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.
Your vault, your keys. Nova never holds your seed, never signs for you, and never sees your vault's private key. For creation, Nova guides you and hands off the official link — you mint and sign in your own wallet.
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
A claimed vault is no longer secure for storing value — claiming exposes its inner private key. Values shown are indicative and not financial advice.
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:
Connect your own wallet (Nova doesn't connect or sign for you)
Choose the asset / chain you want to wrap
Name the vault, add an image/description
Fund the vault's deposit address from your wallet
Approve any token spend, then pay gas + the Emblem deploy fee
Mint and sign in your own wallet — you now own a tradable vault
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.
