🧩 Fractional NFTs: Democratize Ownership

Learn how to split expensive NFTs into affordable ERC-20 shares

🎨 Own a Piece of the Masterpiece

Imagine owning a Beeple artwork worth $69 million, a CryptoPunk valued at $8 million, or a rare Fidenza piece priced at $1 million. For most people, these are impossible purchases. Fractional ownership changes that by allowing multiple people to share ownership of a single high-value NFT.

πŸ’Έ

Lower Barrier

Own 1% instead of buying 100% - access exclusive NFTs

🀝

Shared Governance

Vote on decisions proportional to your ownership stake

πŸ’§

Better Liquidity

Trade fractions easily without selling entire NFT

πŸ“ˆ Real-World Examples

πŸ–ΌοΈ
Beeple "Everydays" Fragment
$1.5M fractionalized into 10,000 tokens
Each fraction = $150, enabling widespread ownership of historic NFT
πŸ‘Ύ
CryptoPunk #1234 (Hypothetical)
$8M punk split into 1,000 fractions
$8K per fraction - community votes on display, licensing deals

Music Rights NFT

πŸ’‘ Key Insight

Fractional ownership democratizes access to blue-chip NFTs the same way index funds democratized stock market investing. Instead of needing $10M to own a rare CryptoPunk, you can own 1% for $100Kβ€”or even 0.1% for $10K. This unlocks an entirely new market of smaller collectors who can now participate in high-value NFT appreciation while maintaining liquidity through fraction trading.
