What Is LuxFi? Everything You Need To Know
A comprehensive guide explaining LuxFi’s Web3.0 Asset-Backed Luxury NFT Marketplace, the LXF token, the Metaverse and more.
What is LuxFi?
LuxFi is the world’s first asset-backed NFT marketplace for luxury assets that bridges the gap between real-world assets and NFTs. LuxFi is disrupting the luxury industry. It’s making trading luxury goods easier and more convenient.
LuxFi is a blockchain platform that tokenizes luxury goods in the form of NFTs. The platform is bringing real-world assets onto the digital world through blockchain technology. A dream-made reality for luxury items and NFTs buyers, sellers and investors, where LuxFi allows permanent traceability, real-time authentication, and asset transferability.
What is LuxFi NFT Marketplace?
LuxFi is an online luxury marketplace where tokenized items are traded over blockchain networks. Each luxury item on LuxFi is tokenized in the form of an NFT, which contains all the information of the physical object and can be used for traceability of the product’s information, history and authenticity.
LuxFi leverages the power of big data to evaluate the accurate value of all the luxury goods traded over its marketplace. The NFTs allow the item to be traded multiple times and track its ownership. If a user wants to redeem the physical object, this is also possible.
What does LuxFi authenticate products in its network?
All items are authenticated by professional verifiers in LuxFi’s network. To be able to trace the product information including the authenticity of the luxury assets, LuxFi is using Product Fingerprint Technology, linking each physical asset with its virtual asset for finished products.
Products listed in the marketplace are linked directly with their original brands and manufacturers, using an anti-forgeable NFC chip inside each product. A tokenized NFT card containing a unique QR code is created so that users are able to constantly track the history and information of the assets.
LuxFi also collects crucial product information with our data intelligence system to create an accurate picture of the luxury goods currently on the market: this includes accurate pricing for luxury assets and data-driven insights of the luxury market as a whole. This is crucial info, as luxury goods are difficult to give a valuation to, due to their exclusivity, a detriment for those looking to sell. This is a problem that also affects the lending and secondary market for luxury goods.

What is an NFT and how do they work?
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are by definition unique digital blockchain (crypto) assets capable of storing extra information and which have no replacement.
NFTs provide true ownership over designs, inventions and creations, and derive their value directly from a combination of rarity, artistry, utility and community, relying on no central figure or authority to function.
NFTs have built-in (i.e. hard-coded) smart contracts, allowing for royalties to be collected in perpetuity (i.e. the maker can profit for life from their work), and as such represent the evolution of personal and collective wealth now forming the building blocks for much larger financial and social projects.
Take some time to understand the true value of blockchain NFT technology using cultural & technological frameworks.
Why are NFTs so popular?
The burgeoning NFT space grew massively in 2021, seeing trading volumes in Q3 pushing $10.67 billion (DappRader). In August of 2021, OpenSea NFT Marketplace saw record trading volume, with $75 million in NFT sales in one (1) day — accounting for more than its entire trading volume in all of 2020.
Due to the science of distributed blockchain ledgers and immutable smart contracts, NFTs cannot be falsified or maligned, and authentic ownership can be validated; as such, NFTs are the perfect medium for scarce assets and are the redefinition of what it means to actually own property.
What makes NFT Marketplaces worth using?
LuxFi has built a system, an Asset-Backed NFT Marketplace available to all, where all products sold are authenticated by professional verifiers. LuxFi directly tokenizes products from legitimate brands and retail partners.
Once products are authenticated, LuxFi ties the physical product to its NFT counterpart using unique product fingerprint technology or working directly with brands and manufacturers to insert a secure NFC chipset inside each item during production.
Each product is tied to an NFT which is verified and accounted for via the ever-present, immutable, globally-distributed blockchain ledger.
What is Web3.0 E-commerce? What is the Metaverse?
Interacting with retailers from within Web3 marketplaces is now a fully-authenticated (trustless) experience, utilizing smart contracts and non-custodial accounts within permission-less mediums of decentralized exchange.
Blockchain technology now offers immediate, fee-less, unmistakable transfer of ownership of real, tangible goods and a wholly innovative new method of empowering consumers around the world.
This is truly the next wave of e-commerce we have long been waiting for as LuxFi’s Asset-Backed NFT Marketplace is now here to bring all these things — authenticated luxury goods listed in an open marketplace backed by real-world assets and secured with traceable, immutable blockchain NFTs — into alignment and into congruence, one product at a time.
Why are luxury brands joining the Metaverse?
In online games, players wear ‘skins’ — outfits or shells, which makes the player’s appearance customisable. Such avatars have all the potential to eventually become as common as today’s profile pictures on social media, replacing static images with living 3D representations of real-life people, copying our expressions and gestures.
No surprise, the fashion industry has taken this trend quite seriously, as all limitations dictated by market practicalities, gravity or logic are simply gone. In other words, the Metaverse opens up vast opportunities for designers’ creativity. Luxury brands can reissue their archival designs as pieces exclusively available in the Metaverse.
The Metaverse can help luxury brands to solve the problem of oversupply. After watching a virtual fashion show, customers could place their orders online, which would allow brands to produce what has already been purchased and not overfill retail stores with real-life garments.
What is the luxury retail secondhand market?
The secondhand luxury market, estimated at $25–30 billion in 2020, is expected to have an annual growth rate of 10–15% over the next ten years! access to rare in value, exclusive products and contribution to greater sustainability in the luxury industry.
One-third of buyers also prioritize affordability, and healthy resale markets help to reinforce craftsmanship, durability, and sustainability in original manufacturing.
Learn more about secondhand luxury industry markets and why you should dive into them.
What is the true value of a luxury asset NFT?
The luxury goods market is one of the highest earning industries worldwide and with a $4 trillion global capitalization, it is one of the sectors of the economy that is truly recession-proof.
By creating unique NFTs of luxury items, tracking them through a distributed ledger, and selling them to a global audience over the blockchain, NFTs of luxury goods could become the next revolution in the luxury industry.
Why does authenticity matter?
Reliable and honest manufacture of consumer goods is something that affects all of us, no matter where you are or what you buy — counterfeiting must be eliminated to ensure a global free market may prosper, so that innovation can occur and thus be rewarded.
How does LuxFi combat counterfeiting?
How we know a product is real is now manifested by merging blockchain tech with real-world assets, using tracking chips to protect and empower luxury brands and utilizing the non-fungibility and embedded commission structures of NFTs.
Learn more about how LuxFi is helping to combat counterfeiting globally in the luxury retail industry.
What is Aura Blockchain Consortium?
LVMH and Prada — together with Cartier, a part of Richemont — announced the creation of the Aura Blockchain Consortium to promote the use of a single global blockchain solution that is open to all luxury brands worldwide. Aura’s technology enables direct-to-consumer access to product history, materials used, details on craftsmanship, and information on proof of authenticity.
