Welcome, indeed, to The Fine Art Ledger, the blockchain-powered ledger for Fine Art.

A Distributed Ledger for Fine Art Collections

We are building the distributed ledger for Fine Art, giving you the ability to track title and provenance of your Fine Art collection, and so much more.

Blockchain Technology and the Future of the Fine Art Market

Blockchain technology is truly a game-changer for the Fine Art Markets. It opens the door to a range of possibilities — including securing fine art through asset-based blockchain applications and NFC technology.

Verifiable Ownership, Title, and Provenance Through Blockchain

Think of a universally verifiable record of who owns and who has owned a piece of Fine Art. No more authenticity or title concerns. We take a work of Fine Art and cryptographically fingerprint it to our selected blockchain platform. Once entered, it immutably ties your ownership to that piece of Fine Art. An electronic record of provenance that can be absolutely relied upon by you, buyers, and Fine Art lenders.

As we redefine provenance and ownership through blockchain, it’s worth reflecting on how artistic transformation and copyright have shaped legacy, as seen in the Warhol vs. Goldsmith case, where appropriation and originality collided in the fine art world.

Immutable Registration and Secure Title Transfer

The entry to this verified ledger, or, as we call it, blockchain, is unchangeable. Now, just a a piece of real estate is registered in the county recorder or other deed registrar's land register, so too is your work of Fine Art registered. Unchangeable, of course, until you decide to sell the piece. And just like a piece of real estate, when you decide to sell, your Fine Art Buyer will have the comfort of knowing that your title to the work is true and authenticated. Once your buyer takes title through our super-easy title transfer application, she receives a fresh certificate of authenticity, now clearly showing your historical title in the work. Provenance is that easy.

Supporting All Fine Art Mediums and Emerging Digital Formats

And we mean all works of Fine Art. The Fine Art Ledger will be the distributed ledger for Fine Art, whether multiples, originals, photography, print, or film. You name it. And we are experimenting with a new format: limited edition digital prints. But more about that later...
