Soon to be the norm,
infrastructure for art.
What if a new technology could proceed transaction systems that have been established over the course of the long history of art and update them to the present day?
Startrail is a network which makes possible the distribution and appraisal of artworks through a more open management of their certificates and provenance.
This is a new art infrastructure which not only protects the credibility of artworks and artists but also passes on a cultural legacy to future generations and fosters its deep understanding.
We aim to create a culturally more matured world. Let’s begin a new renaissance together.
Blockchain is the key to giving an artwork digital certification and provenance.
An owner of the artwork can utilize multiple functions including proving its ownership and recording its provenance by issuing a NFT of the artwork on the Startrail.
