We Believe Every Item
Deserves an Identity
Valrynex was founded on a simple observation: lost items rarely find their way home because there is no reliable bridge between finder and owner.
Our Story
Valrynex started in 2024 when our founder lost a camera bag containing irreplaceable photos from a family trip. The bag was eventually returned by a stranger who spent three days trying to figure out who it belonged to. The experience was a wake-up call: why is it so difficult to connect a found item with its owner?
Existing solutions were either too fragile (stickers that peel, ink that fades), too complicated (requiring app downloads or account creation from the finder), or too invasive (exposing the owner's personal contact information to strangers).
We designed Valrynex from the ground up to solve all three problems. A premium metal plate that outlasts the item it protects. A QR code that opens a webpage instantly, no app needed. And a secure relay that connects finder to owner without exposing any personal data.
Our Mission
"To give every valuable item a digital identity that bridges the gap between loss and recovery, while keeping personal information absolutely private."
Our Values
Privacy First
Your personal information is never exposed to finders. Messages are relayed through our platform. Your email, phone number, and address stay private at every step.
Craftsmanship
Every plate is precision-engraved stainless steel, designed to withstand the same conditions as the items they protect. We do not cut corners on materials or manufacturing.
Security
Rate limiting, honeypot protection, and scan logging are built into every plate from day one. We take abuse prevention as seriously as we take recovery.
