Impact Lives
Own Authentic's innovative Digital Provenance stamps out fakes and creates trust between creators and collectors.
At the core of the solution is our proprietary NFC tag that the artist affixes to the artwork.
We invite you to sponsor a pack of 10 or more NFC tags to Indigenous artists.
Why it matters:
The Indigenous art world has lost an estimated $500 million to AUD 1.2 billion in value to forgery and exploitation. Every counterfeit work not only steals from artists but also endangers their cultural legacy.
Your support helps Indigenous artists protect their truth and secure their rightful place in history.
How It Works:
Sponsor as many artworks as you wish. NFC tags are available in packs of 15 at AUS $150 per pack.
Each tag sponsors the lifelong authentication and provenance of a single indigenous artwork.
1. NFC Tag
A secure, tamper-proof NFC tag that links the artist to their artwork.
Tags will be shipped directly to the Indigenous sector or program of your choice.
2. Digital Authentication (Blockchain Record)
Each artwork is permanently registered on the blockchain, creating an unalterable digital proof of authenticity linked to the artist.
3. Ownership Registration
Ownership details are recorded and updated over the life of the artwork, providing a trusted lineage of owners.
