What is Originis?

Core Values: Our vision and values focus on reengineering trust in the art business through innovative technology, crafting a new environment for an entirely transformed world.

Origins is a hybrid-decentralized platform designed to seamlessly blend provenance and marketplace features. Our core objective is to register, trade and promote both physical and digital artworks, ensuring that the legacies of living and deceased artists are well-preserved.

Built upon the robust foundation of blockchain for secure data storage over 200 years and A.I. to enhance art authentication, our platform securely archives trade and art history, fostering heightened trust. We've integrated a thorough Provenance process, enhanced by Artificial Intelligence, using science to refine the authentication process.

We also provide a secure platform for users to confidently bid on premium artworks. Artists benefit from a transparent space to showcase their works to a broad spectrum of collectors.

At the core of Origins are our artists, collectors, and scholars. Their participation and feedback are vital to the ongoing evolution of our platform.

How we'll do it?

The Provenance process serves as the gateway for introducing new artworks into our platform. It begins with the comprehensive entry of information and documents pertaining to the artwork, categorized under various headers: Profile (encompassing title, name, dimensions, etc.), Artwork Image, Certifications, Expert Evaluations, Exhibitions, and Publications.

Subsequently, each artwork undergoes a meticulous review of all submitted details, conducted jointly by our internal team and sophisticated A.I. Upon approval, the artwork advances to the minting process. Here, a unique smart contract is crafted for the artwork, accompanying it throughout its lifecycle. This contract archives all artwork information and documents in the same classified format as provided during registration, ensuring easy access and understanding.

For original artists, there's an additional feature: the ability to produce related digital works. This functionality remains exclusive and is not extended to collectors.

Our advanced artistic attribution algorithms also assist living artists in the creation of digital works and NFT generation.

Introducing artworks into the market becomes a swift process, requiring just a click and minor inputs.

Origins' provenance procedure stands unparalleled in the industry, offering unrivaled transparency for each artwork certification to collectors and the wider public. With our robust technological infrastructure, we're positioned to support other industry institutions through WhiteLabel solutions, empowering them to embark on their digital art journey with an emphasis on provenance and security.

Our ambition stretches globally. Origins aims to nurture an active community of ardent art scholars, fostering rich interactions and networking within the community.

Our commitment: Traceability, validation, and trust.

Which is our target?

Our mission at Originis is to address the industry's networking challenges by bridging artists and collectors through transparent data, thereby fostering trust, enhancing business opportunities, and creating enduring legacies.

Many who wish to certify their invaluable artworks often find themselves sidelined by auction houses and galleries operating within exclusive circles.

Originis empowers both collectors and artists to proudly showcase their collections to a wider audience. They have the choice to remain anonymous, with their identities safeguarded by top-tier blockchain security and privacy measures.

Our model is pioneering, designed to combat inefficiencies and, more critically, the prevailing mistrust. We recognize the damage speculators can cause by stifling communication and collaboration within the art community for personal gain, and we're here to change that narrative.

Who are we?

Founded by passionate art collectors, technology specialists, entrepreneurs and artists, we created Originis to promote networking, trust and scaling of the art ecosystem.

Where are we?

Originis incorporated as a limited liability company in Switzerland, where we benefit of a favorable position within the art and technology market to scale at a worldwide level.

When do we expect to deliver?

Originis is estimated to reach its breakeven point as fast as the second half of 2024.
