For Artists
Receive payment instantly when your work sells. Build relationships with collectors. Automatically receive royalties on all secondary market sales through enforced EIP-2981 compliance.
The Artist's Challenge
Artists face fundamental challenges in the traditional art market:
- Payment Delays: Traditional art sales involve 30-90 day payment cycles. You need to wait months for payment while managing studio costs and living expenses.
- No Secondary Market Royalties: When your work is resold on the secondary market, you typically receive nothing. Traditional contracts cannot enforce royalty payments.
- Limited Collector Access: Building relationships with collectors requires gallery intermediaries. You have limited direct access to your collector base.
- Co-op Governance: Managing sales with galleries, estates, or collectives requires complex coordination and approval processes.
How Aegis Core Solves This
Instant Payment
When your work sells, the PaymentSplitter contract atomically distributes funds. You receive your share instantly in USDC or EURC—at the same time as the gallery. No more 90-day waits. This solves the chronic cash flow problem that cripples artists.
Example: A $100,000 painting sells. The smart contract instantly splits: $90,000 to you (90%), $10,000 to the gallery (10%). Both parties receive payment in seconds—not months.
Enforced Secondary Market Royalties
Our custom RoyaltyComplianceModule enforces EIP-2981 royalties on all secondary market sales. When someone tries to resell your work, the ERC-3643 Compliance contract checks royaltyInfo(). If the royalty isn't paid, the transfer fails. This makes royalties non-optional and automatically enforced.
- Set your royalty percentage (e.g., 10%) when tokenizing your work
- Royalties are automatically paid to your wallet on every secondary sale
- No contracts to enforce—the smart contract does it automatically
Co-op Multi-Sig Governance
Form "co-ops" with galleries, estates, or collectives using Gnosis Safe multi-sig wallets. Set custom rules (e.g., "2-of-3 signatures required for sale approval"). The platform provides "Multi-Sig-as-a-Service," automatically deploying secure wallets for collective governance.
Example: You, your gallery, and your lawyer form a co-op. All three must approve a sale. When a buyer makes an offer, you each receive a notification to sign. Once the threshold is met, the sale executes automatically.
Building Collector Relationships
When collectors purchase your work, you can build relationships while maintaining their privacy. The platform enables direct communication channels while protecting collector anonymity. You know they're verified and compliant—without seeing their identity unless they choose to reveal it.
