Japan's No.1 Authenticity Verification Service "Fakebusters" Forms Partnership with Fashion-Focused Flea Market App "ARCHIVESTOCK"

IVA Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yoshio Aihara; hereinafter "IVA"), which operates "Fakebusters," Japan's No.1 (※1) AI authenticity verification service, has formed a partnership with ARCHIVESTOCK Inc. (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director CEO: Go Yonenaga; hereinafter "ARCHIVESTOCK"), which operates the fashion-focused flea market app "ARCHIVESTOCK."

Through this partnership, Fakebusters will begin providing high-quality authenticity verification, primarily for "goro's" and "CHROME HEARTS," as part of ARCHIVESTOCK's user-向け appraisal option, "Pro Appraisal."

◼️ Overview of the Partnership: Responding to the Growing Need for "Authenticity"

ARCHIVESTOCK has supported safe transactions of high-priced designer archives by offering "Pro Appraisal," an appraisal service compatible with over 5,500 brands, making it Japan's No.1 (※2) flea market app.

On the other hand, "goro's" and "CHROME HEARTS," treasures of the silver accessory and jewelry world, have seen numerous extremely sophisticated counterfeits circulating in the secondary market, demanding more specialized and physical inspection-based authenticity judgments.

With this partnership, when users select "Pro Appraisal," Fakebusters, with its world-class appraisal knowledge, will perform authenticity verification, maximizing peace of mind for high-value transactions.

Advanced Authenticity Judgment: A specialized appraisal team meticulously inspects each item using AI, state-of-the-art equipment, and a proprietary database.
