# 24karat — Full Agent Reference

## What is 24karat?

24karat is a VTuber-focused NFT marketplace based in Japan. It connects VTuber
creators (virtual YouTubers and live streamers) with their fans through
exclusive digital collectibles. Fans can collect, hold, and trade NFTs from
their favourite VTubers, unlock exclusive content, and participate directly in
the creator economy.

The platform is available in English and Japanese and serves a global audience
of anime and VTuber fans, primarily in Japan, Southeast Asia, and the West.

## Core concepts

### VTubers
VTubers (Virtual YouTubers) are content creators who present themselves through
animated avatars instead of live-action video. They are hugely popular in Japan
and globally, with audiences in the millions. On 24karat, VTubers list and sell
their own branded NFTs directly to fans.

### NFTs on 24karat
24karat NFTs are digital collectibles tied to specific VTuber creators. They
come in two forms:

1. **Primary-sale NFTs** — sold directly by the creator, often as mystery boxes
   (random drops) or fixed editions. Priced in JPY.
2. **P2P marketplace listings** — fan-to-fan resales of previously-purchased
   NFTs. Priced in USD.

NFTs may include:
- Digital art or illustrated cards
- Unlockable content (exclusive video, messages, behind-the-scenes)
- Collectible trading card formats
- Limited-edition drops tied to creator milestones or events

### Wallets
Users connect a crypto wallet (e.g. MetaMask) or use 24karat's custodial
wallet to hold their NFTs. The `/en/pwa` page is the authenticated wallet
entry point — it is not publicly useful to agents.

### Mystery Boxes
A mystery box is a blind-purchase NFT drop. The buyer pays a fixed price and
receives a random NFT from the creator's set. Mystery boxes are a common
mechanic in the VTuber collector community.
