Provenance and authenticity are critical for artists, collectors, and institutions. DEscriptions provide a tamper-proof, on-chain record for every piece of art or collectible.
- On-Chain Registration: Artists and owners inscribe their works or collectibles on-chain, creating a permanent, public record of authenticity and origin.
- Ownership Transfers: Each transfer of ownership is recorded as an update or endorsement, ensuring a transparent chain of custody.
- Endorsements & Certifications: Galleries, experts, or institutions can endorse or certify works, adding credibility and value.
- Physical & Digital: Works can be digital (NFTs, digital art) or physical (paintings, sculptures, rare items), with QR codes or NFC tags linking to their on-chain DEscription.
- Public Verification: Anyone can verify authenticity, provenance, and ownership history via blockchain explorers or API.
Example Flow:
- Registration: An artist inscribes a new work on-chain, establishing authorship and authenticity.
- Certification: A gallery or expert endorses the work, certifying its provenance.
- Ownership Transfer: The work is sold; the new owner is recorded on-chain, maintaining a transparent chain of custody.
- Public Verification: Collectors and buyers verify the work’s authenticity and history before purchase.
DEscriptions make provenance and authenticity accessible, secure, and transparent for the global art and collectibles market.
