Obey Giant x Shepard Fairey: Verisart Digital COA's
Better Certificates of Authenticity
Before using Verisart, Obey Giant’s team used to manually create physical certificates for each work. Switching to Verisart’s patented digital Certificates of Authenticity provided several improvements. The COAs could now be tracked all in one place via Verisart’s dashboard and collectors can see a clear provenance history as each certificate is time stamped on the blockchain.
