4ART Coin (4ART) is a cryptocurrency that serves as the backbone of a digital ecosystem designed to bring the traditional art market into the digital age. Developed by 4ARTechnologies, 4ART Coin seeks to provide a solution to the challenges faced by the art industry, such as counterfeiting and imitation. The 4ART platform utilizes blockchain technology and smart contracts to aim to ensure the authenticity, cataloguing, and appraisal of collectors' assets. The 4ARTpassport, a unique feature of the platform, allows collectors and enthusiasts to integrate the recorded history of an artwork along with its unique and identifiable 4ARTdna, capturing every change of state and change of ownership.

4ART Coin operates on a patented extended authentication technology provided by Atlantic Zeiser GmbH, a technical partner of 4ARTechnologies. This technology allows users to register the "fingerprints" of artworks on the blockchain, supplementing this information with important details about the history of the art's origin. This solution strives to combat the global issue of counterfeiting art objects and requires only a smartphone and the mobile app. The 4ART platform also aims to ensure the transparency of transactions without compromising confidentiality, thanks to blockchain technology and smart contracts.

4ART Coin is designed to serve as a transaction platform within the art world, aiming to ensure the security of transactions and allowing users to make sales safely. It can be used to pay for services on the 4ARTapp, with customers receiving a 20% discount when they use 4ART Coin. The platform also assists users in all stages of the transaction, including title deeds, loans, refurbishment, transportation, and insurance. Artists may receive compensation by reselling their works on the 4ART platform without compromising the privacy of the buyer.

4ARTechnologies, the company behind 4ART Coin, was founded in 2017 with the intention of aiming to provide the arts market with additional transparency and process efficiency. The company is headquartered in Switzerland and was launched by Niko Kipouros, a respected art dealer and collector. Recognizing the challenges of the contemporary art market, Kipouros teamed up with like-minded individuals and experts from the art world to lay the foundation for a new stage in the digital era. The 4ART Coin is an ERC-20 token that was deployed on a blockchain, with a total supply of 3,508,500,000 coins.
