Fundshing utilizes industry-leading token standards to ensure the security, authenticity, and provenance tracking of tokenized artwork. We primarily employ
The ERC-721 standard is designed for non-fungible tokens (NFTs), making it ideal for tokenizing fine art. Each token is unique and verifiably linked to a specific piece of art, ensuring authenticity, provenance tracking, and digital ownership rights.
ERC-1155: enables the creation of both unique (1/1) and multi-edition (limited runs) art pieces within a single contract. This is useful for artists and collectors managing multiple works or serialized editions on the blockchain.
ERC-1400 ensures built-in investor verification, KYC/AML enforcement, and regulatory compliance for fractionalized blue-chip art. ERC- 3643 expands on ERC-1400 with enhanced compliance features, making it ideal for private art funds, tokenized art-backed loans, and institutional-grade digital collectibles.
