Using blockchain to verify a million dollars worth of art.
Franky Aguilar is a practicing artist and has been working in the tech industry for the past 15 years, now living and working Las Vagas. Franky has recently opened a new gallery / studio where he is producing and selling physical artworks.
“I have always been fascinated with the combining of physical and digital art concepts. And this time, I think I’ve stumbled onto something very compelling.”
— Said Franky
KnownOrigin is an artists-focused platform built on the ethereum blockchain that makes it easy for artists to authenticate, showcase and sell the digital artwork.
After launching in early 2018 KnownOrigin has now established a strong position in the nft (non-fungible token) space and is one of the most respected blockchain gallery platforms.
This partnership will allow franky to send a ‘‘Certificates of authentication’ that is fully back by blockchain technology to anyone that buys one of his physical artworks. This new approach will mean that the provenience, authenticity and proof of ownership is indisputable.
The creation of the nft (non-fungible token) certificate can only be done by the artists via KnownOrigin platform. This process creates a unique TX Hash number that Franky will then manually write this number onto the physical canvas which directly links this body of work to the Certificates of authentication, much like an artist signature.
