As a reliable provider of digital art, at Blockunique we place the utmost importance on a rigorous review process before minting any artwork as an NFT. Let me explain step-by-step how we go about it:
In an initial examination, we scrutinize the digital work itself with an eagle eye. We employ intelligent image recognition software, which verifies the uniqueness of the artwork. For this purpose, the software searches an enormous database containing millions of images for potential duplicates or even just very similar motifs. Should any matches appear, the image is earmarked for further inspection.
Additionally, we conduct extensive reverse image searches to rule out that parts of the artwork were copied without permission from external sources. This is an essential step to identify plagiarism in a timely manner.
Our AI algorithms are also trained to specifically scan for copyright infringements. They compare the image against millions of entries and raise an alarm if even the slightest similarities to protected works occur. In such a case, our lawyers are engaged immediately to definitively clarify the legal situation.
Classical image searches on Google, Bing and other search engines are also part of our standard review. We examine the results very closely to definitively exclude any inconsistencies regarding the uniqueness of the artwork. Absolute originality is our top priority.
Should we have even the slightest doubts about complete authorship, we necessarily follow up. In such cases, we maintain close contact with the artist to clarify any open questions. Only when we have verified authenticity and originality beyond doubt does it move to the next stage.
Next is the detailed research on the artist themselves. We review resumes, career paths and all available information about them. It is important to us to see their work in context and understand it. For this purpose, we also examine their previous works, exhibitions, awards, etc.
We also scrutinize the artist's environment, researching their teachers, supporters, fellow students, colleagues and more. This reveals a lot about style, development and significance. The goal is to be able to comprehensively classify and categorize the artwork.
Based on these findings, we engage in an intensive dialogue with the artist to define the optimal meta attributes for the NFT. We clarify questions such as: Which creative phase does the work stem from? Which style does it represent? What themes and motifs does the artist explore? All this flows into the extensive description of the NFT.
This creates a kind of "digital fingerprint" that makes the NFT unmistakable. Through meticulous curation we generate real added value for buyers. They receive not just a digital replica, but a comprehensively researched and classified unique item.
Finally, our lawyers conduct the legal review. They ensure that publishing the NFT is 100% watertight legally. This rules out false information or copyright infringements.
As you can see, we take the review process very seriously. Only through this extensive examination can it be ensured that every NFT from Blockunique is truly an original that meets the highest quality standards. This builds trust and security for both artists and buyers. I hope I was able to give you a good insight into our work process.
