WISeKey is following a multichain strategy for its WISe.ART platform through a partnership with CasperLabs and Ocean Protocol. CasperLabs’ incredible expertise on the crypto market and Ocean Protocol’s outstanding solution for Initial Data Market Offerings make them ideal partners to reinforce WISeKey’s unique position and for launching of its TrustECoin token.

WISeKey’s NFT platform for creating, marketing and selling NFTs as digital twins for high-end luxury collectibles and artwork, links the NFTs to actual physical art or collectibles, attaches digital rights and creates true value for collectors, artists, brands, etc. in the luxury collectibles and art market.

The marketplace created will work with WISeKey’s own token which has all necessary functions for preventing fraud, managing digital rights and KYC for anti-money laundering while securing the privacy of any collector or owner.
