The Beginning: Authentic Copper Artifacts

$JOBSHOP token starts with something tangible, something real, something valuable: handcrafted copper artifacts made in a small American job shop. Copper isn't just a beautiful metal—it's a commodity with inherent worth, antimicrobial properties, and timeless appeal. While most of my work involves manufacturing automotive resistance welding electrodes, I've always wanted to create something more personal, more artistic—serial-numbered copper pieces that people actually want to own, collect, and treasure.

But this is just the beginning. Every copper artifact I ship proves that there's a better way to bridge the gap between consumers and small manufacturers. The authentication system, the HODLER incentives, and yes—those easter eggs—they're all part of building a model where real craftsmanship meets digital innovation. This is manufacturing you can hold in your hands, backed by a token that actually means something.

The Vision: Rebuilding the Manufacturing Ecosystem

There used to be a neighborhood craftsperson for everything—the local machinist, the welder down the street, the blacksmith who could make whatever you needed. That ecosystem got destroyed by big-box stores and overseas manufacturing. But those small job shops still exist, tucked away in industrial parks across America, doing incredible work that everyday people never see.

$JOBSHOP is building the infrastructure to bring them back into the light. We're creating a platform where consumers can discover capabilities, commission custom work, and access American manufacturing that otherwise stays hidden in the B2B world.

The Future: A Manufacturing Renaissance

Imagine a multi-modal platform where you can browse a directory of job shops by capability, bid on custom manufacturing services, commission prototype work, or simply discover unique pieces that makers create for the love of their craft. The token becomes the trust layer, the access mechanism, and the community that makes it all work.

What used to require knowing your local blacksmith now works at continental scale. We're not just selling products—we're rebuilding the village craftsperson model for the modern age, one shop at a time.

Token Information

The $JOBSHOP App

We're developing a dedicated application that will revolutionize how this ecosystem operates:

• Token Tracking: Monitor your $JOBSHOP holdings and transaction history with real-time updates
• Secure Redemption System: Claim copper artifacts safely while keeping your wallet address fully encrypted
• Artifact Authentication: Verify the authenticity and provenance of every mj41 artifact with serial number lookup
• HODLER Rewards Dashboard: Track your holding duration and unlock access to exclusive limited runs
• Manufacturer Directory: Browse participating job shops and their capabilities
• Order Management: Track your artifact orders from forge to doorstep

The app ensures the system stays efficient, secure, and user-friendly as we scale from copper artifacts to the full manufacturing marketplace.

The mj41 Artifact Registry

Every copper artifact created for $JOBSHOP will be officially documented in the mj41, llc. artifact registry. Each piece receives:

• Unique Serial Number: Permanently stamped on the artifact
• Certificate of Authenticity: Digital and physical documentation
• Provenance Tracking: Creation date, materials used, and edition information
• HODLER Benefits: Special designations for long-term token holders who redeem

This isn't just about making cool stuff—it's about creating verifiable, collectible, valuable pieces that prove American craftsmanship still matters. And for those lucky enough to discover an easter egg? Well, that's a reward worth HODLing for.
