Artstock

Artstock will revolutionize the art market by tokenizing physical art: a more transparent and secure way to buy and sell art. Artstock makes possible the tracking of provenance and authenticity of art pieces through curators, therefore making it easier to verify the authenticity of art pieces. Artstock also features a secondary market for art pieces, allowing for the trading of art pieces in a secure and transparent manner.

Artstock also features a secondary market for art, allowing for the trading of art pieces in a secure and transparent manner. The physical items have to be held by a guardian in order to go through careful curation, before they can be traded on our market using an escrow smart contract. The token can be redeemed for physical delivery at any time.

Tech stack: Build on the Rootstock blockchain to get the security and liquidity of Bitcoin, while having the smart contract possibilities of an EVM. This worked pretty good due to EVM-compatibility, while deploying faced outages from RPC and explorers. Login (both web2 and web3) are powered by Dynamic to make the user experience easy for non-crypto users (at least the curators and guardians) and screen for sanctioned wallets when paying.
