What We Do: Step-by-Step Process to Securely Link Art to NFTs
We provide a simple, guided process to ensure your physical artwork is securely linked to a digital NFT representation, offering buyers confidence in provenance, ownership, and authenticity. Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Decide on Storage and Custody Options
We’ll outline the pros and cons of each approach and tailor the solution to your needs.
We’ll help you decide whether your art should be physically stored (custody-held) or if it will remain redeemable under specific terms.
Why it matters: Custody-held art tends to add more validity for buyers, particularly for high-value pieces, but redemption offers greater flexibility.
Step 2: Create a Digital Likeness of Your Artwork
- We work with you to produce a high-quality digital representation of your physical art.
- This can be a photograph, digital scan, or artistic rendering that will be used as the visual anchor of the NFT.
- The goal is to ensure the digital likeness accurately reflects the physical piece.
Step 3: Link the Physical Artwork to the NFT via a Smart Contract
This permanent record ensures that future buyers can verify the NFT’s connection to the physical artwork, creating trust and transparency.
The NFT is created on the blockchain, with provenance, ownership history, and key details embedded in the smart contract.
Step 4: Add Digital Tracking and Certification Protocols (Optional)
These protocols ensure that the artwork remains secure and traceable, providing an extra layer of confidence for collectors and investors.
For additional security, we offer digital tracking and certification protocols that help verify the location, condition, and custody of your artwork over time.
Step 5: Finalize Terms for Redemption or Custody
These terms will be clearly stated in the smart contract for all parties to see.
Once the NFT is linked, we help you decide the terms for ownership transfer, including:
Redemption options: Allow buyers to redeem the NFT for the physical artwork under agreed conditions.
Custody options: Keep the artwork securely stored while the NFT changes hands digitally.
Step 6: Launch Your NFT
- With the NFT created and securely linked, you’re ready to launch your NFT on a marketplace or private platform of your choice.
- We guide you through listing options, pricing strategies, and how to maximize exposure for your NFT offering.
