17 November 2020 - 3:15PM
CurrencyWorks Inc. (“CurrencyWorks” or the “Company”) (TSXV and
OTCQB: CWRK), a publicly-traded company that builds and operates
FinTech platforms for Digital Currencies, Security Tokens and
Digital Assets that reduce costs, increase transactions plus
liquidity and drive user engagement, announced being selected to
create a solution that will change the art market by applying
forensic and blockchain technology to prevent art forgeries and
fakes.
FACT (Forensic Art Certification
Technology) is a forensic analysis tool utilizing
interferometer technology and the blockchain to create an immutable
record of ownership, and verification that the piece of artwork
received is the artwork originally scanned. The interferometer can
capture images with incredible precision allowing
the FACT system to accurately verify that an image
scanned is the same as the image received.
By applying forensic technology and innovative
thinking to the issue of art crime CurrencyWorks was selected to
develop a patent pending all-in-one solution for Authenticity
Verification, Condition Reporting and Collection Management.
Leveraging technological advancements in Interferometry,
Automation, and Blockchain Technology, FACT offers a truly secure
object-oriented approach to one of this centuries’ oldest
issues.
Under the terms of the agreement the minimum
contract value is US$500,000.00 and up to US$2M. This also includes
possible multi-year operational support.
“Every year, US$6B Black Market for Art that the
FBI estimates worth of art is sold around the world – and an
estimated 20% of them are forgeries. FACT uses forensic
science to validate the authenticity of original works to sniff out
fraud and put an end to the US$6B art forgery market,” said Bruce
Elliott, CurrencyWorks President.
Art crime is estimated to be the 3rd highest
grossing crime after money laundering and terrorist activities;
however, only a fraction of the resources are dedicated to stopping
it relative to other crimes.
“This technology will have the ability to
validate art originality in every sector of the industry,” said
Patricia Trompeter, FACT President. “We are excited to partner with
the team at CurrencyWorks that has deep roots in developing
blockchain solutions to successfully bring this to market and help
us to revolutionize the global art world.”
