Every collection begins with a spark.
For VeVe, that spark lit in October 2020 when the very first digital collectibles arrived on the app: the Batman Black & White Series 1 release. It was bold, iconic, and symbolic. The Dark Knight stood tall as the gateway to something completely new.
No one knew it at the time, but that statue marked the birth of a movement. Collectors around the world were about to experience fandom in a whole new dimension.
The year that followed was a whirlwind. Collectors flooded into VeVe to explore the platform and make connections. The in-app Market opened soon after, allowing fans to buy and sell their collectibles instantly with people across the globe.
For the first time, fandom wasn’t bound by shelves, shipping, or geography. You could buy a Batman while in New York and sell it with a collector in Seoul before lunch. That global energy became part of VeVe’s DNA; a digital meeting ground where collectors from every corner of pop culture fandom converged.
Then came the moment that changed everything. In August 2021, Marvel Comics #1 made its digital debut on VeVe. For decades, collectors had hunted physical comics in long boxes and convention halls. Now, they could own a licensed digital edition, that was authenticated, displayable, readable, and alive in augmented reality.
It wasn’t long before the magic of Disney’s Golden Moments filled the app. Mickey, Elsa, and Iron Man shared the same digital space for the first time. That November collaboration celebrated Disney+ Day and marked another milestone: VeVe was now home to the biggest entertainment brands on Earth.
The floodgates opened. Pixar, Star Wars, and other fan-favorite franchises joined the ranks soon after. Celebrated artists from around the world joined the platform. Each new drop expanded what it meant to collect. This wasn’t just about owning characters, it was about participating in their stories.
As 2022 rolled in, collectors began shaping their worlds inside VeVe. Virtual Showrooms transformed from simple display rooms into full-on creative spaces. Collectors built museums, battle scenes, and themed dioramas. Each creation became a glimpse into a personal fandom.
The community found its rhythm. AR photos flooded social feeds, Marketplace trends took shape, and long-time fans began sharing digital collecting tips the same way they once swapped physical cards and comics. The conversation shifted from “What is VeVe?” to “What’s next on VeVe?”
When VeVe launched its dedicated comics platform, VeVe Comics, everything changed again. Readers could now explore their digital issues in full—panel by panel—while collectors still chased those rare cover variants that defined comic fandom for generations.
This evolution turned VeVe into more than a collectibles app. It became a digital publishing platform, a new home for storytelling, and a way for lifelong readers to carry their libraries anywhere they went.
Behind the scenes, technology evolved too. Augmented reality improved. Drop mechanics refined. And the collector journey—discover, collect, display, connect—became more seamless than ever before.
February 2025 marked a landmark moment: the official launch of the VeVeVerse. After years of anticipation, collectors could finally step inside their digital worlds. Showrooms became immersive spaces. Collectibles stood life-sized. And for the first time, collectors could meet, explore, and create together inside a shared metaverse built entirely for fandom.
The VeVeVerse wasn’t just an upgrade—it was a realization. Everything that started with a single Batman statue had evolved into a living universe of collectibles, stories, and community.
Not long after, the integration with StackR brought VeVe to a new marketplace frontier. This allowed collectors to purchase directly with the OMI token. Collectors could now buy and sell through a platform that expanded accessibility and liquidity, while still maintaining VeVe’s focus on trust, security, and fandom authenticity.
This step reaffirmed VeVe’s purpose: to make collecting not only more accessible but more dynamic. The StackR launch signaled a future where digital collectibles move effortlessly across ecosystems, empowering collectors to take their fandom wherever they go.
Five years in, the numbers only tell part of the story. Thousands of drops. Countless collectors. A global community that turned fandom into connection.
But the true success of VeVe lies in the moments we’ve shared. The first AR photo you took. The rare drop you landed against all odds. The friends you met in spaces and live chats. Every piece collected tells part of the larger story. One that belongs to all of us.
What started as an experiment in 2020 has grown into a cultural movement. VeVe has become the meeting point of nostalgia and innovation, where icons of yesterday meet the technology of tomorrow.
As we celebrate five years of VeVe, one thing remains constant: our love of collecting. The future promises deeper immersion, more creative expression, and even greater connections between collectors, creators, and the worlds they love.
To every collector who’s been here since day one, and to those just discovering VeVe, thank you. You’ve helped shape not only our platform but the entire future of digital collecting. Here’s to five years of innovation, imagination, and incredible fandom.
Here’s to the next chapter of VeVe. We’re just getting started.
