Many artists today face the problem that their art is copied and distributed without permission. At the same time, intermediaries like galleries and auction houses pocket the lion's share of revenues. Blockchain technology promises remedy here.

A blockchain is essentially a decentralized ledger that records all transactions. Each new entry is added as a "block" and inextricably linked to the previous ones.
This makes the blockchain tamper-proof. There is no central authority, but the network is managed in a decentralized manner by many participants. Anyone can view the entries at any time, but no one can manipulate them retroactively.
For artists this means: The authorship of an artwork can be proven beyond doubt. Digital art can be registered directly on the blockchain as a non-fungible token (NFT). The artist always remains the owner and can determine when a work is resold. This allows them to automatically share in every resale. The blockchain gives back control!
What does this mean for you?
As an artist today, it is difficult to monetize your own digital art and protect it from illegal duplication. This is where Blockunique can help. We specialize in supporting artists like you in publishing and selling digital art as NFTs.
To do this, we use blockchain technology.
Think of a blockchain as a public notebook where transactions and important information are recorded. Each entry is captured in a block and appended to the previous blocks, hence the name.
For your digital art this means: We can write your artwork as an entry in this blockchain. Your authorship is then stored there publicly and permanently. You always remain the owner but can determine when your work may be sold.
The buyer can then see in the blockchain that you as the artist have authorized everything. This makes it clear that it is an original. Even if someone copies your artwork, the original is stored on the blockchain.
Since the blockchain is public, no intermediary is needed anymore between buyer and seller. This makes trading more direct and above all - cheaper. You can also automatically receive your share in the form of royalties whenever the work is resold.
Customers also benefit as the authenticity and provenance of artworks is transparently traceable. The blockchain builds trust in the art market.
As your consultant, we help you make all this possible without technical know-how. We bring your art onto the blockchain and advise you at every step. So you remain the master of your works!
