An Objekt is a type of photo-card that can either be purchased digitally (on the app, Cosmo) or physically (at GS25 stores or on KTOWN4U). A Digitally purchased objekt is an NFT (though not in the traditional sense as objekts are not unique and cannot be digitally invested in with crypto) that produces one COMO, a voting token that gives consumers voting ability for tripleS' future group activities, such as the decision of sub-unit lineups or title track options. Physical editions of objekts act as regular k-pop photo-cards and do not become NFTs unless scanned into the Cosmo app, leaving it entirely up to the consumer's decision to have it registered digitally or not.
Despite the digital editions being NFTs, objekts run on the Polygon Blockchain, a carbon neutral blockchain that uses a Proof-of-Stake system, and are set at a fixed price of around $2.99. This also means objekts cannot be resold and re-transacted on the blockchain for a higher price by third parties. However, purchasing is not the only way to obtain an objekt. MODHAUS sometimes holds events and free giveaways for fans who participate in certain aspects. For example, commenting on a SIGNAL video or following all of the tripleS social media will result in an objekt being granted.

Notes
- Objekts cannot be 'invested in' like other traditional NFTs, nor can they be purchased or sold on NFT Marketplaces--meaning they have no monetary value outside of the Cosmo app. This means they are unaffected by marketplace crashes.
- COMO cannot be 'invested in' like other cryptocurrencies as their sole purpose is to cast votes for MODHAUS artists' related activities. This means COMO cannot be converted to real currency like bitcoin for example.
- All MODHAUS artists receive a cut from their objekt sales. This is additional income on top of regular paychecks for album sales, streaming sales and touring revenue etc.
- After a season has ended, objekts from that season are no longer available to purchase as production of those objekts ceases to continue.

Appearance & How to obtain
Objekts are typically in the shape, length and width of a regular photo-card. On the front there is a picture of a member with a stripe on the side detailing their name and group name. On the right, the card's designated number (ex. 100z) and print number (ex. #00523) are displayed. On the back, the card's member, class, and season are noted, alongside a QR code and the member's signature.
On the physical objekts, the card's designated number is expressed with an "a" instead of a "z" and no print number is given.
- Welcome Class
- When you sign in to the app for the first time, you're automatically given one random member's "Welcome Class" objekt. There is currently no way to get more of these objekts.
- First Class
- By following tripleS on all social media platforms, you are given a free "First Class" objekt. To receive any additional digital objekts, you must purchase them for $2.99 USD each. Physical objekts are slightly more pricier and while the price does fluctuate, it is usually around $3.52 USD per pack.
- Special Class
- Special Class objekts are given out by collecting all of one member's objekts, purchasing physical merchandise (albums and photobooks), and through fansign events. All Special Class objekts will yield one COMO every month.[1]
- Double Class
- Double Class objekts are given out through fansign and collaboration events.
- Zero Class
- Zero Class objekts are given out through participating in Gravity events.
- Premier Class
- Premier Class objekts are obtained through random draw, as only 1000 of these type of objekts are printed every album release; where they are then put into physical albums.
