Collectors on VeVe have come to love one of our platform’s most engaging features: digital crafting. It’s a simple idea with a big impact – combine select collectibles to unlock something new. Whether you're chasing rarity or building your fandom shelf, crafting gives you the tools to shape your collection your way.
Crafting on VeVe is a time-sensitive feature that allows collectors to use their digital collectibles to receive a new item. The collectible used in this way can be retained, but it can also be “burned” in the process. Here on VeVe, burning is how we say an item is permanently removed from circulation. It’s a feature many collectors love for its deflationary impact on supply.
Whether or not an item is burned in the process, crafted collectibles are often rarer, animated, or tied to a specific storyline or franchise. Best of all, the entire crafting process takes place on the blockchain. So once you’ve crafted your new item, it is validated and appears instantly in your collection.
The crafting feature allows our users to explore new strategies. Collectors can evolve their shelves, reduce total supply, or unlock exclusives that are only available for a limited window.
The first-ever crafting event on VeVe began with a cultural titan: Marvel’s Infinity Gauntlet. In this groundbreaking digital release, collectors were given the opportunity to burn specific Infinity Stone collectibles in order to unlock the animated Infinity Gauntlet itself. This allowed each collector to become their own curator of destiny.
The event showcased what’s possible when digital collecting breaks free from static ownership. According to the official VeVe blog, “Once a collector has acquired all six Infinity Stones, they’ll be able to craft them into the Marvel Studios Infinity Gauntlet—one of the most iconic weapons in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.”
That kind of interactive collecting is something that sets digital apart from the physical world.

VeVe crafting has evolved since the Infinity Gauntlet event. A series of Marvel Mightys collectibles featuring stylized versions of characters from the X-Men and Avengers brought further depth to the crafting system.
In the Symbiote crafting event, users could collect Marvel Mightys and merge (craft) them with a Symbiote to receive Symbiote-enhanced versions of fan-favorite heroes and villains. Later, the X-Men: Heroes campaign introduced time-based crafting missions that rewarded commitment and collection depth.
The crafting journey culminated with collectors taking their many Sybmiote-infused Marvel Mightys and utilizing them to craft a first appearance Venom or Carnage premium digital collectible.
These events demonstrated that digital collectible crafting isn't static. It evolves with the fandom, rewards collectors, introduces surprises, and allows VeVe to tailor experiences for both seasoned collectors and new users.
Crafting isn’t limited to superheroes. VeVe collaborated with Mondo and the creators of Happy Tree Friends to launch a unique mural crafting event. Collectors who had acquired the entire Series 1 Happy Tree Friends set, which featured Flippy, Lumpy, Flaky, and Handy were able to craft exclusive murals to pose behind their collectibles.
The blog encouraged collectors to, “Transform your virtual space with these new Happy Tree Friends collectable art murals! Each piece is inspired by a classic episode and is the perfect companion for your digital collectible Happy Tree Friend!”
The Happy Tree Friends Mural set highlighted how VeVe crafting can be playful, surprising, and fully tailored to the DNA of each franchise.
Crafting adds an entirely new layer to collecting. It’s more than just buying and selling, it’s an entire experience.
You might start with a base collectible, craft it into a rarer variant, or redeem it as part of a full set challenge. Some crafting events have scarce supply limits. Others are tied to franchise storylines. Either way, your decisions shape the outcome.
That’s what makes crafting different. It’s not just collecting—it’s curating. Every move you make has an impact, whether it’s reducing supply, completing a challenge, or unlocking new visual elements in your showroom.
All you need is a free VeVe account and access to the app. From there, keep an eye here on the VeVe Blog and the in-app announcements for crafting event timelines and requirements.
Crafting is intuitive: collect the necessary items, follow the crafting instructions when the event goes live, and claim your newly minted digital collectible.
If you made it this far, hopefully you understand that crafting isn’t a side feature on VeVe. It’s a key part of what makes digital collecting so dynamic. It turns your collection into a toolkit. A way to chase rarity, explore franchise lore, and participate in real-time events that evolve with your decisions.
From forging the Infinity Gauntlet to unlocking backdrops to use in your showroom, crafting gives collectors new reasons to engage. And with more campaigns always on the horizon, it’s a feature that keeps your collection moving.
