VECTOR FINE ART EXCHANGE
VECTOR ENABLES ARTISTS TO GENERATE WEALTH
Traveling to different cities - developing Vector projects, we have found that Artists, Curators, and Institutions all over the world are struggling.
​
The existing systems both in the private and public sectors are not enough to support the global art community. One of the major problems that Artist face is they don’t have a reliable or stable income stream.
Vector is creating an ecosystem to solve this problem by providing a mechanism where artists who are curated into the system can generate an income.
â–
PROOF OF CREATIVITY
We have developed a cross-chain digital platform (Metachain) using a proprietary blockchain based tokenization method that provides authentication, valuation, and royalty tracking for both analog and digital works of art. Once this is built Artist will have an independent mechanism to convert their work directly into a liquid fractionalized tradable asset. Artists will have the power to generate the income they need when they need it.

HOW IT WORKS
ART FUND
TOKENIZATION
The Vector Art Fund is the store of value for the Vector platform. Artwork is purchased, stored, value assessed, and tokenized into the Vector ecosystem. This process mints Vector Share Tokens. Vector Shares function as fractional ownership of an artwork and are forever associated with it, offering a wide array of functionality.
FUNCTIONALITY
HOW IT WORKS
This diagram explains how an artwork becomes fractionalized in the Vector ecosystem. A creator hash value identifies the unique artist that created the work, this is the source of their commissions from tradable shares. Vector Shares are separated into two blocks – the ownership block and the tradable block. Information is permanently recorded and saved on our timestamped ledger, which become data points for analysis and reports.
