Anonymous Ownership Verification
-
Ownership Updates without Intermediaries
-
Trade Securely with Cryptocurrency
No longer an option
A signature recorded on the artwork alone cannot solve the problems of unknown artists, uncertain provenance, and ambiguous ownership as time passes. Certificates and serial numbers cannot permanently guarantee the value of special editions or products. By registering the details of your artwork or special product on a blockchain smart contract, you can permanently authenticate its origin and ownership, and even trade it globally with cryptocurrency.
Artists
Artists can permanently authenticate the origin of their work and ensure its authenticity by registering it on a blockchain smart contract.
Creators and Producers
Producers can enhance the value of their products or editions by registering them on the blockchain to permanently guarantee their uniqueness and originality.
Collectors
Collectors can record ownership and provenance on the blockchain to permanently document the value of their artworks and prepare for future transactions.
Make Your Artwork More Special!
Is your artwork unique? Then it should be safely and permanently authenticated and guaranteed for as long as it exists.
The artist and provenance of collected artwork are recorded on the blockchain, not on a specific server, ensuring that the registered information is unchangeable once saved.
Is It Really This Easy and Affordable?
Even without prior knowledge of cryptocurrency wallets or blockchain, you can register your artwork information on a blockchain smart contract in just 1 minute. The cost for registering a single artwork is only US$0.25. Once registered, there are no additional costs for maintaining the information or authentication.
By registering on a blockchain smart contract, your artwork gains eternal value and opens up limitless possibilities across the world.
It’s Easy to Use!
Just as vehicles are authenticated by their number or license plate, artworks and editions can be permanently traced and authenticated with a unique number assigned during blockchain registration.
Receive Your Unique Number
When registering artwork information, including the artist’s name and ownership details such as an email address, which ensures anonymity, a unique numeric identifier is issued.
Record the Number on Your Artwork
Record the unique number on the back of the artwork or a hidden place where it won’t be erased. Attaching a QR code with the verification address is even more convenient.
Verify with the Unique Number
Scan the attached QR code or enter the unique number on a website that connects to the Polygon blockchain to access registered artwork and ownership information anytime, anywhere.
Trusted Technology and Leading Trends!
Concerned about reliability? Don’t be! Your artwork is registered on the Polygon blockchain network, built on Ethereum. Leading global brands like Disney, Starbucks, Adidas, Prada, and MasterCard are already leveraging blockchain technology through Polygon, expanding its influence in the global market. Even government agencies in some countries utilize the Polygon network for blockchain solutions.

Anonymity for Collectors Guaranteed!
Just as we use ID numbers for personal identification in everyday life, blockchain networks use cryptocurrency wallet addresses for user identification. Wallet addresses are strictly anonymous.
Don’t have a cryptocurrency wallet? No problem. We can register the artwork for you, and once you have a wallet, you can easily update ownership information after verifying your identity with the registered email address.

Understanding blockchain and smart contracts made simple!
Blockchain is Permanent and Immutable!
Vehicle registration information is managed by government systems. However, blockchain is managed through a network connected by blocks on distributed computers around the world. This makes stored information secure from hacking, independent of a single manager or system, and impossible to alter, ensuring it is safe and permanent. This is known as decentralization.
Smart Contracts Are Electronic Contracts on the Blockchain.
Smart contracts are small programs deployed on blockchain networks. They function as intelligent electronic contracts that can store or modify data and handle processes like cryptocurrency payments and transfers based on predefined rules. Registering artwork means submitting information according to the rules of the deployed smart contract and utilizing its built-in features.
Our Smart Contracts Are Different from NFTs.
Both processes use blockchain and smart contract technology, but registering artwork in a smart contract means storing details like provenance and ownership on the blockchain. NFTs (non-fungible tokens) go a step further, converting artwork into a tradable digital asset, storing ownership and transaction history for digital art.
Our Smart Contracts Are Registered on the Polygon Blockchain.
There are many types of blockchain networks globally, but not all support smart contract functionality. Artkery’s smart contracts are hosted on Polygon, a subnetwork of Ethereum. Polygon offers smart contract capabilities with lower fees (gas fees) and a widely distributed network for fast, reliable service. Learn more about Polygon by clicking here.

Be Sure to Register Your Artwork!
Even if ownership changes, the original creator information stored at the time of smart contract registration remains unchanged. Thus, information registered by the creator on the blockchain can be used to verify the authenticity of the artwork. Creators are in the best position to register their artwork accurately on the blockchain. Make sure to register your completed work on the smart contract before selling it.
Artkery provides various services to support creators, including creating digital artbooks, selling custom on-demand editions, and trading original artwork using cryptocurrency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are some of the basic types of questions for our customers
The ArtworkRegistry smart contract developed by Artkery records essential data for each artwork, including the title, the artist's wallet address, the artist's name (or nickname), email, creation date, the owner's wallet address, and the owner's email, along with transaction-related information. While it includes personal information such as the emails of the artist and owner, this is crucial for the processes of ownership transfer and authentication. The smart contract ensures that this data is securely handled only for the purposes of registration, verification, sale, and transfer of the artwork, aligning with the inherent security features of blockchain. Additionally, blockchain technology prevents the massive data breaches from hacker attacks, further enhancing the security of the stored information.
Absolutely. One of the benefits of blockchain is that all information is stored on a decentralized blockchain network. Even if Artkery ceases its services, you can still access and update your artwork details through the Polygon website or other platforms connected to the blockchain. This ensures that you can verify the provenance and ownership of your artwork forever, independent of any single service.
Yes! Once your artwork is registered on the smart contract, you can easily sell or purchase it using cryptocurrency. The smart contract developed and deployed by Artkery securely processes transactions directly between parties without the need for third-party intervention, protecting both buyer and seller during the transaction.
Losing access to your wallet can make it difficult to recover your assets, so it’s important to securely store your wallet’s recovery phrase. However, the smart contract built by Artkery is designed to store the artist’s and owner’s email information, allowing you to securely update ownership information on the blockchain through email verification on our platform or any platform that utilizes Artkery’s smart contract.
