What is MRKD art?
Everyone can add value to and earn value from the art itself:
Artists can upsell and enjoy royalties with every resell, collectors can add social media and sentimental value to the provenance, viewers have direct access to the provenance and can earn through affiliate sharing, dealers can negotiate commissions directly with the art, and museums can finally add their collections and artist-approved merchandise to augmented and virtual spaces with real value worth ticketing for.

MRKD has yourname.art to travel with you. ^YourName.art.LeonardoDaVinci.MonaLisa.YourComment
Louvre: It all begins with your .art name. Everything after your .art name is yours, just like a website domain or a crypto wallet or your home address. If it’s your name, it’s your art.
.art: MRKD.art is a part of the Blockchain Names Chain. When you see “.art” that means you’re in our function. But, just like the web where there’s more than .com, there’s more than .art. Your username will work on those functions too as they roll out. So stay tuned for .music, .pet, .dj, and more!
.LeonardoDaVinci: The artist attribute is where that artist’s mark lives. Whosever .art name owns this function, is the only .art user that can mark Grouped Asset NFT’s, manage their rights, and serve as the point of contact with owners, dealers, and followers alike.
.MonaLisa: This is the artwork title. This is the actual Grouped Asset NFT name and the primary NFT that owns all the assets it needs to fully defend its own authenticity and rights, showcase and grow its provenance, and promote and sell itself.
.Painting.jpg: This is the title of the specific asset file being referenced within the grouped asset NFT. Whether it’s a media format of the art, a rights contract, a provenance record, or even the art’s email address, this is the actual file name at the end of this taxonomy.

Think of them as the next generation of NFT’s. A single NFT can only do so much, but a primary NFT who’s main job is to own and manage all the NFT’s it needs to be fully defend it’s own authenticity and rights, showcase and evolve its provenance, and promote and sell itself wherever and however it’s expressed across the physical, digital, and immersive internets… that’s a Grouped Asset NFT or GAN for short.

MRKD uses the Blockchain Names system and interoperable marking technology to provide plain language, authentication, certification, and rights management.
MRKD does the thorough job of authenticating and certifying art before it’s marked so it never has to be authenticated by any marketplace or expert again.
MRKD also has KYC and AML screening at launch.

The mark is part of a patented system for identifying virtual goods, originally filed in 2017. This patent ensures that MRKD is the only organization that can use artists’ signatures as investigable certificates of authentication. If you see and can interact with the mark, it’s from MRKD, and authenticated by us at marking. If it doesn’t have a mark, buyer beware.
-
MRKD creates a symbiotic ecosystem for artists, collectors, dealers, and viewers to collectively add value to and earn value from the art itself so everyone can make their mark.
But in order to service each person’s needs specifically.
• Collectors and viewers use their .art name to interact with, affiliate share, and purchase art.
• Artists go through a thorough ID and rights screening and gain control over marking rights with their signature. They are the only users in the system that can create grouped asset NFTs.
• Dealers have a lot of tools at their disposal to help onboard new artists, automate commission and temporary possessorship contracts, and showcase multiple physical and digital galleries at once.
