Get paid to hold sealed tech
A Keeper holds sealed items for owners who would rather not ship them. You receive each item once, photograph it on a schedule, and ship it when the owner asks. The fee is per item per month and does not move with the item’s price.
The job
- ReceiveThe item arrives sealed. Photograph it, record the serial, and confirm it on its custody receipt. Only the Keeper can mark an item as held.
- HoldKeep it at your fixed address, sealed, dry and out of direct sun.
- ProveEvery 7 to 30 days we send a one-time code. Photograph the sealed item next to it. A late or missed proof shows on the public receipt.
- ShipWhen the owner redeems the receipt, ship the item where they ask. The owner pays postage.
What you are paid
The fee rises with how much an item’s price moves, because a volatile item needs more frequent proof and puts more at stake. It never depends on the price itself.
| Tier | 30-day price range | Proof of holding | Per item per month |
|---|---|---|---|
| T1 | 0% to 15% | Every 30 days | $1.50 |
| T2 | 15% to 30% | Every 14 days | $2.25 |
| T3 | 30% and up | Every 7 days | $3.75 |
Published rates for individual Keepers, from a base of $1.50. A business joining the pilot can quote its own rate.
What you need
- A fixed address and a camera. A phone is fine.
- Cover for what you hold. An individual posts a USDC bond of at least 110% of the replacement value held. A business can use insurance or its existing compensation policy instead.
- For a business, a written contract covering insurance, licences and payouts.
What a Keeper never does
- Hold anyone’s money. Keeper Holdings pays your fee, and payments between owners never pass through you.
- Carry price risk. Your fee is the same whether the item doubles or halves.
- Open, use or resell an item.
The pilot
Tokyo comes first, for the Japan-side parts in the index. We’re starting with 20 to 50 items over three months. Transfers between owners stay switched off until the pilot gates are met.
