Our Business
The art collectibles market has seen significant changes in recent years. Firstly, influenced by various factors, transactions for offline art and collectibles are increasingly shifting to online platforms. Secondly, digital collectibles are emerging as the new favorite in the market, thanks to blockchain technology, which is breaking the monopoly of traditional art collectibles. Blockchain technology securely links data blocks in sequence, ensuring resistance to tampering and unforgeability through cryptographic methods such as consensus protocols, digital signatures, and hash functions. By digitizing specific works, artworks, and products with blockchain technology for unique identification, each digital collectible will possess the same uniqueness, scarcity, and aesthetic appeal as artworks or collectibles.
To further promote the artistic uniqueness and commercial value of artworks and collectibles and gain recognition in the market, the CHI Art Platform is poised to become a new paradigm in the art market and occupy a central position.
Additionally, the CHI Art Platform actively promotes innovation in cultural heritage technology in response to the need for cultural heritage protection and technological advancement. By integrating digital technology with cultural heritage protection, we provide a diverse platform for artistic creation, processing, and sustainable online sharing, appreciation, and collection based on cultural heritage for various entities. We are dedicated to increasing public enthusiasm for ongoing efforts in cultural heritage protection and contributing to this important cause.
