Artists can track the current ownership status of their artworks even after secondary distribution because their provenance is recorded on the blockchain.
In addition, when the artists themselves issue blockchain certificates for their artworks in the primary sale, the artworks’ authenticity will be strengthened; their distributions on secondary sales will be safer than it used to be.
Furthermore, artists can create the contract terms at the time they issue the certificate. By setting royalties from secondary sales, they can receive a portion of the profit from secondary sales.
