# What is Autentica?

Autentica is a Swiss technology company committed to empowering and safeguarding the creators of the world. With the help of blockchain technology, we have created a 3-dimensional ecosystem helping people create, buy and sell digital assets.

**PROPRIETARY AUTHENTICATION TECHNOLOGY**

We enable creators to transform their artworks into authentic NFTs without exposing themselves to fraudulent use or duplicates.

**MARKETPLACE**

The marketplace is our digital art universe where creators, collectors and traders can authenticate and validate their digital assets.

**AUTENTICA TOKEN**

The official payment protocol for our ecosystem is our $AUT token, fueling the entire ecosystem by supporting monetization for creators and community members.

This is our universe - a transparent layer between artists, traders and the system.
