keeps records in a way that&rsquo;s very hard to change or fake. Think of it like a digital ledger that many people have copies of. If someone tries to change one copy, all the others will show it&rsquo;s wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Cryptocurrency uses blockchain technology for digital money. However, the same technology can be used to track who owns a piece of art, where it came from, and its history.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h.623u1mouvchl\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Blockchain_Helps_Artists\"><\/span>How Blockchain Helps Artists<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3 id=\"h.tfco6g5c06fb\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Creating_a_Digital_Certificate\"><\/span>Creating a Digital Certificate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When an artist creates a new artwork, they can register it on a blockchain.

This creates a complete history of who has owned the artwork, also called its &ldquo;provenance.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Good provenance is one of the best ways to prove an artwork is real. With blockchain, this record becomes impossible to fake.
