Why should I be concerned about counterfeiting?
Counterfeiting is a growing problem in the art world, costing artists millions in lost revenue and damaging reputations. When someone copies or sells fake versions of your work, it undermines your credibility and the value of your creations. Revelbloom’s technology ensures that your art remains uniquely tied to you, making it impossible for counterfeiters to replicate or profit from your creations.
How does Revelbloom’s protection system work?
Our system uses NFC tags and digital product passports to ensure your artwork’s authenticity.
- When you register your artwork on our platform, it receives a unique digital product passport.
- This passport is linked to a physical NFC tag, which you can attach to your artwork.
- The NFC tag provides buyers with instant access to the artwork’s authenticity and ownership history when scanned.
This combination ensures that your artwork remains protected and verifiable at every stage of its lifecycle.
How do I register my artwork on Revelbloom?
We’re not done building our platform yet, so please sign up or pre-order our tags. Until then, we appreciate your contribution. Here is an idea how easy it works.
- Create an account on our platform.
- Upload detailed information about your artwork, such as the title, medium, size, and description.
- Attach an NFC tag to the physical piece of art.
- Once registered, your artwork will receive a digital product passport, ensuring its protection and authenticity.
Can buyers trust my artwork’s authenticity?
Absolutely! Revelbloom’s digital product passport provides buyers with a transparent record of your artwork’s history, including the original creator and all previous ownership transfers. This transparency builds trust with buyers, encouraging more confident purchases.
Can I sell my art directly on Revelbloom?
Yes! Our platform includes a fully integrated marketplace where you can list your artwork for sale. Once you’re satisfied with your seller profile, you can push your registered artwork directly to the marketplace and start selling. Buyers can view your portfolio, purchase your work, and transfer ownership securely through the platform. However, you do not have to sell through our platform!
What happens if my artwork gets resold?
If your artwork is resold, the transfer of ownership is automatically updated in the digital product passport and you also receive the money for the resale royalty (Folgerechtsabgabe). This ensures that every transaction is recorded, giving you and future buyers a complete history of the piece.
What is an NFC tag, and how does it work?
An NFC (Near Field Communication) tag is a small, tamper-proof chip that stores and transmits data wirelessly. When attached to your artwork, the NFC tag allows buyers, collectors, and gallery owners to instantly verify its authenticity and ownership history by simply scanning it with their smartphone. You or your art is not GPS tracked.
What does Revelbloom do to prevent fraud?
We take several measures to ensure a fraud-free environment:
- All users are verified through a secure identity check before they can buy or sell on the platform.
- Each piece of artwork is registered with a unique digital product passport, making counterfeiting impossible.
- Our escrow service holds funds until the buyer confirms receipt of the artwork, ensuring fairness for both parties.
