One of the significant aspects determining many processes in our lives is how financial and economic systems work. Value and means of storing value have drastically changed over the last 20 years with the growth and market adoption of blockchain and cryptocurrencies. People have understood the importance of consensus based on transparency and traceability.
Digital creators have felt the effects of this shift throughout the last decades, mainly since a third-party provider managing the relationship between a buyer and a seller has always been present in most cases. Adding another layer to the relationship between digital content and a buyer must happen in a transparent context to facilitate the system's growth and trust - this was not possible until recently. However, the NFT technology is becoming the favourite method of enhancing this relationship where both parties are comfortable with the process, experience and outcome of buying or selling a digital asset.
We live in a world where content creation is fundamental in our digital society. People who create content become opinion leaders and influencers based on what they think, say or do.
The way that creators monetize their content is highly dependent on the guidelines and regulations imposed by prominent media players in the global tech market. In most cases, the creators eventually have their creativity taken away by the platform managing, promoting or selling their content. They are either demonetized or have restrictions and limitations imposed by technology providers who believe they have not met the standard criteria. However, there's still hope for a better, more optimistic and fair world in the context of digital content creation. There's hope that technology is working as an enabler and not as a wall.
Every time a creator thinks about a new product, their mind opens up to a different perspective. Where usual concepts transform into unusual ones and become the new standard. In this process, the creator manifests their desires and dreams while choosing suitable ways to encapsulate them.
Digital content has become the new way people accept the value of someone’s ideas. A new way a creator can use NFT technology to encapsulate their talent and organize to sell their work to the entire world. A piece of every artwork displayed in a digital gallery is part of the creator’s spirit, and it needs the proper care.
The ownership of digital assets has always been a challenging aspect of building value as technology advanced through the years. Blockchain technology is now helping us solve some of the issues associated with ownership of digital assets, focusing more on adding value to the creators and protecting them from having their work taken away.
Recent times have shown that the power of digital communities is endless. Especially true when working together to change the way our society functions. Whether it’s human rights, environment or art, we are now living in a time where people want and need to belong more than at any time in the history of humankind.
Through connectivity and a strong desire to create digital communities, we have built some of the greatest things the world has ever seen. The early days of blockchain technology have shown the possibilities of creating a harmonious yet decentralized society by harnessing a strong vision. In this society, consensus governs over power and access, a world where financial, cultural, or educational limitations do not dictate a person's ambitions to make the world a better place.
With the help of blockchain technology, creators have access to a new global stage, where their work, art, dreams and hopes can be displayed in a digital format empowering them to create more and worry less. The development of NFT has opened up a new era in the digital age; from a financial, societal and democratic perspective.
Ahead of us, there is a new world, one in which the creators can own their work and the benefits that come with it. The value is given by a society that works with general consensus and transparency as drivers for innovation and growth. Ahead of us is a new generation of creators, artists and people who are making the world a better place. We must cultivate the right environment, infrastructure, and context to succeed in what they are doing.
NFT is a short form for non-fungible tokens. It is a certificate for proof of ownership of a digital or real asset that has unique characteristics. Its non-fungibility nature makes it indivisible and unchangeable unlike money or other cryptocurrencies that can be interchanged for another.
Tokens on the blockchain can be classified as either fungible or non-fungible assets.
For instance, you can break dollars into cents and bitcoin into particles known as satoshis. But you can’t break or sell part of Nfts without spoiling the whole. It is like selling part of a sculpture or painting.
Fungible tokens are interchangeable; they are identical and can be replaced by another identical token. These tokens can represent anything from cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and video game currency to tokenized versions of real-world goods like crude oil or gold.
Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are one-of-a-kind and so cannot be exchanged.
These collectibles are minted as NFTs through a Cryptography technology known as a Blockchain network. This is where vital information about the NFT is stored indefinitely and can be viewed by the public to ensure ownership transparency.
Non-fungible assets are unique and cannot be immediately interchanged, such as a piece of digital art you made, a car ownership certificate, or a game character.
The NFT development has changed the game for digital artists and content creators. NFT offers a platform for them to safeguard the ownership of their works and monetize them. In addition, creators also get royalties on their works each time the NFT is transferred to a different owner, so as a creator of an NFT you can still earn from your creation even after you have sold it.
NFTs are the hot cakes of the digital world, so it’s only natural they come with some legal and originality challenges. While NFTs are considered to be a certificate of authenticity, in reality, creators don’t necessarily have to possess the copyright of virtual collectibles before minting them on the blockchain.
The implication of this is that when you buy artworks from fake digital creators, you may be liable for copyright infringement by the rightful owner of the copyright. In some cases, the collectible may not even be hosted on the blockchain, but a conventional and unsafe hosting solution somewhere on the internet.
The issue with neither the sellers nor the buyers owning the copyright of some NFTs is that it creates room for scammers to abuse the space. Many scammers end up profiting more than the true artists since the market is decentralized and there is no law prohibiting them from doing so. Therefore, before buying any NFT do your due diligence, research the authenticity of the artwork and verify whether the person selling it has the authority to do so.
This is a significant issue that Autentica Technology can resolve.
MOVED BY ART. POWERED BY TECH.
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.
PIONEER AUTHENTICATION TECHNOLOGY AT WORK.
The development of NFTs as a technology has opened a world of possibilities for artists to explore their potential, yet not to safely explore their potential. The flood of artworks is endless, and the NFT community is increasingly affected and sceptical by authenticity issues concerning digital assets.
Through our proprietary technology, we embed a digital certificate directly into the content of each artwork, a process known as steganography. For a digital asset to be verified, it must include specific information about its creator and blockchain transaction, which will make it forever traceable back to its author and current owner.
Another significant issue our technology addresses is safeguarding artworks against clones by using artificial intelligence, which conducts automatic analysis on the asset's content, not the file. We examine the artworks on the largest NFT blockchains (Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain networks) and our platform. Any excessive similarity in the content file is immediately flagged for review, and our Review Team steps in and ensures that all published artworks are original.
STEGANOGRAPHY & DIGITAL CERTIFICATION
The word steganography derives from the Greek words steganos (hidden) & graph (to write). It represents the technique of hiding secret data within an ordinary file. We translate this into modern digital steganography by embedding a digital certificate directly into the content of each artwork, specifically by inserting confidential data bits in the least significant bit positions of the original image (LSB/Right Most bit). Thus, the secret payload we encode without altering the image itself ensures authenticity and eliminates duplication threats.
CHECKSUMS
Our system generates and stores a fingerprint for each unique digital artwork that sits on blockchains by calculating hashes on pixels rather than files. We do so to ensure that there is no other artwork previously published when a creator attempts to submit their work.
AI FEATURE PRINTS
We add an extra layer of security to the artwork verification process by using AI Feature Prints. Thus, whenever a creator publishes a new artwork, the content of that image will be analyzed through AI Feature Prints, and any image similarity with existing artworks will be automatically flagged.
COMMUNITY REVIEW
Whenever the above digital authentication layers flag potential issues or similarities, our team of reviewers cast the final approval vote. In the future we plan to open this process to our community. The beauty of blockchain lies in the level of trust, shared accountability and collaboration it has made possible. As a result, we've created an advantageous compensation system using our $AUT token to reward reviewers when final artwork approval is requested.
THE OUTCOME
The ultimate outcome of our technology is 100% authentic digital assets (NFTs) with an embedded secret payload (or digital certificate) that makes the NFTs forever traceable to the author and current owner. The outcome is a trustworthy digital universe for our community where art is given the attention, respect and security it deserves.
Artists and creators can transform their artworks into authentic NFTs without exposing themselves to fraudulent use or duplicates. Collectors and traders can verify the authenticity of their purchased artworks and access rare digital art items.
Through the minting process, we embed a digital certificate directly into the content of each artwork, a process known as steganography. This will ensure the NFT can be verified in the future and will include specific information about its creator and blockchain transactions.
The process involves inserting confidential data bits in the least significant bit positions of the original image (usually LSB/Right Most bit). This does not alter the image itself, yet the secret payload we encode ensures authenticity and eliminates duplication threats. The steganography process will make it forever traceable back to its author and current owner.
We currently support Ethereum, the Binance Smart Chain, and soon any EVM-based network. Multiple blockchain support allows our users to link multiple wallets to their accounts from the same or different networks. We link all the NFTs that those wallets contain and place them in the users' Collection through our blockchain data processors, thus enabling easy artwork management.
Our users are at the core of everything we do, so we're exploring the idea of engaging select people within our community to choose artworks for feature and evaluate artworks that our machine-learning algorithms flag as probable duplicates.
We've designed a trust level system in which the actions of these users serve at first as indicators, climbing to the highest level of trust. Our user's actions and efforts become definitive in evaluating and featuring artworks and will receive rewards in $AUT tokens.
The Autentica Certification program validates the artworks authenticity by determining whether artworks contain the Autentica Digital Signature and blockchain metadata that links the image to a unique NFT on the blockchain.
This program allows our users to verify artwork by uploading the image directly or by providing the URL to an NFT.
When the user tries to verify an artwork by uploading the image directly or by using an URL supported by the providers listed below, the result of the verification should inform the user about:
If the form upload method is used, the user should see the list of blockchain details from the Autentica Digital Signature in the report (Blockchain Network, Smart Contract Address, and NFT ID). - the artwork contains the Autentica Digital Signature.
If the URL-based method is used, the program will enforce that the blockchain details from the Autentica Digital Signature to match with the blockchain information found at that URL. If there is a mismatch then this will lead to a failed verification.
If the artwork was duplicated, according to the records we have in our database where multiple NFTs were minted elsewhere with the same content, the user should be informed about how many other duplicates there are and should see a preview of the first three ordered by creation time, with the possibility of seeing all orders.
If the verification is not possible due to problems with smart contracts that hold the verified artworks, network issues with the storage provider for those artworks, invalid URL formats, unsupported URLs, NFT doesn’t exist, etc.
Our mission to support artists motivated us to create a process that allows creators to get financial support for the minting process. We have a selected group of investors that can handle the transaction fees in case a creator does not have the funds to do so themselves.
Unlike other platforms, Autentica NFT Marketplace makes it easy for artists to authenticate, promote and sell their art. The user can choose to mint the NFTs themselves or have our select group of investors handle the transaction fees, while the minted NFTs will be owned and linked to the creator's wallet.
Our technology ensures artists can protect and are in control of their intellectual property by creating authentic NFTs without the risk of fraudulent use or duplicates.
With a digital society hungry for daily and creative new content, we live in a context where the digitalization of the image, audio, and video has become a new reality in entertaining the masses. Artists, brands, and businesses of all sizes may now leverage content production to increase exposure and networking opportunities. With 70% of the creators focusing more on quality than quantity, it’s very important that the creators stay protected and that their work is not stripped away from them.
Our authenticity proprietary technology allows us to protect creators from having their original content taken away, and it helps protect traders from purchasing fake NFTs. This is at the core of our vision to implement a safe, transparent and user-friendly environment for traders and creators to co-exist.
With millions of creators around the globe who are willing to be seen and heard, the world needs a stage for creators to be assured that their work is protected.
Our $AUT token serves our community and is built on the Ethereum blockchain. It is designed to fuel the entire ecosystem.
REWARD SYSTEM
Our community is rewarded with $AUT Tokens for their contributions to the curating, trading, or strengthening of the Autentica 3-dimensional ecosystem sustainable and organic growth.
FIXED SUPPLY
People own the token for future use in our ecosystem or because they have already used it. There is no expectation of a reward for holding the token or for the token to be diluted for subsidized network use.
DAO
The ultimate focus of our ongoing efforts is to adapt and evolve toward a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), in which our platform users would own all the decision-making authority.
The rewarding of our creators and traders is our token’s primary purpose.

Autentica Token ($AUT) is a community-focused token designed to fuel the ecosystem, rewarding the creators and traders.
Additionally, the token can also provide reduced service costs, honor and reward our community reviewers and editors, and compensate our select group of investors, who cover the minting expenses for creators who don't want or know how to mint their own tokens.
The ultimate focus of our ongoing efforts is to adapt and evolve toward a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO), in which our platform users would own all the decision-making authority. The $AUT token will serve as the means of governance: it enables users to vote on various updates and helps the platform determine how it should evolve. It offers complete transparency, total shareholder control, unprecedented flexibility, and autonomous governance. This puts Autentica in harmony with our most dedicated users and draws us closer to making Autentica a public good where community members put their beliefs to work.
The Autentica Token ($AUT) is a standard ERC-20 token created for the Ethereum blockchain, with a fixed supply of 1 billion. The token is built on the OpenZeppelin Contracts framework that is heavily tested and audited by the community.
The token's source code is available here.
In order to support royalties and keep references to the investors that handled the NFT minting process on behalf of other creators we defined the following structure called TokenDetails
This structure enables us to determine who created the token, who minted it (the creator or an investor), the royalty fee, and if the royalty fee should be shared with an investor if the token was not minted by the creator.
The additional storage that this smart contracts uses on top of the ERC721URIStorage
, ERC721Enumerable
and AccessControl
is the address of the NFT Marketplace smart contract which handles the trading part and a mapping from token ID to the TokenDetails
structure which contains information like the creator and investor address, royalty fee and the investor fee.
Minting
The standard minting process is to invoke the mint
function with tokenId
which represents a unique identifier for the NFT, uri
which represents the Uniform Resource Identifier that identifies the JSON file describing the NFT, and royaltyFee
which represents the royalties that the creator will earn from subsequent sales expressed as a percentage.
If the creator is unable to mint the NFT due to the process's intricacy or the rising network gas fees, he/she can decide to mint the NFT through an investor. Prior to handing over the artwork to the Investor, he/she sets the royaltyFee
that he/she wishes to earn from subsequent sales, as well as the investorFee
, which represents the percentage that he/she gives to the Investor from his/hers proceeds each time the NFT is traded.
The investor then invokes the investorMintingAndApproveMarketplace
function with the following parameters:
creator
which represents the address of the one that created the artwork
tokenId
which represents a unique identifier for the NFT
uri
which represents the Uniform Resource Identifier that identifies the JSON file describing the NFT
royaltyFee
which represents the royalties that the creator will earn from subsequent sales expressed as a percentage
investorFee
which represents a percentage from the creator's proceeds that is shared with the Investor each time the NFT is traded
v
, r
and s
that represents the ECDSA signature which verifies that the parameter values were chosen by the creator.

Autentica Market (AUTMKT) is an ERC-721 smart contract that enables anyone to mint NFTs through our . In addition to the ERC-721 standard, our smart contract also enables creators to receive royalties for each subsequent sale by implementing a proprietary solution which is described in the interface but also the standard to ensure that creators are compensated for every sale, regardless of whether that sale occurs on the same platform where the NFT was originally created or on a different platform entirely that also supports that standard.
Minting NFTs can be a problem for many artists because of the technical aspects or because of the high costs associated to this process, and for this our Autentica Market (AUTMKT) smart contract enables creators that use our to have someone else cover the minting process and pay for the gas fees associated to it. What this means is that a creator can choose to have an investor to mint the NFT on his behalf and also cover the associated gas fees, while the the newly created NFT is owned by the creator. This solution is implemented on both the and the smart contract.
The smart contract inherits 's Context

Functionality of the AUT token as well as the release schedule.
The Autentica token ($AUT) has a fixed supply of one billion, and it will be released in stages over the course of 60 months following the Token Generation Event (TGE). From the total of one billion Autentica tokens, only 27,200,000 will be in circulation at listing.
*TGE means Token Generation Event.
These are the goals we had in mind when designing the protocol:
Make it as accessible as possible to sellers by not requiring them to perform blockchain transactions when listing their NFTs for sale, hence saving on gas fees.
Temporarily suspend the smart contract in the event of an emergency.
Behind the scenes, tradeForCoins
and tradeForTokens
functions are actually calling canPerformTrade
and determine whether or not the user is allowed to perform a trade with the specified parameters, but the reason for why canPerformTrade
is exposed publicly is to allow the user to check if the trade is possible without actually performing it. This avoids having to pay gas fees if the transaction fails due to unmet conditions.
canPerformTrade
is executed to check if the user is allowed to perform a trade using the specified parameters.
This function validates the following conditions:
The smart contract is not paused;
The collection
smart contract is a valid ERC-721 smart contract;
The owner approved this smart contract to transfer the NFT identified by tokenId
on their behalf;
The royalty fee for the creator and marketplaceFee
do not exceed 100%;
The ECDSA signature
that encodes all these parameters and a few others has been signed by an authorized user.
tradeForCoins
is used to perform a trade using coins (the native cryptocurrency of the platform, i.e.: ETH).This function performs the following actions:
Guards against reentrancy;
Executes canPerformTrade
to validate the parameters;
Sends the proceeds to each party involved if the amount is greater than zero:
Owner: The owner of the NFT;
Investor:
The investor who minted the NFT on behalf of the creator.
Note: The investor is payed from the proceeds of the creator.
Creator: The creator of the NFT if the royalty fee is greater than 0% and the creator is no longer the owner.
Marketplace: The Autentica Marketplace.
Transfers the NFT to the buyer.
Emits the TradedForCoins
event.
tradeForTokens
is used to perform a trade using tokens (i.e. : AUT/USDT/USDC).This function performs the following actions:
Guards against reentrancy;
Validates that the ERC-20 token
address is allowed to be used for trading;
Executes canPerformTrade
to validate the parameters;
Sends the proceeds to each party involved if the amount is greater than zero:
Owner: The owner of the NFT;
Investor:
The investor who minted the NFT on behalf of the creator.
Note: The investor is payed from the proceeds of the creator.
Creator: The creator of the NFT if the royalty fee is greater than 0% and the creator is no longer the owner.
Marketplace: The Autentica Marketplace.
Transfers the NFT to the buyer.
Emits the TradedForTokens
event.
TradedForCoins
is emitted when a trade is performed using coins (the native cryptocurrency of the platform, i.e. : ETH).TradedForTokens
is emitted when a trade is performed using tokens (i.e. : AUT/USDT/USDC).The Core Team pool represents tokens distributed to all members that helped shape Autentica. Every participant is incentivized to continue contributing to the project and the ecosystem. We gave each member a signing bonus of 60,000 $AUT tokens, which will become available on listing day. The remainder of their tokens will become vested over the course of three years, at intervals of six months each.
Number of members: 20
TGE unlock per member: 60,000 $AUT tokens
Total number of tokens per member when fully vested: 750,000 $AUT tokens
Total vesting period: three years
We are committed to using the marketing funds responsibly to raise awareness of the Authentic token ($AUT) and our products. We see marketing as an essential component of any business strategy, so we have set aside 22% of the total supply for this purpose.
Total vesting period: five years

Our referral program incentivises Autentica users who promote the marketplace to other users. This is made possible with the use of a unique link that participants can share with their community. The program will run until 15 September 2022.
Below are the five referral levels that our users can achieve:
Level 1 Task:
Create your account and have ten people create new accounts using your referral link. Target: 10,000 accounts created by September 2022. Reward: 250 $AUT. Budget: 2,500,000 $AUT
Level 2 Task:
Have the first five people who opened an account with your referral link make at least one trade. Target: 50,000 trades by Sepember 2022. Reward: 500 $AUT. Budget: 2,500,000 $AUT.
A key pillar in our strategy is community building.
Coinciding with our goal to enable artists to showcase their work to a global audience, we created the brand ambassador program to help us build a strong community of artists and creators, validated by real people and consolidated with ideas, opinions, and shared beliefs.
Autentica brand Ambassador is focused on 2 communities:
1.Artists
Creators who are passionate about digital artwork, and have worked with NFTs, or, are passionate about both the technology and the freedom that comes with it. We are welcoming communities, art associations and individuals artists who are interested in helping us educate the world about the benefits of digital artwrok trading.
2. Traders
Traders who have been involved in the NFT space are our main focus in order to work together towards educating the world about how does NFT trading work, and how people can create new revenue streams by doing such. For traders, we aim to provide them support and a platform to help them create their own content, which will be monitored by our team.
These positions are paid in $AUT and we have a limited capacity of 500 positions for each of the 2 categories described above. We are commited to onboarding people from all over the world, and have designated a proportional number of seats based on the region's size, openness to digital and population.
Our program will go live on 20 July, when we will open the application process. More updates through our social media platforms coming soon.

The Founders pool represents the tokens distributed to all founding members of Autentica. We opted to split the Team pool into two categories: Founders and Core Team. This provides our community with a transparent view of how tokens are distributed within our team and conforms to the standard practice among the top-tier projects in the industry when referring to the token vesting model. The Founders pool is locked from the beginning, and has a 12-month vesting cliff, followed by a 24-month equal monthly release (total vesting of three years).
Total vesting period: three years
The Pre-seed pool consists of the tokens sold to investors during the Pre-seed round. The token vesting model for this pool is identical to that of the Founders pool. This means that the pool is locked from the beginning, has a 12-month vesting cliff, followed by a 24-month equal monthly release (total vesting of three years).
Total vesting period: three years
We will use tokens in the Reserve pool for liquidity, for programs like the Referral and Brand Ambassador Program, and any other future use cases that may arise. Fifteen percent of tokens in this pool will become available at the TGE, with the remaining $AUT tokens subject to a three-year vesting period.
Total vesting period: three years
