The institutional standard for art provenance

Every artwork
deserves a passport

The first digital registry that cryptographically binds a physical artwork to its provenance record. Patent-pending MIRAS Visual DNA™ technology. Blockchain-anchored. Fraud-proof. Built for institutions.

The first system to cryptographically prove that a digital record belongs to this specific physical artwork.
Not a copy. Not a photograph. This object.

Proof of Physical Existence™ — a four-layer architecture that binds the physical world to immutable digital records.

The Problem

The art world runs on trust.
Not on proof.

Provenance records are scattered across galleries, auction houses, and private archives. Paper certificates can be forged. No system proves that a document belongs to this specific physical object.

Bloomberg exists for finance. DUNS for companies. Nothing exists for art at the same level of institutional rigour.

How It Works

From artwork to passport
in four steps

1

Curator Registers

A credentialed gallery or museum creates the artwork record with provenance data, images, and metadata.

2

Visual DNA Generated

Our computer vision engine scans the physical artwork and generates a unique photographic fingerprint.

3

Blockchain Anchored

The passport hash is anchored on a public blockchain. Immutable, timestamped, independently verifiable by any auditor.

4

Passport Issued

The artwork receives its permanent digital identity. Scannable, shareable, trusted by institutions worldwide.

The Differentiator

Proof of Physical Existence

Three layers of authentication that bind a digital record to a physical object. No other system does this.

Level 1 — MIRAS Visual DNA™

Photographic Fingerprint

A computer vision algorithm generates a unique hash from the artwork's surface texture and brushwork. A copy produces a different hash. Irreplicable.

MANDATORY
Level 2 — NFC Binding

Cryptographic Tag

A tamper-evident NFC chip generates a unique crypto signature on every scan. Remove the tag, the circuit breaks permanently. Impossible to clone.

PREMIUM
Level 3 — Spectral

Scientific Certification

Multispectral imaging and pigment analysis by accredited labs. Results hashed and anchored to blockchain. Physically impossible to replicate.

Financial-grade infrastructure

MIRAS Visual DNA™ Engine

A patent-pending computer vision pipeline combining perceptual hashing (pHash), DINOv2 deep learning, and Gabor texture analysis. Generates an irreplicable 1.5KB photographic fingerprint from the artwork’s physical surface. A copy — even a perfect one — produces a different hash. This is the bridge between the physical and digital worlds.

Patent Pending · Core Technology
1.5 KB Unique fingerprint per artwork
