# Introduction

### ![](https://img.pokemondb.net/sprites/black-white/anim/normal/charizard.gif)Welcome to Grail Index

Grail Index is the **first on-chain index for Pokémon grail cards**, turning one of the world’s most exclusive collectible markets into an **investable, liquid asset class**.

By fractionalizing high-value, authenticated slabs into a vault-backed token ($GRAIL), we unlock access to a market once reserved for elite collectors — bridging the massive gap of **illiquidity and inaccessibility** that defines the $9.5B Pokémon TCG ecosystem.

For the first time, anyone can gain exposure to the world’s most sought-after cards without navigating private auctions, long custodial holds, or high figure entry barriers.
