Context & contribution
NFTapir paired physical fine art with on-chain certificates, working with G13 Gallery. The NFC experience connected visitors and buyers to the digital record; my contribution was the smart contract behind it.
- Built the Ethereum smart contract for minting and digital-twin certificates.
- Connected certificate provenance to the artist's own address.
- Provided the on-chain certificate layer used by the physical-art experience.
The judgment I carry forward
The physical artwork needed an accessible route to its digital record. NFC provided the tap-to-view interaction, while the Ethereum certificate made the recorded provenance inspectable.
Outcome and scope
The platform ran a gallery exhibition. My role was to deliver the smart-contract layer; the founder and gallery led the business and exhibition.
This account covers my smart-contract contribution in 2022. The certificate records on-chain provenance; the link to the physical artwork also depends on how the artwork and NFC tag are issued and handled.
