Every piece of art carries a story.
Who made it. Who owned it. Where it's been.
This is called provenanceThe documented history of an artwork - who created it, who owned it, and how it changed hands over time. - the chain of ownership that follows a piece through time.
We built AetherLabs to protect it.
Your art deserves better than a piece of paper
For over a century, we have trusted paper certificates to prove authenticity. A signature. A stamp. A promise.
But paper was never built to last.
Paper fails
Signatures can be copied. Stamps can be forged. A decent printer and some fancy paper is all it takes to fake a certificate. And buyers can't tell the difference.
Time erases
Paper yellows. Ink fades. Documents get lost in moves, floods, forgotten boxes. In 20 years, how will anyone prove what's real?
Stories disappear
Your art travels the world, but documentation doesn't follow. After decades of sales and transfers, the chain breaks. The history vanishes.
When the proof disappears, the story disappears with it.
The art is still beautiful. But something is missing.
Its identity. Its history. Its value.
There's a better way.
A certificate that lives with your art
We built AetherLabs to protect what paper can not. A digital certificate of authenticityA document that confirms an artwork is genuine, usually signed by the artist or an authority. that stays with the piece itself.
