Emblem Vault

Nova helps you explore and create Emblem Vaults — conversationally, with zero custody. An Emblem Vault wraps a non-EVM asset (a Bitcoin Ordinal, BRC-20, Bitcoin Stamp, rare sat, Counterparty/XCP asset, Dogecoin, and more) into a tradable NFT on Ethereum, so it can change hands on marketplaces like OpenSea.

What's inside a vault? (Vault Lookup)

Hand Nova a vault and it tells you exactly what's wrapped inside, what it's worth, and whether it's been claimed. You can pass a numeric tokenId, a 0xcontract/tokenId pair, or a marketplace link — Nova figures out the rest. Read-only and keyless.

Example prompt:

"What's in this Emblem Vault? 30243073570574861"

What you'll get:

• The vault name, image, and platform
• Contents — each wrapped coin's balance, USD price, USD value, and inner on-chain address
• Total USD value of everything inside
• Claim status — whether the vault has already been claimed

---

Browse the collection catalog (Collections)

Not sure what Emblem can wrap? Ask Nova to browse or search the 74 curated collections — the official catalog of supported wrap targets. Filter by a name/asset keyword or ask for mintable-only. Read-only and keyless.

Example prompt:

"Which Emblem collections are mintable right now?"

What you'll get — for each collection:

• The name and the native asset(s) it wraps
• The chain and whether it's currently mintable
• The mint / unvault price (in COVAL, not USD)
• The Ethereum contract and a short description

Which vaults does a wallet own? (Wallet Vaults)

Point Nova at an EVM address and it finds the curated Emblem Vaults that wallet holds. Ethereum only for now; read-only and non-custodial.

Example prompt:

"What Emblem Vaults does 0x… own?"

What you'll get:

• Each matched vault's collection, contract, tokenId, and a marketplace link
• Optionally, the contents of the first few vaults (wrapped balances, USD value, claim status)

Creating a vault (Guided, Non-Custodial)

Ask Nova how to vault an asset and it walks you through the whole flow, then hands you the official link to mint in your own wallet.

Example prompt:

"I want to wrap my Bitcoin Ordinal into a tradable NFT"

What Nova gives you:

• A plain-English explanation of what a vault is and the custody model
• The official create URL (emblem.vision)
• A step-by-step outline:
  1. Connect your own wallet (Nova doesn't connect or sign for you)
  2. Choose the asset / chain you want to wrap
  3. Name the vault, add an image/description
  4. Fund the vault's deposit address from your wallet
  5. Approve any token spend, then pay gas + the Emblem deploy fee
  6. Mint and sign in your own wallet — you now own a tradable vault
  7. To redeem later, claim the vault (this exposes the inner key)
• The supported asset types and the safety caveats

Why guided instead of fully in-chat? Minting is a transaction your own wallet must sign, and the vault's inner key has to be custodied by Emblem's infrastructure — not by Nova. Doing the mint "inside" Nova would mean Nova holding keys on your behalf, which we deliberately avoid — so Nova handles guidance, lookup, and verification, and hands the signing to you.

Safety

• Never share your vault private key or seed with anyone — including Nova.
• Fees and gas are charged by Emblem and the network, not Nova — Nova takes no cut.
• A claimed vault has had its key revealed — don't reuse it to store value.
• Always confirm you're on the official Emblem domain before connecting your wallet.
