Cultural institution (unnamed)

A cultural NFT platform

High-fidelity digitisation, curated minting and rights-aware metadata, so a collection's provenance survives outside the institution that holds it.

Scope & intent: high-fidelity digitization, curated minting, rights-aware metadata and institution-grade marketplace flows.

  • Digital twin creation: 3D scanning + ultra-HD imaging as canonical media payloads; content hashed and referenced from on-chain metadata.
  • Provenance envelope (“Artist’s Footprint”): structured metadata (licence, exhibition record, signatures, chain of custody) embedded in JSON-LD and IPFS/Filecoin anchors.
  • Access & monetization: gated minting (curator/artist roles), primary sale rules, automatic royalty routing (EIP-2981 style), and unlockable content for owners.
  • Relevant technical choices: ERC-721 / ERC-1155 token models, IPFS + Filecoin for media, modular marketplace contracts inspired by Seaport.

Why it matters: embeds institutional provenance into token metadata so cultural institutions can control licensing, demonstrate chain-of-custody, and create durable digital assets that link to physical collections.
