Register
— every hand that held it, recorded.

An append-only ownership log on Base L2. What the owner claims, what the artist confirms, what the data shows — transparently stacked.

On this page

The art market still runs on paper receipts and verbal assurance. We replace that with a Log — a chain-of-custody record that travels with the work. We register what is claimed; we do not declare what is real. Authenticity is evidence, not a stamp we hand out.

  1. 01

    The Log

    Append-only entry per work on Base L2. Owner, appraisal history, transfers, visual fingerprint. Open for anyone to read, anchored so it cannot be silently rewritten.

  2. 02

    Evidence layers, not authority

    Every Log shows what supports it: self-claim, fingerprint, uploaded provenance, artist confirmation, primary-sale origin. The buyer decides how much trust each layer is worth.

  3. 03

    Artist confirmation when offered

    If the artist opts in, their signature is added as its own layer — strongest signal, but never a requirement. An unconfirmed Log still exists, clearly labelled.

  4. 04

    Automated droit de suite

    Built-in resale royalty flow on confirmed Logs. Honours what EU law already says but rarely enforces.

  5. 05

    Privacy-first design

    Record on-chain, personal data off-chain. GDPR-native.
