NFTs Are Changing Our World
By creating blockchain solutions made specifically for the art world, LiveArtX is ensuring that artists, galleries and collectors can easily participate in this revolution, while at the same time establishing best practices and long sought-after solutions for the art world’s most vexing problems.
NFTs are a part of an art-world revolution that not only gives voice to a new generation of artists, but also provides ways for artists and their communities to secure rights and revenues that were previously impossible.
This new world is one we understand. LiveArt is both art and tech.
We've held leadership roles at Sotheby’s and Christie’s. We are gallerists. We are collectors. We have worked with hundreds of artists. We have built technology platforms for the art world.
In 2021 our founding team came together to build LiveArt.io for the art world. This platform shaped technology to enable artists and collectors to have a direct line of communication with each other.

Change is hard. And only more so in the art world. But as disruptions come to so many traditional industries, we seamlessly bring the art world into the world of Web3, with all of its expanded creative and market opportunities.
We see that within the art world, blockchain technology is a new medium, not just a currency or collectible. An NFT is as foundational as a blank canvas, and blockchain is changing the way artists are thinking about their process. LiveArt works with artists to unlock the creative potential of NFTs, and to facilitate art that is both on blockchain and of blockchain.
Our products are based on a careful analysis of how each stakeholder in the art ecosystem will be affected by NFTs:
* For Collectors - A Curated NFT Marketplace vetted for quality and authenticity. With the LiveArtX NFT marketplace, collectors gain access to NFTs produced by artists at top-tier global art galleries.
* For Community - The #ART token powers the whole community. It gives collectors & artists the power to own the platform they use and gain access to exclusive art experiences.
* For Artists - The LiveArtX Creator Hub is a set of tools that allow artists to customize metadata, editions and enforce rights & royalties on-chain.
* For Galleries and Art Fairs: A turnkey "white-labeled" NFT minting and selling platform deployed on your website, for your artists and collectors, and under your own brand
* For Museums and Cultural Institutions: Partnership opportunities for best practices in digital art stewardship, drop-sites for NFT donations, and NFT strategies for innovative community engagement
* For Developers - Our Developer Lab is an open-source initiative to enable developers to use our smart contracts for themselves.

Marketplace
Our marketplace is the ultimate destination for trading fine art NFTs. Ultimately, we believe in 3 core principles for maintaining a high-quality marketplace.

Users Become Owners
We've reserved 40% of our $ART token supply to reward the most active members of the LiveArtX marketplace. Members with high NFT trading volume will be rewarded tokens to decide the future of the platform. After all, they will know best.

Our White Label Solution makes it easy for art galleries to create & curate their own NFT marketplace. Think of it as the Shopify for NFTs.
As the NFT art market continues to grow exponentially, there will be more demand than ever for high-quality, curated artwork.

How It Works
We've designed our marketplace to be authentic and accessible. You don't need to be crypto-native to purchase NFTs. We enable everyone to collect great art.
Payment Methods
We make it as easy as possible to purchase an NFT. You can use:
* Ethereum
* A Credit card
Coming soon:
* Binance Coin
* Polygon
* Palm
Reserve Price
The reserve price is the lowest amount a seller is willing to accept for artwork during an auction. However, this number will be hidden from bidders during the auction.
If a collector placed a bid during an auction, it must be above that price or they won't receive the artwork.
Selling
As a token owner, you have a few options to sell your artwork.
Auction - This is a standard English auction. You can set a designated time for collectors to place bids. You'll set a reserve price for your token that will ensure you get fair value.
Fixed price - Set a single fixed price for your NFT. The collector will be able to buy it instantly.
Buying
If you find an NFT you love you can check if it's available for a set price. If it is, then you'll be able to instantly purchase it and see it in your crypto wallet.
If the artwork is currently in an auction, then you'll need to place a bid.
Bidding
You can place a bid on an artwork that is currently being auctioned. Once you've placed your bid, the owner can choose to accept your offer or wait out the auction.
If your bid offer was higher than the reserve price and the highest bid, you'll receive the artwork.

Curation
The Best of the Best
Most NFT marketplaces face a serious problem. They're polluted by seas of inferior NFTs. Collectors need to spend countless hours to find something they love. That's why LiveArtX is a curated platform, to ensure every artwork is first-rate and authentic.
Our curation helps collectors cut through the clutter and find something they love.
LiveArtX Marketplace will reflect the artistic tastes of:
* Our community
* The curation team at LiveArtX
* Galleries using the White Label Solution
Verifying Original Artwork
Many NFT marketplaces suffer from swarms of fraud and scams. That's why it's so important to make sure that the true creator and/or owner is the one listing the NFT. Our platform guarantees that every NFT is authentic and belongs to the proper owner.
The best way to empower artists is by stopping scammers.
Our Creator Hub uses powerful technology to scan the artwork and identify the original token on the blockchain.
Powered by Industry Experts
We've gathered a team of industry experts with decades of experience. We understand what makes art great. We believe every NFT on our platform can find a home with a collector who loves it.
As the community evolves, we plan on delegating more to $ART token owners. We're the art community of the future. And a big part of that means allowing every member of the community to contribute to curation.

Certificate of Authenticity
As an NFT marketplace, we have a responsibility to ensure an artworks authenticity. That’s why we create a certificate of authenticity for every NFT on our platform.
It includes the most important information about the artwork. You’ll be able to see:
* The creator's address
* When they minted the NFT
* The smart contract of the NFT
* How many times the artwork has been traded
* An Archival Package, including exhibition and display guidance
* Legally vetted terms for rights and reproduction
Our mission is to build a marketplace that artists and collectors can trust.
Protecting Your NFT
It's important to protect your crypto wallet while buying NFTs. We believe in best practices for storing and preserving your NFT collection.
How Ethereum wallets work
Crypto wallets are like real wallets. But because they're digital, they use cryptography to ensure that only the proper owner can use them. There are 2 ways to gain access to a wallet on the Ethereum network.
A Secret recovery phrase can create as many Ethereum addresses as you need. This one phrase grants you access to all of the wallets it creates. It’s important to keep this as safe & secure as humanly possible.
A Private key grants you access to a single Ethereum wallet.
Best Practices
When using cryptocurrency, it's important to follow best practices to secure the safety of your funds.
Storing Your Secret Recovery Phrase
When you create your wallet, you should write your secret recovery phrase on a piece of paper. Then, you should make one copy and store them in two separate locations. This protects you in case one of them gets destroyed.
Some location storage ideas are a vault or a safety deposit box.
Use Multiple Wallets
When participating in Web3, you should spread your funds across multiple wallets. This way, if one of them is jeopardized, you don't lose all of your crypto.
Use Centralized Exchanges
Most users only need a small amount of their crypto in an active wallet. The rest can be stored on a centralized exchange such as Coinbase. Their security is top-notch and so long as you follow best practices, you shouldn't run into any problems.

Tokenomics
$ART is a deflationary token with a supply of 1,000,000,000. It powers the LiveArtX community.
Token Distribution
(https://3963845615-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9LKO7EozVTkTbhzyEJS7%2Fuploads%2F0m8TyrUHuoeZtpABhZVI%2FNew%20Gradients.png?alt=media&token=ecb8717d-183e-49fa-8525-1bb7cff14f80)
Token Utility
The $ART token governs the LiveArtX Marketplace. Owning the token makes you part owner of our platform. As an owner, you get some pretty powerful benefits.
Access to Community
Ownership of $ART tokens makes you a member of the LiveArtX DAO. This grants you exclusive access to a high-quality network of artists & collectors.
* Connect with art innovators
* See what collectors are aping into
* Learn about the next big NFT projects
This is the kind of community you can’t find anywhere else. If you love art, this is the DAO for you.
Curation by Users for Users
Curated marketplaces have a problem. They only reflect the tastes of the owners. Not the users.
At LiveArtX, we trust your judgment.
As a member of the DAO, you’ll have the power to decide. What gets published and what doesn’t.
Governance Structure
DAO members determine the future of the platform. LiveArtX will be a community-owned platform with the important decisions being made by the people who use it.
This is the art community of the future.
You’ll have the power to:
* Vote on changes
* Create proposals
* Bid in private auctions
Membership Benefits
You receive different benefits based on your membership.
Membership
Owning $ART tokens makes you an owner of the LiveArtX platform. But depending on how many tokens you own, you get access to exclusive privileges. Higher membership levels receive all previous perks.
Level 1 - Governance
Level one membership makes you both an owner and operator of LiveArtX. You decide the future of art.
As a Web3 platform, we’re empowering users as much as possible. As a member of the DAO, you’ll be able to vote on changes to our NFT marketplace, creator hub, or any of our other products.
We go as far as to allow the community to make changes to our roadmap.
Level 2 - Access to Data

As the best artists of our time flock to NFTs, you’ll be the first who can ape in.
Level 4 - Physical Fine Art
NFTs are amazing. Well let’s face it, they’ve got one serious problem. You can’t physically touch them. And most of the world barely understands why they’re valuable.
But everyone understands why true fine art is so valuable.
Level 4 members get exclusive access to the best physical fine art on the market. After all, wouldn’t it be nice to have at least one piece in your collection that your family can understand?
Level 5 - New NFTs
Minting new NFTs is a full-time job. There are countless new projects launching every day. And getting on the whitelist can be exhausting.
As a level 5 member, you won’t have to.
You’ll get exclusive access to the hottest NFT drops before they hit the market.
Level 6 - Elite Events
Get invited to the best Fine Art Web3 events in the world.
Some online, others IRL.
All of them, events you don’t want to miss.

Overview
Our White Label Solution allows galleries to create their own NFT marketplace and curate artwork on it.
The Problem with Galleries
Art galleries are vital to the art ecosystem. But they have many problems which hurt them from expanding beyond their existing market.
Discovery
Galleries must spend thousands of hours discovering great artists. It's time-consuming and expensive. This ensures the quality of the gallery. But at the cost of efficiency.
At LiveArtX, we want to make it easy for galleries to curate the best of the best. But we also want their curation to scale beyond a single location.
Going Digital
Most galleries have struggled to create a strong digital presence. They tend to focus on a great in-person experience.
This made them particularly vulnerable in recent events.
Coronavirus
Shutdowns and social isolation have been brutal for art galleries. People just don't go anymore. This makes it especially important for them to start bringing their artwork online.
And luckily for them, we have just the solution.
Make Your Own Marketplace
White Label allows galleries to launch their own NFT marketplace and curate NFTs created by artists in their gallery.
This will be the biggest disruption in art since the Renaissance.
Any innovative art gallery can launch its own NFT marketplace. The NFTs on their platform will be curated by them. This will bring more art galleries online than ever before. But not just to the internet, to the metaverse.
Creator Hub compliments White Label by making it easy for artists too.
Easy for Artists
Traditional artists can mint their work as NFTs using our Creator Hub. Minting NFTs will be an easy experience. And it will be natively built to support galleries using White Label. But t's not just easy to use. It also protects payments.
The Creator Hub enforces NFT royalty payments on-chain. This means the artist, gallery, and anyone else will receive the proper payments every time the token changes hands. This is different from other NFT token standards because royalty payments aren't normally guaranteed.
We believe in empowering artists. Curation won't be limited to the gallery's platform. But artists will be able to curate their work on LiveArtX as well.
A Platform of Platforms
LiveArtX Marketplace allows artists from White Label galleries to curate their work on LiveArtX in addition to their gallery. This helps everyone in the ecosystem.
* Artists get more exposure for their work
* Collectors have a single platform for the best fine art NFTs
* Galleries onboard their artists to Web3 & receive curator royalty payments
This is going to make LiveArtX the central hub of fine art NFTs.
-
Smart Contract
Our smart contract enables the creation of different ERC-721 tokens. But artists will have lots of options to customize.
!!!Once you deploy your smart contract, you won't need to deploy another one. The contract will allow any artist you curate to mint their token on the same smart contract.
Types of Tokens
Extended- A powerful token standard that supports multiple creators, rights management, and guaranteed resale royalties. It also supports a buyout option for interoperability and supports multiple royalty receivers. Your token is only available on LiveArtX Marketplace.
Standard - An ERC-721 token with rights attached. It supports multiple creators, rights managements and interoperability. However, it does not guarantee royalties when trading on other platforms.
Basic - A standard ERC-721 that supports one creator and is interoperable.
-
Customizing Contracts
LiveArtX understands the importance of representing your identity. This is why we enable you to create a perfectly unique smart contract for your brand. We give you a number of options to customize from the name, symbol, and, most importantly, the contract signature.
We encourage you to think carefully about your custom smart contracts. Once this data is available on the blockchain, it cannot be changed. If you want to make changes in the future, you'll have to
Contract Name
The smart contract name identifies the contract and will be used anywhere your contract is mentioned. We encourage less than 15 characters. You'll be able to search for your smart contract on platforms such as Etherscan.
Contract Symbol
The contract symbol will be publicly available on Etherscan. The symbol will be used when sharing links to your smart contract. It's an additional identifier to help establish your brand identity.
The input is limited to 5 alphanumeric characters.
Contract Signature
You can create a custom Smart contract signature using ASCII. This signature should embody your brand's identity. It will be publicly available on your smart contract.
We encourage you to use this tool to seamlessly sign your contract.
-
Royalties
Our white label solution ensures that everyone in the art world gets paid their fair share. From publishers, to artists, and especially the galleries that curate great artwork.
You can customize the royalties in your smart contract.
* Initial sale - the first sale of an artwork can have customized percentages of the sale paid directly to the proper parties. Galleries and artists alike can trust the power of blockchain technology to guarantee correct payments.
* Secondary sales - our white label solution offers advanced customization for secondary sales. In addition to being able to customize the percentage, the percentage can decrease over time. You’ll be able to lower the percentage based on the years the artwork has been in circulation.
-
Our Tech
We've developed powerful smart contracts. And we want to share them with the world.
Open Source Initiative
The Developer Lab is a set of tools to enable developers to use and customize our smart contracts in any way they'd like. We strongly believe in open source and encourage any and all developers to experiment with our tools.
Bug Bounty
Artists, collectors, and galleries rely on LiveArtX to provide a secure platform. Any flaws in smart contracts can be devastating. The blockchain world has seen the consequences of bugs time and time again, from multi-billion-dollar exchange hacks to devastating flash loan attacks.
While we’re confident in the security of our smart contracts, we encourage bug bounty hunters to find potential ways we can further strengthen our systems. To that end, 1% of $ART is allocated to bug hunting and bounty programs.
This will incentivize individuals and groups to find flaws in our code so that they can be fixed before any damage is done. The program will pay out bounties in $ART tokens, providing an additional use case for the token outside of art transactions. It will also foster a community of individuals who are interested in helping to secure the network, increasing its stability and value over time.
Sandbox
Whitelist
In order to use the Creator Hub sandbox, you'll need to register your Ethereum testnet wallet address to publish NFTs.
Currently, we support:
* Rinkeby
* Palm https://palm.io/
Once we've whitelisted your wallet address, you'll be able to use the Creator Hub. However, this won't be the branded version. In order to see your custom-branded Creator Hub, you'll need to deploy your own smart contract.
Audit Report
All our smart contracts are professionally audited by Certik - https://www.certik.com/
Our technology is tested, safe, and secure. We encourage you to read the full audit report on Certik's website - https://www.certik.com/projects/liveartx
