Take, or upload from your phone, an overview photo of your artwork, plus a detail view. The overview photo will be used for your artwork’s next-gen Certificate of Authenticity.
Smart tech for the art world
SmartStamp is the pioneering new standard in identification and authentication for the art world that combines secure, environmentally sustainable, and easy-to-use technology.
SmartStamp is the ultimate solution for authenticating art and collectibles. Developed over a decade, our patented, AI technology creates a unique ‘fingerprint’ that links physical objects to the digital realm. Similar to biometrics used for human identification, our technology captures unique features that cannot be cloned, ensuring tamper-proof authentication and a new level of security and trust for the art and collectibles sector.
By linking object biometrics to an NFT, our solution unlocks a range of digital and virtual services such as web3 integration, smart contract artist royalties, and more. Using our app is easy – take photos of your object with your macro lens smartphone and our groundbreaking security and blockchain timestamping technology will take care of the rest.

Use Cases
How the app works
1. Take an overview image of the artwork
2. Select an area to scan and register a fingerprint
The area you scan will be 0.5 cm². SmartStamp uses multi-dimensional dynamic identity AI and deep learning networks technology to analyze and verify patterns based on a small defined area. Up to 1,000 nodal points are analyzed. This image analysis is converted into a mathematical formula — numbers in a code. This code is like the unique structure of a human fingerprint. You can create up to four fingerprints per object. Create a location pin where each fingerprint is located on the photo of the object. The fingerprints are uploaded to a cloud for future verification from anywhere with network access.
3. Integrated blockchain event log
Sit back and relax on this step because SmartStamp automatically records every interaction of the digital fingerprinting process with our immutable, blockchain event log technology.
4. Verify fingerprint
Using your location pin finder, hover over the fingerprint’s general area to verify the unique fingerprint using our dynamic recognition AI technology in real-time.
5. Create a Next Gen Certificate of Authenticity
SmartStamp will generate a next-gen Certificate of Authenticity (see COA example) for your artwork. This includes a QR code to view the complete immutable, blockchain event log that records every interaction of each digital fingerprint’s registration and verification and a QR code that opens the SmartStamp app to verify the digital fingerprints. Verify or download the Certificate of Authenticity. Not ready to issue a certificate? Download a receipt of delivery to send to a temporary custodian so you can verify the object upon return. You can add your own logo to the certificate in the blank upper right space. Easily email the certificate or export your entire object record by sharing the SmartStamp QR code with another user. Push the COA to your systems files, a blockchain registry, or mint them into NFTs with our smart contract for secondary market creator royalties. That’s smart tech. That’s SmartStamp!
