Indestructibility

Ship of Theseus (SoT) is an insurance protocol, ensuring the artwork's value if it gets lost or damaged.

The artwork has three factors of authentication. It’s secure if the owner has at least two of these: the physical contract, digital contract (NFT), or the physical painting.

  1. If the physical contract is lost, a new physical contract is issued where user sets his own PIN by proving ownership of the other two.
  2. If the digital contract (NFT) is compromised or a blockchain switch is needed, a new NFT is minted as the 'original' with proof from the other two components.
  3. Damaged physical painting can be replaced, with the new painting becoming the 'original.' This makes the artwork indestructible as long as the other components are confirmed, ensuring its continuity.
