No More Rug Pulls • Permanent Royalties • The Art Owns Its Likes and Follows

MRKD.art is bringing the best of physical, digital, and NFT art together.

Our patented system allows

  • Artists to create immutably authenticated, rights managed, interoperable, and multi-reality art sealed by their very own signature.

  • Collectors to keep a relationship with the artist, co-creating a value-adding provenance of likes, comments, follows, reviews, and more in which they are both rewarded upon resale.

  • Curators, with their specialized experience, network, and passions to have the tools they need to retake the gallery mantle from NFT marketplaces who don’t have aligned incentives to specialize, share royalties, or empathize with artists.

  • Viewers to finally have the experiences they have with art become a part of the art’s story while empowering those who want to digitally share that art to keep it properly sourced, and be rewarded for that effort.

We dream of a world where

  • Artists never lose their connection to their creations

  • Collectors are stewards that can add stories to their art before selling it

  • Curators are empowered to be the true influencers of NFT marketplaces

  • And viewers can affect the art as much as the art affects them.

The 6 Qualities of MRKD NFTs

ID - The signature links directly to an artist’s owned digital asset so you never get rug pulled again.

Value - The price is always accessible no matter where the art is shown.

Rights - IP documents go wherever the art does.

Assets - Any format the artist wants to use to express the art is attached for true interoperability and multi-dimensional expression of a singular piece of art.

Promotion - No more right-clicks thanks to an affiliate link share button and a curator link to authentically showcase with smart contract commissions.

Provenance - The art’s entire CV is accessible and able to grow over time as the art itself collects its own views, likes, and shares.

How Does MRKD Art Work?

MRKD isn’t a different technology than NFTs, just a different, simpler user experience that lets the art speak for itself. Every artist’s signature is reimagined as a window into the back of the art’s canvas where you can investigate its authenticity, rights, and provenance.

MRKD specifically uses the Ethereum standard, 6551, to enable the artist signature to hold its own wallet. We then place all the art formats and rights in that signature NFT, making the art autonomous.

That means no more need to research etherscan to authenticate. There’s a link connected to the minter/artist, their rights, and any smart contracts specifying the art’s behavior right in the digital canvas.
