This is the repository for Future of Blockchain hackathon project and Imperial College London 3rd Year Group Project. As such it is not audited and needs some refactoring before being ready for production.
ARRtistry provides a distributed registry that art market professionals can embrace -- they no longer have to trust one central entity with their data. Our system automatically builds public, tamper-evident, tamper-resistant provenance trails using Ethereum smart contracts, Arweave Deploy for the React UI, and arweave.js for metadata.
Under ARRtistry:
- Forgeries can be detected and traced.
- Collectors are guaranteed to have the value of their piece preserved via the provenance trail.
- Art market professionals have less paperwork and can signal reputability.
- Regulators have a market they can finally collect data on.
- Artists are paid more money, more often.
Contributing to ARRtistry is fairly easy.
This document shows you how to get the project, run all provided tests and generate a production ready build.
