SmartStamp Provides Smart Tech for the Art Sector
Swiss tech newcomer SmartStamp sets an impressive new standard in authentication and brand protection for the art world. With technology that is as easy as taking a picture with a mobile, it delivers contactless authentication and ID for artworks — providing security for all stakeholders in the art and collectibles market. It is available as an App and API for both retail and enterprise users.
SmartStamp uses computer vision and AI, secured with eco-friendly blockchain timestamping technology, to create immutable, digital fingerprints of objects of art in order to verify their authenticity. Founded by the prominent art collector and serial entrepreneur Friedrich Kisters and the former New York museum curator and collections specialist Juli Cho Bailer, SmartStamp’s highly experienced team combines over 75 years of experience in fine art management and a team of world-class developers.
SmartStamp was developed specifically for the international art market using blockchain and patented identification and traceability technologies that were developed over 10 years with the cooperation of two German universities for use in the multi-trillion industrial supply chain and the $2 trillion art and collectibles asset class.
With their state-of-the-art technology, protecting artworks for eternity is as simple as taking a picture. No special setup or light conditions are necessary and it is available in both mobile App and also as a purpose-built industrial camera for enterprise clients.
The technology offers the most tamper-proof security available using patented AI that recognizes micro changes in an artwork’s fingerprint and automatically updates it to record a continuum of historical fingerprints over time. It’s also a unique, streamlined service with every digital fingerprint auto written to the blockchain and no need for coins or separate transactions. Enterprise clients can even integrate SmartStamp's API into their collections management systems to roll out to their customers.
SmartStamp is an ESG minded company. Their technology is the leading blockchain timestamping solution, started in research over 10 years ago by early blockchain scientists, to create a lower cost, lower energy consumption model for distributed ledger data security. SmartStamp's technologies are scaled for Industry 4.0 and supported and proven by leading companies and universities in Switzerland, Germany, and Japan. SmartStamp is currently in Beta and will release the retail App in 2021.
