived.
Verified Provenance
Every digital record undergoes community and expert verification. A clear ledger of survival.
Research Access
Researchers can request high-res photography, measurements, or physical visits directly from custodians.
Digital Twins
