Whitestone Gallery Hong Kong has announced plans to conduct ICO, the proceeds from which will go toward the construction of Art Trading Platform.
Art Trading Platform by Blockchain
By using funds raised by ICO, a distributed appraised art trading platform will be built by using blockchain technology.
Distributed appraised art trading platform is to bring interactions among artists, art lovers, galleries, auction houses, art colleges, art critics, collectors, etc. such as viewing and appreciating each other’s artworks It is a network that enables people to interact and realize an environment where many people can become familiar with art, as well as enabling their trading and settlement.
In addition, it will be a place to invest in works of artists whose evaluations are lagging internationally and to introduce excellent art to the world simultaneously. On the existing art trading platform, middle agents charge a high transaction fee to both the seller and the collector. This platform provides services that are impossible to achieve with existing trading systems such as smoothing transactions and further reducing fees.
Also, we plan to offer appraised art by linking biometrics such as fingerprints with secret keys by blockchain. With this system, the genuine problem will be solved.
