Introducing DSTLRY Remarques & DSTLRY Proof

July 23, 2024

As San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC) 2024 approaches tomorrow, we're unveiling two features on the DSTLRY digital platform: DSTLRY Remarques and DSTLRY Proof. Debuting at Booth #2314, these patent-pending innovations open up new possibilities of creator interactions in digital autographing, sketching, and IRL digital ownership verification.

DSTLRY Remarques: Personalized Digital Editions and Sketches

DSTLRY Remarques allows creators to sign and sketch on digital editions of DSTLRY issues and books, creating completely individualized and re-sellable editions. This feature offers a new personal dimension to digital collectibles, enhancing their uniqueness and value for the customers, and like all collectibles on the DSTLRY Marketplace, creators receive a percentage of every resale of the signed or sketched digital collectible.

How It Works:

Customers can display a QR code from their DSTLRY digital comic library, under the Proof menu option.
Verified creators will use the signing app to scan the QR code and sign the digital edition on a tablet in front of the customer.
When completed, the signature or sketch is sent to the DSTLRY servers and recorded with full verification of the signature, and will be displayed when reading the edition.
Exclusive SDCC Signing Event: Signing will be available during SDCC (July 24-28, 2024).
Full-Color Sketches Coming Soon: Following SDCC, DSTLRY will expand this feature to include full-color sketches on sketch covers, offering even more personalized and collectible editions.

DSTLRY Proof: IRL Benefits with Live Digital Ownership Verification

At SDCC 2024, DSTLRY will also debut DSTLRY Proof, a digital ownership verification tool designed to revolutionize digital ownership benefits, with in-person (IRL) digital ownership verification. The first application of DSTLRY Proof will be for obtaining the highly anticipated Mominu x Somna art toy, a limited-edition vinyl designer art toy colorway created by renowned artist Junko Mizuno. Mominu x Somna features metallic paints and a glow-in-the-dark candle. Inspired by Becky Cloonan and Tula Lotay’s character Ingrid from their hit series Somna, this art toy will be offered for sale in an extremely limited run of 20 units per day over the five days of SDCC...but only to those with PROOF that they own digital copies of Somna or The Devil’s Cut on DSTLRY’s digital platform.

How It Works:

Customers who own digital editions of Somna or The Devil’s Cut on dstlry.co will have the exclusive opportunity to purchase the Mominu x Somna art toy.
To verify ownership, customers will navigate to their account area on the DSTLRY digital marketplace and generate a QR code.
The DSTLRY booth team at SDCC will scan the QR code to confirm ownership, allowing the customer to proceed with the purchase.

"DSTLRY Remarques and DSTLRY Proof exemplify our mission to merge the traditional comic experience with groundbreaking digital advancements," DSTLRY co-founder David Steinberger explains. "These features not only enhance the collector's experience but also ensure that our creators are continuously supported through perpetual royalties via our digital marketplace."
