This partnership involves using the <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/Base/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Base</a> blockchain, developed by <a href="https://crypto.news/tag/Coinbase/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Coinbase</a>, to mint unique digital certificates for each art piece sold. These certificates provide a secure way to verify ownership and track the history of the artwork.
Buyers will be able to access their certificates through the Kresus wallet, offering a modern alternative to traditional paper records. Blockchain is often used in crypto transactions, but in this case, it provides an unchangeable digital record of who owns each artwork.&nbsp;
For collectors, this means they have a secure, digital way to prove ownership, replacing paperwork that can easily be lost or forged.
Trevor Traina, the founder of Kresus, emphasized that managing art collections can be complicated, and blockchain simplifies this process.&nbsp;
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
 “As an art collector, I am well aware of the burden of managing and maintaining provenance and proper documentation- often in paper form and in file cabinets. This partnership with Christie’s exemplifies how technology can enhance the experience for collectors, providing a secure, digital way to manage physical assets.”&nbsp;

The auction features works by renowned photographers, including Diane Arbus and Cindy Sherman, with Kresus’ blockchain certificates highlighting how art ownership is evolving into the digital age.
