On request, the authenticity certificate of a work, has its digital copy registered in the blockchain. The inscription of the BAP (Biometric Art Passport) in the blockchain makes it possible to create a verifiable, unique, indestructible and inviolable link between the physical work and the digital work. Thanks to this, the DNA of the work registered in the blockchain is made unfalsifiable.
