Verisart

Blockchain-backed digital certificates for art

Overview

Verisart uses blockchain technology to issue secure, tamper-proof digital certificates for art and collectibles, capturing provenance and creation data for artists, collectors, galleries, and museums. Certificates are created on a platform via mobile or desktop, and are encrypted and timestamped on a decentralized ledger, making records hard to alter and easy to verify. The service is built around easy certificate creation and management, with sharing or transferring capabilities and fees from subscriptions, transactions, or one-time charges. Compared with traditional paper certificates, Verisart emphasizes verifiability and global accessibility by recording ownership history on an immutable ledger, aiming to set a global standard for art authentication and provenance.

Hunter Biden certifies nearly 100 artworks on blockchain via UK startup Verisart

Hunter Biden has begun using UK startup Verisart to certify nearly 100 of his artworks on the blockchain and is now accepting Bitcoin payments. The former US president's son, who has pursued painting in recent years, is using the platform to create digital certificates recording provenance and ownership. Verisart founder Robert Norton said Biden simply signed up like any other artist, with no direct partnership. Norton suggested Biden may have been drawn to the service due to impersonation and fake social media accounts. The company provides blockchain-based certificates of authenticity for artworks and collectables, processing almost 300,000 certificates since launching a decade ago. Biden's art sales have slowed recently, with court filings in March 2025 disclosing "significant debt in the millions".
