Guide to Filling in the Fields: Card Editor
Creating an Artwork Card
The Artwork Card is the digital documentation of an artwork registered on Veralinx.art. Each card contains detailed information about the artwork, images, provenance records, and authentication details. Registering an Artwork Card is a key step in protecting the artwork and safeguarding the artist’s intellectual property.
Important Notes:
The information entered in the Artwork Card will be used to create the immutable record of the artwork.
Once validated, the card will be stored on the Veralinx server and recorded on the Algorand blockchain.
After validation, the user can download the card and access the blockchain transaction link.
