ArtChain.info
How It Works
ArtChain.info uses the Bitcoin Blockchain to authenticate art by proving chain-of-ownership. The Bitcoin Blockchain is a database that cannot be modified and therefore can be used to generate digital certificates of authenticity that cannot be forged. ArtChain.info does not charge any fees to register an art piece. A digital certificate is transferred to a collector by simply executing a bitcoin transaction. No information is stored or even known about collectors other than their anonymous bitcoin address displayed in the chain of ownership. Collectors remain completely anonymous while proving their art piece is authentic. We generate a certificate of authenticity for each art piece registered which is emailed to the artist to provide to the collector. The collector may transfer the registration to a new buyer by using the "transfer key" to transfer 100% of the bitcoin stored in the registration address to the buyer's address.
