Permanent record of truth
The work speaks.
The record endures
For the collector who acquires with conviction. The gallery that stakes its reputation on every work it shows. The advisor whose judgement is only as good as the provenance behind it. The artist whose name should travel with every piece, through every hand, indefinitely.

The market's greatest vulnerability is also its most preventable one.
The art market runs on trust.
Trust has always been fragile.
Paper certificates separate from the work. They are forged, lost, and disputed. Expert opinion shifts with time. Provenance gaps — even innocent ones — erode value, invite challenge, and destroy relationships.
Genuine art is not replaceable and paper is not good enough. The collector deserves an undisputable record, not documentation. The advisor recommending a placement deserves the certainty that their judgement is beyond challenge. The gallery whose name is on the work deserves a record that outlasts the relationship.
One tag. One permanent truth — attached to the work itself and connected to the blockchain forever and cannot be destroyed leaving uncertainly.
The same truth. Different stakes
Whether you collect, advise, exhibit, appraise or create — what Authentical protects is the thing that makes the work worth what it is: its integrity, its story, and the trust that story makes possible.
For Collectors and Family Officers
You are acquiring or represent works of significance. The record attached to those works — or absent from them — determines their value at every future point of sale or ownership transfer. Authentical creates that truth at the moment of acquisition and maintains it through every subsequent transfer, indefinitely.
For Art advisors, Appraisers and insurance providers
You advise clients on works worth significant sums. If a placement proves to be misattributed — that is not only their exposure. It is yours. Every recommendation you make carries your name. Authentical ensures that name is backed by proof forever.
For Artist
Your name should follow your work into every collection, every resale, and the hands of people you will never meet. Authentical attaches your identity — your story, your materials, your intent and enables ongoing royalties — to every piece, permanently, from the moment it leaves your studio - to pertuity
Simple to establish.
Impossible to undo.
No blockchain wallet. No technical knowledge. Nothing to download. Authentical works with the device everyone already carries — a smartphone. The entire process, from tagging to permanent record, takes minutes. Then a simple Tap and you'll know everything you need to about that piece.
Tag the work
A discreet, tamper-proof NFC tag is affixed to the artwork — or to its frame or backing. Physically bonded. It cannot be transferred to another work, cloned, or replicated.
Write the truth
Artist, title, medium, dimensions, and ownership are written permanently to the blockchain. Immutable from that moment — no party, including Authentical, can alter or erase it.
Verify anywhere
Any smartphone tap reveals the complete truth — origin, full ownership history, current status. No login. No friction. No app to download. Instant, anywhere in the world.
Truth travels with the work
Every transfer updates the record. Each owner inherits an unbroken chain of custody — the complete story of the work, intact, indefinitely, for every future hand it passes through.
