Open-source physical-to-digital art provenance protocol and marketplace engine. Pairs physical fine art pieces to tamper-evident NFC/QR security tags with on-chain NFT authenticity certificates, immutable provenance tracking, and automated secondary resale royalties for African and global artists.
Empowering emerging African and global fine artists with permanent on-chain provenance, tamper-evident physical authentication, and automated secondary resale royalties.
Ona connects physical art to on-chain provenance while keeping crypto mechanics invisible: 1. Card/fiat checkout via Stripe/Paystack with email-abstracted custodial accounts. 2. ERC-721/FA2 authenticity certificates with ERC-2981 royalty standards. 3. Physical tamper-evident NFC/QR tags paired directly to on-chain tokens. 4. Automated secondary sale royalties routed directly to the artist.
Open protocol standard for art provenance; monetized via primary art sale marketplace commission (5-8%), NFC verification tag packages for galleries, and enterprise authentication tooling for auction houses.
Phase 1: Artist research, UX architecture, and open NFC/ERC-721 contract standards. Phase 2: Card checkout integration and testnet prototype. Phase 3: Mainnet pilot with 20 emerging artists and physical gallery partners.
