4ARTechnology - a decentralized platform for transparency, security and processing efficiency in the art world

What Is 4ARTechnologies?

4ARTechnologies is a decentralized platform offering cataloging and transactional services with the aim of improving transparency, security, and processing efficiency in the art world. The platform will combine blockchain technology with augmented authentication technology in efforts to solve some of the most pressing challenges in the art world such as the lack of a comprehensive method of authenticating and verifying artwork.
Some of the essential services that 4ART will provide to its users include:
Fingerprinting service, Data storage service for the artworks transaction history, Certification issuance for validating and documenting transactions around an image, Transaction verification service, and Art Cataloging for museums and galleries.

4 Key Technology Features

Eliminating art fraud problems After the “fingerprint” artwork is captured, all that is needed to authenticate the artwork is another quick scan using the mobile application. Because this fingerprint – along with all other important information about history and origins – is stored on the blockchain, it is tamper-proof.

Creating transparency without costs for privacy Industry has long refused to create a centralized database because of privacy issues for investors and owners of artwork, and the lack of practical technical solutions.
Bringing new efficiency to the conditions and recovery of reporting conditions is part of almost every transaction in the art market, from insurance to logistics to sales – at least in theory. With the 4ART mobile app, both condition and recovery reports are bound to be minutes to a fraction of the set cost.

Making portfolio management easier than ever before the 4ART platform as a service helps users maintain all ownership certifications, loans, recovery, transportation, and insurance protection related to artwork – for owners of individual pieces and galleries and museums with large portfolios.

Empower artists to produce from reselling their work. Like other intellectual property holders (such as writers or musicians), they also have the right to get royalties from their work.

Market Potential While art has long been a valuable asset for investors who want to diversify their portfolios, the latest figures in the art market published by Art Basel and UBS in their report on “The Art Market 2018” reveal the true potential of life and market growth. After growing by 12% since 2016, the annual market turnover in 2017 amounted to $ 63.7 billion, broken down into 39 million individual transactions – the highest number of transactions since 2008. The fact that the number of transactions grew by only 8% indicates that the average value of traded art.

Art is culture and this part of our identity, but art is also passion, a good commercial and object of desire, investment and currency. Art is so much and yet something different for everyone – only one thing we all have in common is the desire to protect this asset and its values. Therefore, 4ART is building the new art world on the blockchain, with smart contracts and DNA fingerprints, but the heart of this new world is still based on transactions. The 4ART App uses groundbreaking vector technology and layer photography to record the molecular structure of an artwork with any smartphone.

DNA birth certificate is created for every piece and is immutably recorded on the blockchain.
With the 4ART App, vital artwork data will be permanently recorded, including:

When a piece was created
Who created it
Who sold it
Who bought it
Where the artwork is now

As transactions occur, a secure digital passport will be created through smart contracts stored on the blockchain. For every transaction, there will be a transparent, traceable, inexpensive, and secure record.
