Build a documented asset record

Coretos can design a record linking the object's identifiers, descriptions, provenance documents and specialist reports. Each item of evidence has a source, date and access policy.

RecordProposed operating purpose
Asset identityLink the object to the correct documents and platform record.
Provenance and title materialSupport the review performed by appointed specialists.
Condition reportsTrack recorded condition and changes over time.
Custody and locationRecord the responsible provider and approved movements.
Insurance and valuationsKeep relevant documents, dates and review tasks together.

The system can retain the review outcome and unresolved questions. A blockchain record can preserve references and history; authentication still depends on the underlying evidence and specialist process.

Support custody, loans and asset movements

An artwork may remain in storage, be exhibited or move between approved locations. We design workflows for requests, authorizations, handover records and confirmation of receipt.

The scope identifies who supplies condition reports and verifies the relevant insurance arrangements for each movement. Investors can receive the approved information without exposing confidential storage details or restricted documents.

Keep valuations and sale decisions traceable

Valuations should retain their source, date and purpose. The platform can show the approved valuation separately from an asking price, an offer or completed sale proceeds.

Coretos designs decision workflows around the project's governance: who may propose a sale, which approvals are needed and what supporting information is required. The process can accommodate a private sale or auction with the selected providers.

Illustrative workflow: an approved artwork sale. The responsible manager submits the proposed sale and supporting material; the required approvals are recorded; the sale result and received funds are confirmed; the administrator reconciles fees and other approved deductions; investor records reflect the final allocation and payment.

Connect specialists and investor operations

We can build interfaces for custodians, asset managers, administrators and payment providers, according to available access and project requirements. Controlled uploads can support providers whose records arrive as reports or statements.

The platform can include investor onboarding, instrument records, document access and servicing. Ongoing maintenance can cover integrations, monitoring and later changes to the portfolio or operating process.

Questions about art tokenization

Can several investors participate in one asset?

We can build the records and investor workflows for the structure established by your team and advisers, with the rights and decision process clearly presented.

Can the platform verify that an artwork is authentic?

It can organize evidence and review decisions from appointed specialists. The token record itself does not authenticate the physical object.

Can investors trade their interests later?

Transfer functionality can be designed around the instrument, approvals and intended operating model. An available transfer process does not by itself ensure a buyer or a sale price.

Tell us what assets are involved, who holds and administers them, and how investment decisions and exits are intended to work.
