Artworks will go on sale on February 14, 2022(preview at Davos from January 17 to 21, 2022).
Responding to the needs of buyers and sellers of high-value goods, the WISe.Art platform is developing into a fully-fledged vetted marketplace with its own digital currency, with the ability to include curators and multipliers, white-labeling options and custom-made NFT design. The NFT design of the WISe.Art platform ensures that besides an authenticated and signed version of the actual digital asset, an irreversible link to a physical object is set up, in addition to proof of ownership, provenance and a set of contracts describing future use and monetization streams, if relevant.
WHAT WE DO AND WHO WE ARE:
The NFT tokenization uses the WISeKey registered patent application, “System and Method for Providing Persistent Authenticatable NFT” in the USA. With this method, NFTs have increased in value and will hold their long-term value.
NFTs and the platform are secured by WISeKey’s own security technology enabling the protection of physical objects as well as digital assets in a safe end-to-end process.
Smart contracts and physical contracts can be included in the NFTs to describe the usage rights of the NFT buyer, including monetization of their collection. It also allows the original creator to potentially participate in future royalties. This option opens new funding opportunities for artists with large collections, as well as better appreciation for their work.
