Instead of paper certificates or letters that can be easily forged, items from The Realest feature a secure authentication hologram. This hologram acts as a digital Certificate of Authenticity and is permanently tied to the item.
Here’s how it works:
- Each item carries a tamper-proof hologram with a unique ID you can scan to view provenance and verification details.
- We use TRuEST™ Authentication, our multi-step process that includes covert item marking and blockchain-backed records.
- Even if The Realest were ever to shut down, your item’s verification details would remain permanently accessible online via our decentralized ledger.
Because we can re-authenticate items at any time, you’ll also be able to resell items you win at auction directly on The Realest. Learn more in our Resales FAQ.
