ORIGYN Art is a certification platform tailored for the fine art community. We empower the art world to safeguard its inventory and archive documentation of factual and reputable sources associated with the items in a secure, transparent and decentralized environment.
Our goal is to become the world’s most trusted repository of fine art NFTs on the blockchain. We enable art owners to mint on our platform and generate a digital certificate of their physical artworks. The certificates attest to the existence of the artworks and are irrefutably linked to them on the blockchain.
The minting process is validated by our Nodes (art experts) who attest to the veracity of the artwork and its related documentation to provide enhanced transparency and credibility through the ORIGYN Art digital certificate.
We believe truth can be certified, and we enable galleries, artists and collectors to ensure the authenticity and provenance of their treasured art assets via a digital twin. By tokenizing highly desirable physical works of art as NFT certificates, stakeholders may also opt to join Impossible Things, the ORIGYN-powered marketplace, where artworks can be bought and sold and where co-ownership becomes a reality.
ORIGYN Art is formed and governed by some of the most influential participants in the global art market—from major galleries and art dealers to fairs, collectors and auction houses—who each control and operate as a governance “Node.”
Node status allows select participants to work alongside ORIGYN Foundation by minting certificates and serving as the gatekeepers of authentication. Nodes also receive voting power to help determine the future of the ORIGYN Art vertical, and may operate marketplaces where art pieces are bought and sold (e.g., Impossible Things powered by ORIGYN).
ORIGYN runs on the Internet Computer (IC), developed by the DFINITY Foundation. The IC is a revolutionary, decentralized global compute platform we leverage to mint, maintain and transfer digital twins. Advanced cryptography and decentralized technology make the protocol tamper-proof and efficiently scalable. Built upon the foundation of the IC’s superior technology, ORIGYN Art aims to become the most secure, accessible and fair art ecosystem ever created.
