Blockchain Meets Cultural Heritage Preservation
Poland’s bank Pekao is trying to preserve its cultural heritage with blockchain technology. Pekao has partnered with Aleph Zero in order to carry out this project. This innovative project, Archiv3 aims to digitalize and tokenize famous Polish artworks to ensure their easier accessibility and make them more secure for future generations.
Tokenizing Art and Storing it in the Arctic Vault
Archiv3 uses 3D scanning technology to convert physical artwork into Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) on eco-friendly Aleph Zero Blockchain. These NFTs are then stored in the Artic World Archive, which is a highly secure facility situated in Norway. Arctic World Archive is a crucial storage designed to store important information in case of cyber threats and disasters.
The Role of Blockchain in Safeguarding Cultural Assets
This innovative initiative by Bank Pekao highlights the fusion of traditional, cultural artwork into modern technology. This initiative ensures long-term preservation of cultural assets. This project along with other several projects going on currently shows the increasing role of Blockchain in digital asset management.
