DIGITAL TWIN

Once our governance approves a physical work of art to be added to the ORIGYN protocol, it is then tokenized as a digital twin—a solitary, tamperproof duplicate of the authenticated physical object. ORIGYN creates this digital twin, which serves as a permanent certificate of authenticity. This becomes the starting point for owners to divide the digital twin into unique NFTs before placing their highly desirable works of art for sale on an open market. It is also the basis for buyers to confirm the authenticity of these select works.

CO-OWNERSHIP

The NFT can be split into pieces, all individual and unique NFTs of their own, for sale digitally. Initial owners of a physical art piece determine the percentage of the artwork they would like to sell, offering instant access to a new dimension in art acquisition and ownership. Buyers can purchase one or multiple NFTs from an array of artworks—all of which can be resold at any time to other collectors. Because each artwork is divided into pieces, every collector acts as a co-owner.

STORAGE & SALE

Physical artworks are stored in a highly secure vault in Switzerland while their digital twins are made available by ORIGYN. When the individual pieces are sold, buyers receive their share of the digital work in their portfolio, and owners receive their pro-rata proceeds after fees. Based on its technology, ORIGYN aims to allow any third party to make offers to purchase the physical artwork at any time, as well as enable buyers to vote for an exit price, making decisions in a democratic way.
