Link Artwork-Artist
Veralinx [VL] has developed an advanced platform, built on an architecture that combines the best digital technologies.
Thanks to this innovative architecture, through the [VL] domain, the web app, the blockchain, and the NFC Tag (Near Field Communication) applied to the artwork and the COA (Certificate of Authenticity), each artwork is assigned a protected, non-replicable digital identity. The artwork-artist link is therefore established in an immutable and enduring way. This architecture helps protect the authorship of the artwork and the artist’s intellectual property by providing a reliable digital reference, useful in countering copies, misappropriation of images and content.
Registration
The authentication process is carried out through the creation and registration of a digital Artwork Card, compiled and signed with a private key by the editor (artist, representative, agent, etc.). The Artwork Card contains detailed images and essential information about the artwork, providing a complete and structured documentation.
The Artwork Card is not just a technological tool but a key element for the protection of the artwork and the artist’s intellectual property. Through its digital registration and cryptographic signature, the Artwork Card certifies the uniqueness of the artwork and preserves its value over time. The generated Artwork Card is stored as a file on the Veralinx database server and remains accessible to the editor.
Artwork Tagging
Not all artworks present the same level of risk in terms of copying or replication.
For this reason, Veralinx has developed ArTAG, an NFC TAG designed for cases where authenticity must be protected not only digitally, but also through a secure physical link between the artwork and its registered identity.
The TAG becomes particularly relevant for works that can be more easily cloned or reproduced, such as prints, photographs, lithographs, serial design objects, and digitized sculptures.
In these contexts, the physical application of the TAG in a non-visible area transforms the artwork into an immediately recognizable and verifiable object, effectively strengthening the connection with its digital identity registered on Veralinx.
ArTAG is not a simple NFC label, but a physical authentication element equipped with advanced security mechanisms. When scanned with a smartphone, the system allows verification that the TAG is authentic and correctly associated with the registered artwork.
A simple scan with an NFC-enabled smartphone provides immediate access to the Artwork Card, registered data, and the result of the authenticity verification.
For artworks characterized by high technical complexity and details that are difficult to reproduce, the Artwork Card alone already represents a highly effective tool for protecting authenticity, with the advantage of greater cost scalability.
In these cases, the TAG remains an optional choice, left to the editor’s discretion.
In addition to artworks, the TAG is also an ideal tool for validating documentation, particularly Certificates of Authenticity (COA) and archives, adding an additional layer of trust, transparency, and long-term protection.
Verification
Verification is the stage in which an artwork is analyzed to assess its authenticity.
The Artwork Card, generated during the registration phase, remains the central element also in this step: it enables collectors, experts, galleries, and institutions to evaluate the artwork with reliability and transparency.
The process can take place in the following ways:
using the Opera-ID web app for automatic identification;
reading the NFC TAG, if applied to the artwork and to the Certificate of Authenticity (COA).
Opera-ID allows to:
identify the artwork through the smartphone camera by calculating a similarity index with the original;
geolocate the artwork at the time of verification;
access in real time the Artwork Card and the blockchain record.
The NFC TAG allows to:
identify the artwork through the smartphone’s NFC reader;
access in real time the Artwork Card and the blockchain record.
The presence of an NFC TAG adds an additional layer of protection: scanning it with a smartphone generates a unique link that enables the system to verify both the authenticity of the TAG and its correct association with the digital identity of the artwork registered on Veralinx.
The anti-counterfeiting technology of the TAGs is based on an advanced authentication protocol developed by Veralinx, designed to prevent cloning, reuse attempts, and tampering of the TAG itself.
Integration with the traditional art ecosystem
Veralinx.art does not replace the existing artwork authentication chain, but rather integrates with it. Therefore, any existing paper documentation can be incorporated into the digital verification process, adding both value and security.
