Not only digital art

0xowns.art Turns Ownership into Art
As we all are familiar with the Ethereum (ETH ) which is an open-source, blockchain-based distributed computing platform and operating system featuring smart contract functionality. 0xowns.art is a platform for ETH users where they can check the art work’s current market value, purchase it, and also can set a resale price. The whole process works without any tokens and by recording the transaction in the Ethereum blockchain the ownership is granted.
At 0xowns.art the work shows only in the transactions executed by the site’s visitors. Buyers at 0xowns.art will not have their names recorded as owners of the work. They will not be remembered by features on a panel displaying behind docent’s stations. They will be making art history as contributor in the first global assertion of ownership as art.
