Provenance you can prove, value you can defend.
QR + NFCDPP
The challenge
Forgeries, swapped works and falsified provenance documents distort the art and collectibles market, where authenticity rests on paper certificates and signatures that are easy to copy or lose. Resale and consignment chains pass an object through galleries, fairs, auction houses and private hands, and each transfer is an opening for substitution or a fabricated history. Buyers pay premiums on attribution and condition, so an unverifiable chain of custody erodes price and trust.
The SealTrust answer
SealTrust binds each work or collectible to a unique cryptographic identity and anchors its certificate of authenticity, attribution and provenance on-chain, so the record cannot be altered or duplicated. Every transfer of ownership, exhibition and condition report is appended to a verifiable lifecycle that a buyer scans in seconds. The result is a tamper-evident digital identity that travels with the object across galleries, auctions and resale.
What you get
1
Immutable, scan-verifiable proof of authenticity and provenance
2
Full chain-of-custody tracking through resale and consignment
3
Tamper-evident identity that protects price and collector trust
QR or NFC for this vertical
Recommended method: QR + NFC
NFC is recommended: cryptographic NTAG tags offer tamper-evidence and discreet placement suited to high-value, one-of-a-kind works; pair with a QR code where an open, no-app check is preferred.
Where it goes on the product
Tag applied discreetly to the frame backing, sculpture base, mount or a tamper-evident seal on the protective case or certificate.
The Digital Product Passport for this vertical
A SealTrust identity doubles as a Digital Product Passport, carrying provenance, materials, restoration history and ownership records in a structured, durable format aligned with EU ESPR principles. For high-value and limited-edition pieces this gives collectors and institutions a single, verifiable source of truth across the object's lifetime.
