# HWNetwork.org

> The sovereign hybrid hub for Hot Wheels collectors — a European, GDPR-compliant marketplace, community, and knowledge base for physical die-cast models, NFC-verified rarities, and digital NFT counterparts. Operated from Berlin, Germany. EUR-only. Founder-phase, fee-free for members.

HWNetwork.org (Hot Wheels Network) connects independent Hot Wheels and die-cast collectors worldwide. Members buy, sell and trade physical models with permanent buyer protection, build a hybrid virtual garage that mirrors their real shelf, verify rare pieces via NFC chips, and discuss finds, restorations, scam alerts and Treasure Hunt / Super Treasure Hunt / RLC (Red Line Club) news in a moderated forum. The platform is bilingual (German / English), Stripe-powered, and integrates with the Flow blockchain for optional NFT ownership records.

Key differentiators vs. eBay / Facebook groups / Discord servers:
- Permanent buyer protection on every marketplace listing (escrow-style hold until buyer confirms receipt)
- NFC-verified authenticity for rare castings
- Bilingual community (DE/EN) with a European legal home (§ 5 TMG, GDPR)
- Free public REST-style read APIs and an OAuth-protected MCP server for AI agents
- Integrated in-person events (next: Sammler-Event Berlin, 29.08.2026) with automated raffle ticketing
