First Blockchain and AI Authenticated Edition Prints Thanks to Swiss Tech.
We welcome SmartStamp into our select portfolio of clients. SmartStamp uses computer vision and eco-friendly blockchain timestamping technologies to create invisible, immutable fingerprints for the $2 trillion art and collectibles markets. The Swiss tech newcomer recently teamed up with artist Gordon Cheung to create the world’s first Print 4.0 — blockchain and Ai authenticated, uniquely identifiable limited edition prints.
SmartStamp was the proud technology sponsor for internationally acclaimed artist Gordon Cheung’s debut exhibition in Los Angeles, Transfer of Power — presented by Coates and Scarry and the International Chinese Fine Arts Council, recently on view at C-Project.

What is a Print 4.0? Using SmartStamp’s patented computer vision with integrated blockchain, Cheung can now offer the world’s first physical-to-digital, blockchain and AI authenticated, uniquely identifiable fingerprints for his multiples that can be included as part of the artist’s Certificate of Authenticity issued to collectors of the portfolio. Created as a special project in advance of the SmartStamp App being released later this year, the SmartStamp tech team is saving the files for Cheung’s account. The same proprietary technology was also used to create the world’s first postage Stamp 4.0 for SmartStamp’s sister company’s partnership with Post Lichtenstein, who will release 45,000 uniquely identifiable stamps on September 6, 2021.
