ABSTRACT

Blockchain technology, known for its secure, decentralized, and tamper-resistant features, offers promising solutions for the challenges in art authentication and provenance. This paper explores how blockchain can address issues of fraud, reliability, and transparency in art verification. By implementing smart contracts and decentralized ledgers, blockchain can ensure the integrity of art records, enhance trust among stakeholders, and provide a robust framework for tracking art provenance. Case studies of existing blockchain applications in the art world are discussed, along with the challenges and future trends in this innovative intersection of technology and art.

Keywords: Blockchain, Art Authentication, Provenance, Decentralized Ledger, Smart Contracts.
