The process
A museum-grade workflow, streamlined.
Four phases take a work from studio to public passport. Each one is auditable, reversible and documented — built to outlast galleries, platforms and trends.
- Phase 01
Studio intake
Artist or gallery submits the work — high-resolution images, medium, dimensions, edition, story. Our archivists review and normalise the record.
- — Artwork Passport draft
- — Condition report
- — Edition register
Deliverables
- Phase 02
Chip bonding
An NFC tag, tamper-evident QR or embedded RFID chip is bonded to the physical work in a non-destructive location (stretcher bar, panel reverse, base).
- — NFC / QR / RFID hardware
- — Bonding photo log
- — Tamper seal
Deliverables
- Phase 03
Certificate issuance
We hash the artwork metadata, sign the certificate, and optionally anchor it on-chain. The certificate is bound to both the chip and the passport.
- — Signed COA (PDF + JSON)
- — Optional on-chain anchor
- — Soulbound certificate token
Deliverables
- Phase 04
Public verification
Anyone can scan the tag with a phone — no app, no account — to view the passport, certificate, provenance and ownership chain.
- — Public passport URL
- — Verification page
- — Provenance ledger
