  • Provides a built-in secondary market where investors can trade shares while configurable resale royalties flow back to the original artist.
  • Gives artists one dashboard for uploads, sales, payout accounts, and real-time analytics; charges 15% on full sales and 2% on investments, with payments handled through Stripe.
  • Adds document-based artist verification, pre-publication artwork review, written rejection feedback, account controls, audit trails, and asynchronous transactional email for OTPs, password resets, and purchase confirmations.
