# The Collectors NFT Vault

### The Collectors NFT Vault is a new way to fractionalize NFTs. Instead of using ERC20, each part is represented as an ERC721 token.

There are many advantages for doing so such as:

1.  “Blue-chip” collections are more accessible for mainstream collectors (you might not have 20 ETH to buy a MAYC but you do have 5 ETH to buy 25% of it)
    
2.  You can sell your ownership share on Opensea (and other marketplaces) immediately and don’t need liquidity in an ERC20 pool nor relying on arbitrageurs to fix the discrepancies between the market cap of the ERC20 and the collection floor price
    
3.  As oppose to other platforms, our vaults allow listing and buying NFTs directly on Opensea rather than needing to auction on Fractional
    
4.  You can use your share NFT (it looks like the original NFT just with % strip) as a PFP and flex that you own 50% of a BAYC
    
5.  You can split your high end NFT (1000 ETH+) to X parts and sell them on Opensea
    
6.  Projects can grow their community by offering benefits (i.e joining discord) to holders that have more than x% ownership in the project’s NFT
    

Furthermore, as far as we know, the NFT vault is the first product that allows a group of people to buy **and sell** NFTs on Opensea.

### So how does it work?

Create a vault
