WISe.Art platform. Our WISe.Art NFT platform is a fully fledged
marketplace with its own digital currency, has the ability to
include curators and multipliers, while-labeling options and
special NFT designs. The NFT design of
the WISe.Art platform ensures that besides an
authenticated and signed version of the actual digital asset, it
creates an irreversible link to the physical object, provides proof
of ownership, provenance and a set of contracts describing future
use and monetization streams. The NFT platform secured
by WISeKey’s various security technologies, enables the
authentication of physical objects as well as digital assets, in a
safe end-to-end process. Furthermore, NFTs on
the WISe.Art platform are fully carbon neutral to comply
with upcoming ESG regulations and the desire of most collectors to
protect the planet.”
