Artory is the the Registry for the Art World and wants you to be a part of it!
Artory
has built the world's largest repository of data for the art world.
Transparency and integrity is paramount in gaining the trust of the
market and becoming the go-to resource for artwork-related information.
The Registry enables partners (e.g. dealers and auction houses) to
register important events of an artwork, which serve as immutable,
long-lasting documentation for the artwork. Partners provide artwork
owners with anonymous private keys, allowing them to identify as the
owner without storing their identity in the registry.
We ensure
the integrity of the data with progressive cryptography and blockchain
integration. Our goal is to bring the benefits of public-key
cryptography and blockchain technology to the art market. We want to
make these technologies more approachable and easy to use in order to
increase confidence in both buyers and sellers of art.
Your Role
We
are pushing forward to develop further products based on blockchain
smart contracts to extend the Registry. Your role would be to
continuously explore those fields and be a driving force for
developments there.
