Getting started with TAP Stamps

For most users, Stamps memberhip is FREE and you have access to most features of the platform. There is a small fee for some advanced 'Pro' features and for our enterprise customers.
Currently, launching a collection is by invitation only. If you are interested in publishing your collection please contact our collections team.

Although our collections are secured and authenticated using cryptography and blockchain technology, you do NOT need crypto coins or to set up a crypto wallet to start collecting.

Purchasing collectibles is like a regular online shopping experience.

Collectibles

Digital collectibles (or 'stamps') are unique digital files such as images, video or audio files. They are typically included as part of a set or 'collection' of similar items. They can be bought, sold and otherwise traded in our secondary Stamps Marketplace.

Each collection is unique in terms of the number of collectibles and the limited number of editions available. Collectibles are ranked in terms of the rarity of each. In order of rarity are Common, Rare, Super Rare, Epic and Iconic. For example, a set may include 100 collectibles with many considered 'Common' and only 1 collectible considered 'Iconic'. If there are only 3 editions of the iconic collectible then only 3 complete collections may exist.

Collections may be limited or unlimited. In limited edition collections, there is a finite number of stamps available. Unlimited editions may be open or may be discontinued on a certain date. In this case, no more stamps will be issued beyond those previously issued.

It is possible to get multiple instances of the same collectible. Collectors may choose to trade duplicates in the marketplace.

Buy. Sell. Trade.

Collectibles are available for purchase on our website in digital mystery packs. Each pack includes 3 or 5 individual collectibles from the chosen collection. The contents are unknown at the time of purchase.

Purchase is available using regular credit and debit cards. No crypto coins or crypto wallets are necessary.

If you would like to 'pick and choose' a particular collectible, then you can do so in the Stamps Marketplace.

You may sell or trade your collectibles in the Stamps Marketplace.

The Marketplace is for secondary sales only and will be open for a collection within a specific number of days after launch or when a given fraction of the collection has been sold in the primary marketplace.

Verified collectors can sell collectibles at any time. Without verification, a collectible must be held for 30 days before being sold on the secondary marketplace. This is protect our members by preventing instances of fraud.

Verification is a simple no-cost procedure, and applications can be made 30 days after joining the platform.

Support For Creators and Non-Profits

Some collections are created by TAP Labs. Others are created by individuals or organizations.
