HOW IT WORKS
When a piece of art is ready to be digitally linked & uploaded on the platform, follow these steps:
1. Visit an Art Lock
authentication office equipped
with an Art Lock Kiosk.
2. At the office, Art Lock will document the artwork by capturing
images of the item and the event. Additionally, a unique
identifier, similar to an RFID tag, is assigned to your artwork.
3. Art Lock gathers essential information:
This process ensures the highest level of protection for your valuable artwork.
NEW ART
-
A tamper-proof unique identifier is attached to the piece and scanned at an Art Lock kiosk located at a studio or art gallery
-
Biometrics of the artist, the location of the kiosk, and the time are all recorded on the immutable ledger, along with any other pertinent information
-
The resulting digital token is immutably stored in the buyer’s digital wallet
-
If the buyer decides to sell, a portion of the profits go to the artist and art gallery
EXISTING ART

The piece and its provenance are assessed by an authenticator

If it is found to be genuine, a tamper-proof unique identifier is attached to the piece and scanned at an Art Lock floating or stationary kiosks located at a gallery or auction house
-
Biometrics of the authenticator, the location of the kiosk, and the time are all recorded on the immutable ledger, along with the provenance and any other pertinent information
-
The resulting digital token is immutably stored in the buyer’s digital wallet
-
If the buyer decides to sell, a portion of the profits go to the authenticator, auction house, and any other appropriate parties
