One registry: authenticity, ownership, and intermediary in sync
Certificates of authenticity, ownership, and intermediary share the same underlying record—so curatorial narrative, legal title, and market handoffs never drift into conflicting PDFs. Provenance transfers with a structured handoff: counterparties review the package and accept with one click to advance custody and visibility, instead of re-keying data across inboxes.
Certificate of authenticity
Artist-anchored authenticity that travels with the object and stays aligned with curatorial files.
Certificate of ownership
Clear title and custodial context so acquisitions, donors, and deaccessions stay auditable.
Certificate of intermediary
Dealers, lenders, and registrars meet in the middle—documenting the handoff without fragmenting the record.
One-click accept for provenance transfers
Bundle condition, certificates, and event history into a single transfer. The receiving institution or collector confirms in one action—preserving a defensible timeline for loans, acquisitions, and outgoing movement alike.
Built for registrars—not generic inventory software
Most tools stop at object IDs and locations. Provenance couples collection management with certificates, events, and verification so the record you maintain inside the building matches what partners see outside it.
Provenance-first, not spreadsheet-first
Accession, location, and exhibition history stay tied to the same certificate graph your partners verify.
One source of truth across departments
Curatorial, registrar, and development views pull from shared records—fewer reconciliations before a loan or audit.
Append-only events you can defend
Custody changes and internal movements emit transparent events instead of silent edits buried in a TMS export.
Built for public trust
Verification-friendly certificates and APIs meet institutions where donors, boards, and traveling shows expect clarity.

Common questions
How do certificates of authenticity, ownership, and intermediary work together?
They share the same registry-backed record so authenticity, title, and handoff context stay aligned. Structured transfers let counterparties accept provenance updates in one action instead of reconciling separate PDFs.
What does append-only asset event logging give our registrar team?
Each custody or movement change emits a transparent record with actor, payload, and timestamp—ideal for loans, cross-department accountability, and the traveling-exhibition paper trail boards expect.
How mature is the HTTP verification API?
API key storage, scopes, and rate limits exist in the database today; wire your preferred edge or service layer to expose partner endpoints when you are ready.
Built for boards, donors, and partner scrutiny
Museums need more than a login page. Provenance pairs collection accountability with controls designed for institutional trust—from tamper-evident history to scoped access for verification.
Append-only event ledger
Custody and movement changes record actor, timestamp, and payload—authenticated inserts only, so history cannot be silently overwritten.
Scoped API keys
Keys are stored with scopes and rate limits in mind, so partner verification and integrations expose only what your institution configures.
Encryption in transit and at rest
Industry-standard TLS protects traffic between browsers, apps, and our services; data at rest is encrypted within our cloud infrastructure.
Role-aware team access
Registrars, curators, and operations staff use individual accounts tied to your institution workspace—not a single shared login—so access stays accountable.
