buildsmarkets for culture.
One company. Multiple worlds.
Shmaplex is a holding company for experimental commerce, collector communities, and physical-digital products.
We build the systems behind worlds like Kingpin, Holo, xPlant, and The Crown Quorum — marketplaces and tools for people who care about the details.
Kingpin
The marketplace for fingerboard gear — listings, checkout, shipping, seller onboarding, and payouts for collectors and independent sellers.
Holo
The marketplace for Pokémon collectors — buy, sell, and trade cards with the condition clarity, listing evidence, and trust signals serious collectors demand.
xPlant
Plant tissue culture, propagation, and lab workflow tracking — the tools and records growers and labs use to scale clean plants.
The Crown Quorum
A private provenance, service, and resale-readiness platform for collector watches — a secure record room for documents, service history, and sale packets.

Our fingerboard products and marketplace activity are moving into Kingpin, the dedicated home for buying, selling, and discovering fingerboard gear.
Built from experiments.
Shmaplex did not start as a clean corporate idea. It started as experiments — a cafe called Down South, AR experiences tied to physical spaces, NFT collections connected to physical fingerboards, marketplace prototypes, community tools, and strange ideas that kept turning into real products.
Today, Shmaplex is becoming the company behind those worlds: Kingpin, Holo, xPlant, The Crown Quorum, and whatever comes next.
Two decades of building for people who ship culture.
Shmaplex started as a fingerboard shop — but behind it is 20 years of engineering and creative-technology work: product launches, platforms, apps, and campaigns for some of the world’s biggest brands.
