What is ASKNIGHTS? It is the place where art, technology and space collide — A web-app platform and portal for the international art industry. The project idea emerged in 2018 and for approximately two years the main focus was research and benchmarking. The target was to find the right gap in the market and to offer a unique and useful solution.

The portal aims at being an international platform for the art industry and a global art marketplace with NFT art, blockchain agnostic, with VR, AR, and MR experiences for art exhibitions and events. It includes emerging technologies such as blockchain with smart contracts for better security, trust, and transparency.

A big focus is NFT because it seems to work better than the traditional CoA (Certificate of Authenticity — https://mattgalligan.com/an-nft-is-not-the-art/ and https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/wisekey-wkey-introduces-wise-art-170000171.html for more information). How do the art platform and the system work? The service system is mainly autonomous and run by algorithms and principles specified and updated according to end-users needs through programming language and coding. In this way, the use case builds more trust in the system. It aims at being as efficient, correct, and impartial as possible. Soon, we will have blue-chip art on blockchain as well.

All in all, the project is bringing innovative ideas to life by combining the art industry with the latest emerging technologies from tech and space innovations.
