BCA’s user-friendly platform answers the call for an industry-wide protocol for transacting digital art formats; one that will ensure provenance, verify uniqueness and enforce terms for artist resale royalties. Buy and sell with fiat currency on the BCA Marketplace or through your own domain.

BCA will design, implement, and maintain the world’s first blockchain that is dedicated to the fine art community. This blockchain is being built with the next-generation technologies from the Polkadot Network ecosystem, which uses a proof-of-stake protocol and provides a host of benefits in terms of security, environment-friendliness, and more. The BCA closed beta is built on RMRK.app, which is an NFT platform on the Kusama Network.

As its community grows, BCA will open its governance to the art industry’s stakeholders — artists, galleries, museums, and institutions — to run the technical infrastructure with nodes and as validators within the network. We believe this will help foster the growth of the digital art market while adapting faster to its needs.
