The world has changed seamlessly over the past 300 years, save for the artworld that has stagnated and stuck in the past, a multi-billion dollar industry that manages eighteenth-century standards. The way the industry is valued, authenticated, evaluated, auctioned, acquired and appreciated is virtually the same today as it was three centuries ago. It is an industry that craves credit, elite and inefficiency that hurt buyers and sellers alike. #ArtPro is creating a go-to marketplace for private dealers and contemporary artists with a strong focus on emerging talent.

ArtPro overcomes the industry's biggest threat - fraud and fake - by creating a new opportunity by connecting artists and art buyers to the world's first peer-to-peer marketplace, along with a Temper-proof Provenance solution built on blockchain technology.

Figure out the existing art market, then increase sales volume and subtract risk - this is ArtPro.

Brief about Artpro:-

ArtPro is based in Malta with us dividing our time between the crypto friendly jurisdiction and the UK. Our team, however are global which makes structuring a day around various time zones very interesting! The ArtPro platform will open the art world to the masses, making it possible for anyone to discover and purchase fine art online without the excessive fees, intermediaries, and steep learning curve that have traditionally made art available to only to the privileged and the well-connected. Certificates of provenance, stored on the blockchain, attest to the authenticity of each artwork on the ArtPro platform, but that is only the beginning. ArtPro forms a complete ecosystem in which traditional and contemporary art harnesses cryptocurrency, smart contracts and augmented reality to create an open platform that supports everyone from emerging artists to first-time investors. Through partnerships with galleries that are working with rising artists, ArtPro’s MVP will launch populated with contemporary works that can be admired and acquired instantly. Buyers have the option to store purchases in a secure facility for investment purposes or to have them shipped to a location of their choice. For years, the art market has failed to innovate and persisted with inefficient systems that benefit auction houses and galleries but do little for the creators and collectors of great art. ArtPro is bringing the outmoded art industry into the 21st century while eliminating the fakes that are endemic to the industry via a proprietary three-part provenance solution. The ArtPro ecosystem shall be characterized by transparency and fairness for the benefit of all participants.

Main things is as the first blockchain to support such an online marketplace, we are really keen to introduce this technology and start innovating in a somewhat clustered art market. Traditionally, the industry has been sold to a gentleman's handshake deal in an unobtrusive fashion, including the ceiling. ArtPro is the first blockchain-driven online art market, offering verifiable art to the public. The use of blockchain for security and smart contracts to protect transactions, will be marketed for ArtPro collectors and investors alike.

The ArtPro token (APT) is an ERC20 token that will operate on the Ethereum network, chosen due to its strong ecosystem of developers and supported products including compatible wallets and exchanges. The APT token will perform a range of functions within the ArtPro platform and various dApps that are built upon its open source protocol.

How Artpro different from others ?

In an art world filled with third parties such as auction houses and galleries, ArtPro is focused on connecting direct buyers and sellers. We are reducing the barriers to entry with Art across many price ranges, a unique community art fund and ongoing professional investment advice that will encourage and reassure more new buyers. ArtPro is also paying great attention to nurturing artistic talent by creating a platform where emerging artists can reach potential customers in a whole new world.

Why Artpro will do healthy?

ArtPro focuses on creating new opportunities for sellers and reducing barriers to entry of buyers. One thing we are particularly passionate about is our smartphone app that will use augmented reality (AR) to allow potential shoppers to instantly see a piece of art anywhere in their choice. This novel but practical solution will help our customers visualize their purchase at their office, home or elsewhere.

The Problem:-

Art as the store for wealth:-

The price of the art is being paid for much longer than the beauty. Contemporary pieces from the Old Masters have been used as asset savings for people who want to invest in industrial financial assets, which are largely resistant to the movement of financial markets. The chain of titles, however, is more valuable as it deals with higher incomes, with full income.

The greatest threat:-

As much as 30% of all art sales are believed to involve forged pieces. The Deloitte Art & Finance Report 2017 lists ‘authenticity, lack of provenance, forgery, and attribution’ as ‘the greatest threat to the reputation of the art market’.

Barriers to growth:-

The online art market has not yet reached maturity and efforts to promote its growth have been futile as concerns of consumers have not been resolved. The lack of transparency, centered on both terms and prices, is a scarcity of information available to educate consumers about the arts, and the reliability of any piece of truth is blocking the transition between browser and buyer.

Solution:-

ArtPro does not claim to unilaterally solve all the problems involved in the art industry. The ArtPro platform, however, will play an important role in elevating the art world in the digital age and democratizing fine art for a global audience. ArtPro will serve as a platform that connects participants and partners within the ArtPro ecosystem. The most visible manifestation of this is the ArtPro website and dApP, which creates an information-rich portal for access to the full resources of Art Aficionados form provided by multiple multimedia organizations, including education and access articles, tutorials and videos for contemporary art. From the first steps of aspiring investors to advanced strategies, the fine industry will be guided on a fundamental basis of valuation and acquisition. Most importantly, buyers and sellers are connected, enabling the industry to instantly activate using the APT token through a MetaMask browser or App-Wallet. Developers are free to build bill apps built on the ArtPro protocol and a reward fund will encourage the development of talented projects. Features like Provenance Report and ArtPro Marketplace can be integrated into third-party platforms through the API, bringing artists and their work to a wider audience.

AR App:-

The use of AR, to provide a realistic representation of art in a 3D space, will help to drive more sales and will eliminate some of the problems associated with buying art online. It will also give the app real-world utility, making it much more than just a tool for passively browsing works of art
