Why evolve your fine art collection in the digital age? 

As art moves into the digital space, Web3 technologies allow collectors to explore new creative possibilities and secure ownership through blockchain technology. Collecting digital fine art in Web3 enhances provenance, authenticity, and offers global access to exclusive artworks. 

 

What are the benefits of collecting art in Web3? 

Web3 technology enables secure ownership, verified authenticity, and a transparent history of the artwork, recorded on the blockchain. Digital art also introduces the ability to engage with interactive or animated pieces. Additionally, collecting in Web3 opens up global access to prestigious artists and communities. 

 

Why collect through Arkhouse Gallery? 

Arkhouse Gallery represents world-class artists, not self-minting creators, ensuring that every piece in the collection is carefully curated. Our gallery bridges traditional fine art with Web3 innovation, offering collectors unique digital works on the blockchain with secure payment options, including fiat and ADA (Cardano’s native token); with more blockchain options being introduced in the near future. 

 

Why does Arkhouse work with the Cardano blockchain? 

Cardano is known for its security, low fees, and eco-friendly proof-of-stake model. Its blockchain provides a sustainable infrastructure for storing digital artworks and ensures that collectors benefit from transparency and longevity. 

 

Will Arkhouse offer other blockchain integration apart from Cardano in the future?
Yes, Arkhouse Gallery plans to evolve and integrate additional blockchains to expand our collectors' options, while maintaining the highest standards of security and sustainability. 

 

Who is Arkhouse's secure payment provider? 

We use NMKR, a trusted and secure Web3 payment gateway. NMKR allows collectors to easily purchase art using ADA while ensuring all transactions are smooth and reliable. 

 

How does Arkhouse Gallery choose their artists? 

Arkhouse Gallery curates artists with exceptional global reputations, focusing on those who bring innovation and creativity to the digital fine art space. Each artist has a well-established portfolio and pushes artistic boundaries in Web3. 

 

How do I collect artwork through Arkhouse Gallery? 

Simply visit the gallery, choose the artwork you'd like to collect, and use our secure payment gateway powered by NMKR. You can pay using ADA or fiat. Each purchase includes a certificate of authenticity and your artwork will be stored on the blockchain. 

 

How do I create a digital wallet?
Setting up a digital wallet is simple. We recommend wallets like Begin Wallet, Yoroi, Nami, or Eternl. You can obtain ADA through exchanges like Binance or Coinbase, and use it to purchase art. What are the associated costs/fees when buying an artwork? The artwork price includes all fees except for a small gas fee. Gas fees are minimal on the Cardano network compared to other blockchains, making it an economical choice for purchasing digital art. 

 

What are gas fees?

Gas fees are small transaction costs paid to the blockchain to process your transaction. Cardano's low gas fees make it an ideal blockchain for digital art transactions. 

 

After purchasing my artwork, where is it stored?

Your artwork is stored securely on the Cardano blockchain. You own the token linked to the artwork, which resides in your digital wallet, ensuring long-term security and provenance. 

 

Can I resell digital artworks?

Yes, you can resell your digital artwork on secondary markets. Blockchain technology keeps the authenticity and ownership history intact, making it easier for future buyers to trust the transaction. 

 

What are the Intellectual Property rights?

Ownership of the NFT artwork grants you rights as specified by the artist, which may include displaying and reselling the piece. The artist retains copyright unless otherwise specified. 

What royalties do artists receive?

Artists receive a 10% royalty on secondary sales of their work, ensuring they are supported financially in the digital age when their work is resold.
