Four Steps to Make a Difference in Your Life with APA
How the APA platform works
All Public Art (APA) is making it much easier and safer to trade art online. Their objective is simple — safe, peer to peer trading in the art market. This means that they’re trying to work out counterfeiting as well as price
manipulation by allowing artists and art collectors to deal directly with one another.
This is a new and exciting process for the All Public Art team and once the blockchain and tokens are implemented on the platform, then this new process that includes things such as the smart contracts, trading
and shipping will be implemented.
The APA marketplace is a seamless blend of art and technology as blockchain technology will enable the transactions between artists and collectors. There are four steps to the All Public Art trading process:
- Registration
Anyone who’d like to engage with the APA community will need to register on the platform. The same applies
for artists, collectors and fans. If you’re an artist, once your profile has been created you will be able to post
artworks and related art pieces on the platform in exchange for APA tokens. - Protection
Every single member who registers will receive a unique ID that will be used to validate and authenticate all transactions on the platform as well as the blockchain. For collectors who may be concerned about counterfeiting or fraud, there are also options to secure and validate the authenticity of the art work.
a. A QR code unique to the piece
b. Tamper sensitive and holographic stickers embedded with a unique ID
c. A Radio Frequency Identification Chip (RFID)
d. A specialized adhesive that will be applied to the artwork which
contains micro RFID chips - Trading
If you find yourself partial to a specific art piece that you’re willing to trade your APA tokens for, you can initiate the trade with the “acquire artwork” button. To document the details of the transaction as well as make it public record, a smart contract will be initiated and work in conjunction with the All Public Art API.
The APA tokens will be stored at a temporary location until the buyer receives the art work. After the buyer receives the art, the tokens will be paid out to the artist. - Shipping
Depending on the size as well as value of the art, shipping can vary. APA has given its users two different shipping methods to choose from. The first being a list of fine art shipping affiliates for fine art and the second
being standard shipping for small artwork and other art related items, the choice is yours.
The founders of All Public Art created this platform as a means to contribute to the growth of the art market as well as to enable artists and collectors around the world to form a global community and network of people,
which will continue to help the art market flourish for many years to come.
