About Limited Editions
A numbered edition of only 10.
This is a Limited Edition produced in only 10 pieces worldwide. Each piece carries a unique edition number, with authenticity proven both digitally and physically.
Non-reattachable NFC tag
Each print carries a unique NFC tag. Its tamper-evident structure breaks if removed, so it cannot be transferred to another work.
Blockchain certification
Artwork details, edition number, and ownership history are recorded on the blockchain, preserving provenance and ownership over the long term.
Signed certificate of authenticity
A certificate bearing the artist's signature is included. Along with the print itself, it leaves you with proof of authentic ownership.
Physical × digital, dual proof.
Unlike traditional proof that relies on a handwritten signature alone, linking a physical NFC tag with a digital certification record delivers tamper-proof, far more reliable proof of authenticity.
Authenticity is certified using "Startrail," a blockchain certification platform operated by Startbahn, Inc.
