Provenance you can check before you buy
The biggest risk in buying art is a story you can't check: a confident attribution, a letter on gallery paper, a provenance that falls apart under scrutiny. Attesian lets you verify a work's certificate and history yourself, in seconds, before any money changes hands.
Scan the certificate or open its link and your own browser confirms the signature and checks the record against the day's registry anchor. When you buy, the record follows the work to you — so the next person can trust it exactly as you did.
Verify without trusting the seller
The check runs in your browser against Attesian's published key and daily anchor. You confirm the work, the artist, and the history without an account and without relying on the seller's say-so.
See how sure each fact is
The trust tier separates facts confirmed by everyone involved from those noted by a single party — so a two-sided provenance reads differently from an unverified claim.
A record that travels with the work
Provenance is append-only and portable. A future sale carries the same verifiable history, which protects the value of what you own.
Questions
- Do I need an account to verify a work?
- No. Verification is fully public — anyone with the certificate link or QR code can confirm a work and see its history with nothing to install.
- Can a seller fake the certificate?
- No. Certificates are cryptographically signed, and any change to the record breaks the day's registry anchor — which your browser checks independently.
