Digital Original (DO) is a unique digital representation of a physical artwork that has undergone digitization in accordance with the Digital Original Standard. This standard employs technologies such as Digital Light Capture Technology (DLCT) and emphasizes transparency, intellectual property protection, and adherence to specific principles during the digitization process. The Digital Original is not a mere reproduction but a faithful and authentic translation of the physical artwork into the digital domain. With the integration of blockchain technology and decentralized storage, Digital Originals ensure the secure preservation, sharing, and trading of art in the digital space, ushering in a transformative paradigm for art collection and preservation.

Tokenization provides increased access to art, verification of the authenticity of the artwork, transparency of the history of the digital original, and a reduction in the risks and inconveniences that exist in the physical space (such as logistics and fraud). With the help of smart contracts, payments including royalties are automated, bringing convenience and benefit to the interested party from each sale. Tokenization facilitates direct global interaction between artists and audiences, and digital integration adds new possibilities to the artistic experience.

Tokenized art has already taken over the art industry, and its market size is projected to cross $342.54 billion by 2032. With the introduction of the DO standard for digitizing and tokenizing artworks, we anticipate the gradual yet universal adoption of these new digital assets among art institutions. 

To purchase a Digital Original of an artwork, please follow these simple steps:

1. Authorize your crypto wallet. Ensure your crypto wallet supports the Ethereum network. This can be done directly during the purchase process.
2. Create a Crypto Wallet (if needed). If you don't have a crypto wallet, you'll need to create one. This simple procedure takes about 5 to 10 minutes. Check our FAQ for detailed instructions.
3. Ensure Sufficient Funds. Make sure you have enough USDS and Ethereum tokens in your wallet to cover the purchase and transaction fees.
4. Choose a Buying Method. Select your preferred buying method. You can either purchase the artwork directly at a fixed price or participate in an auction where you can place bids and compete with other collectors. Complete your purchase by finalizing the appropriate transactions.
5. Access Your Token. After completing the purchase, your token and all associated data will be available in your wallet.

To purchase a Digital Original of an artwork, you need to have a positive and sufficient balance of USDC and ETH tokens in your crypto wallet.

To fund your crypto wallet, you need to follow these general steps:

1. Log in to your crypto wallet and ensure that you are connected to the Ethereum mainnet if you wish to receive funds. Check your wallet balance.

2. If your wallet balance is insufficient, you can fund it by purchasing cryptocurrency on an exchange and then transferring it to your Ethereum wallet. Ensure that your address is correctly entered, as blockchain transactions are irreversible. Some wallets may also offer the option to buy cryptocurrency within the wallet application.

3. Blockchain transactions require confirmations. Be patient and wait for the transaction to be confirmed. You can track the progress on the blockchain explorer.

4. Check your balance after funding your wallet.

Remember to keep your MetaMask wallet's seed phrase secure and never share it with anyone. If someone gains access to your seed phrase, they can control your wallet and access your funds.
