About CardChain

Transforming trading cards into professional investments with AI technology.

How CardChain Started

Born from a coffee shop conversation about market problems.

It all started in a local coffee shop when Dan Hughes and Levi Hughes were discussing the frustrations plaguing the trading card market.

As a lifelong collector, Levi knew the pain points firsthand - inconsistent grading, lack of transparency, limited investment tools, and platforms that didn't understand what collectors actually needed.

With Dan Hughes' fintech expertise and Levi Hughes' collector insights, they realized they had the unique combination needed to build something different - a platform that would solve the problems others in the space hadn't addressed.
