An Introduction to ArtPro: “The Art of Blockchain”Discover more about ArtPro, a tokenized project planning to democratize the art world and bring collectible artworks to the masses.
Welcome to ArtPro, a platform that promises to be many things for many people. Upon its launch, ArtPro will variously be:
● A go-to marketplace for private dealers and contemporary artists
● A system to connect artists and buyers that eliminates intermediaries
● A modern system for valuing, authenticating, and acquiring art
● A solution to the provenance problem that combines blockchain technology with the wisdom of real-world experts
● A means for newcomers to invest in collectible art with minimal entry requirements
● The platform that drags the old-fashioned art world into the 21st century
There’s more — lots more — but that’s enough to be going on with. In the run-up to our token sale, we’ll be delving into each element of the project in detail and explaining the reasoning behind each component.
Essentially, ArtPro aims to become the go-to marketplace for buying and selling art. Whether that’s to hang in your front room or to keep in a secure vault is your prerogative. If it’s the latter, we’ll provide you with the tools to do so, including a turnkey service through one of our fully insured custodial partners. If it’s the former, ditto: we’ll make the process as seamless as possible, including tools such as augmented reality (AR) to help you visualize artworks before you buy them, so you can find the perfect piece for your home.
And, underpinning it all, will be a dual token model that utilizes the attributes for which blockchain technology is renowned: ERC721 non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to represent and track every artwork listed on the ArtPro platform, and as the ArtPro Token APT, an ERC20 token that serves as the native currency and incentivization mechanism within the ArtPro ecosystem, which includes a desktop platform, mobile dApp, and eventually various third party integrations.
